a video review

Since I was renting the camera - the Sony a7s that is - I figured I might as well record my thoughts on how well it worked with the Steadicam Pilot.

Buck Mountain Song

A little ditty Kathryn Caine wrote and performed with Sam Bush. My camera was there to see them.

Note to self: use more than one camera for a multicam shoot next time.

a brief explanation

Here's a rough drawing that I came up with to explain the difference between Full Frame still photographs and motion picture images, which are after all a succession of still photographs.

NTS - dims in mm

The difference originates from the direction that film travels through the camera's film gate.

There are complications, naturally. And there are many, many aspect ratios, as can be seen here and here. But this directional orientation explains the inherited size difference between (35mm) stills and motion photography.

a set waiting for 4 characters

 

No doubt there are a slew more of these running through my photographic work. Now that it's got a name, they can be categorized and put together in a single loction. How reassuring.
