>>2968416>>2968431>a bit widerI don't mean wider aspect ratio, I mean you'd take the shot you want, on the lens you want, frame it, then pull the camera back 2 feet or whatever. Like a looser shot than intended so that when you crop in you get exactly what you wanted (rather than cropping in from a frame you already liked).
>Is this so he doesn't need a dolly?Of course not. You would do the tracking shot on the dolly still, but the dolly at the end of the day is a mechanical thing, there might be a little bump, or a movement might not be perfect. You would just take that dolly movement and add further stabilization in post to make it perfectly smooth, unnaturally smooth I would say.
About forcing 4k, only Netflix does that right now, and I think stuff on Amazon Prime will as well but not sure about that yet.
With the line skipping thing, I feel like these days memory is less of an issue than resolution, especially in a corporate/interview type situation. It depends obviously but I for one would take quality over memory cards.
The Mad Max thing, upscaling is not the best idea yeah, I'm not sure why they're doing it beyond meme status. Don't know about techniscope but digital upscaling works the same way as any other kind of upscaling, you're trying to pull something out of nothing, so you'll get a poorer quality product if you start pixel peeping. Should you? Probably not, but from a cinematography standpoint you want the best quality image possible to ideally shoot 4K if you want 4K (this was a big argument with the Alexa for a while as it was upscaling UHD instead of shooting 4K natively. They had to accept defeat now and add for-real 4K in the Alexa Mini).
