Was it Tarkovsky who willingly shot in a radioactive area and died from cancer shortly after?

In 50 years I wouldn't be surprised if the job of "editor" in cinema is nearly gone. Every young filmmaker does their own NLE in this era.

Well you gotta consider how many other things they do with your movie for it to go to TV. Censoring certain lines, chopping out scenes for time, changing the aspect ratio and cropping out important shot elements. The credits being cut out is the last of the filmmaker's worries. If I was a smaller guy on the crew then yeah it might upset me but it's just more motivation to be the first name mentioned.

You're able to find a 1K MR for only $150??

I've wondered that too.

If it's dirt cheap I might buy it

Kids out here are watching every movie on their phone and laptop through multiple degrees of digital compression. You'd be surprised how little people care. I'll be like "ew look at that digital noise" and physically point it out and they'll be like "huh? what? oh I guess but whatever it's just a movie". Getting up to adjust the contrast so I can see the shadows better and everyone else will say "stop toying with it it doesn't matter I can see the faces its fine".

It's fascinating how these thread topics spark the most debate yet everyone outside of cinematography find film vs digital to be the least important element of the craft. Then again I'm sure some people in cinematography find it to be the least important element of the craft as well..

Fuddruckers and Popeyes

Yeah the grade could use a little more punch and when the interview audio comes in it immediately destroys the professional vibe you opened with. Also getting more angles of coverage for the main interview would really flesh things out, maybe even have the camera handheld on that portion too. This goes in and out between TV quality and youtube vlogger's student film. I don't believe you're clueless to this, I think the director just settled in the wrong areas. Let me know if you need an audio guy, I'm in the area.

I thought they taught this concept in middle school? Writing an outline for any long paper?

Probably good you ditched it when you did. The original 4K mini is going nowhere but down.

Hmmmmmmmmm

The only time the camera fell short was the outdoor tests around 2:55. But for 5% of the price, not bad at all.

Incredible as a B-cam
