You’re right but the cropping affects framing and how far or close you have to from your subject. That’s an important thing to consider.

You can use your tripod and slider as a crane with the tilt and pan loosened.

Works best with a tripod head or whatever it’s called.

Thing is most filmmakers are starting out with crop-sensors not full-frame so a 35mm would be more precise. Now, more filmmakers are starting mirrorless and their crop factors are usually 2 so a full-frame 50mm on them is 100mm. IJS. It makes more sense to invest in full-frame lenses if one should ever go up.

I’m 30 going on 31, still look young. Chris Nolan did Following at 29 so I’m on track having completed a short “An Hour Past Her Time” on Prime Video. I finished the first draft of my first feature script. Plus, I have a degree in Economics.

One thing I’ll like to point out is the actress Von Hammer-something (didn’t care to look it up) notices the mishap with British 3 versus the German 3 in the bar and immediately squirms.

She discloses what happened and why it happened to Lt. Raine.

All the points mentioned in the video are nice. However, as a fellow screenwriter, Quentin writes how the characters he create would talk. I watch numerous films and be confused like “Who talks like that under those circumstances?”

As far as networking, I’m not shy just don’t like hanging out. I’m only 30 at that. I agree with these notes, I bookmarked it but I believe in having something to offer. It’s a lot of BS’ers, I do it as well but having something to offer that benefits whoever you’re talking to will take you further. Gems from Brian Tracy’s Psychology of Selling. I don’t have anything completed to offer. Finished writing the first draft of my first feature script that I feel real strong about so that’s what I have to offer once it’s completed.

Gotta know our goals.

Wanna be a cinematographer...sweet talk whoever then start letting them know what you can do for them. Key is having to sound altruistic.

Offering a free service would get you in the door a lot quicker than most things.
