Article Comment – Tom Cruise's COVID Protocol Rant Raises Questions Over Raising Your Voice on Set

Doesn’t matter if you believe in covid or not. Rules are rules. If you don’t like them, you go home and work somewhere else.
When you’re living in a production bubble, where everyone is tested, and doesn’t leave the bubble, is it a little ridiculous to have to walk around with a mask on 24/7 and stay away from everyone else in the bubble? Yes, of course it is. Covid will not magically appear one morning.
But, you know the rules going in. Either play the game or go home.

Tom, though, should have been addressing the Covid Officer. He/she is the one clearly not doing the job.

Article Comment – 4 Creative Ways to Use Your Inspire 2 On Set

I think the point of this is excellent. To use drones (or basically, the amazing gimbals that the camera's sit on) in far more many ways than just flying.
And as filmmakers, content creators, etc., this is not to say that a film should "only be made with this one camera"...but rather, use this as a tool in your arsenal....
If you need a rack focus, then use a camera and lens that can do that....

Article Comment – How to Follow the 180-Degree Rule While Shooting Coverage

Agree 100%
there is nothing confusing about the Shining scene. I know exactly where I am looking and where the actors are. These 'rules' are, more-or-less, for people still trying to make film-school-films.
Can we please look forward to something different?

Article Comment – Watch: 100 of the Most Iconic Shots from the Last 100 Years of Cinema

Unimpressive.
It is an unfortunate by-product of the digital age. History is too easily rewritten, shaped, and spewed out in to the cyber-world to be ingested as fact.

Not even the 'most iconic' shots from some of these films.
At least try putting them in chronological order?
The Avengers (twice?)?? But yet, not a one from some of the most beautifully shot scenes like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzinPgsxokE (Deakins).

I cringe at the thought of what these so-called "official selections" will look like in 20 years. Yikes!
