>>4111117Are your editing skills so bad you're seriously implying I couldn't have achieved the look of a flareless, correctly exposed picture shot on film through a lens with noticeable barrel distortion and edge blurriness? Do you really think I couldn't have achieved the same starting from a color RAW captured by a CMOS sensor? All it takes is playing with the curves and some simple effects, it's extra easy because it's black and white.
>>4111121I don't use white borders, they look awful and there's a dishonesty element to them.
>He jerks off over cinema because he thinks the story, acting, and direction can make up for his photographic incompetence.Wrong, it's more taxing on the photographer. Instead of a single compelling picture being enough, you need a stream of them.
>But cinema isnt a progression from photographyWrong.
>it combines the efforts of multiple people one of which is basically an photographer, an photographer which takes many photos in sequence.The only one taking photos is the camera operator, an assistant. The photographer (DP) is the one making them.
>If you’re a dogshit photographer whose mastery of light, shadow, distance, speed, framing, and optical tricks maxes out at shopping for film stocks and general gearfaggotryProjection much?
>>4111146I enjoy both, I'm just saying that one indulges in still photography as an escape from the real task.
>>4111169Cinema is to stills what songs are to notes. Your comparison is invalid.
