ok matt, so obviously it's absolutely no problem for you to nail exposure to 1/3 of a stop since you always bounce the lights from the walls, force your actors to hit the mark on every take, always use cameras which are perfectly calibrated and ask the clouds to stay at their place.. fair enough.
but dont treat everybody who just wants to film their kids fooling around or their best friends wedding like they would be stupid if they sometimes have a hard time to tell them to hold up the grey card in the proper angle.
no hard feelings, just kinda annoyed

i don't treat people at all, i'm just saying that nailing exposure isn't that hard and i maintain that position. to be honest i think you show more arrogance towards the average shooter by assuming that they can't. if there are people who can't it's those who aren't at all interested, but i'm fairly sure they aren't interested in what effect a 1/3 over or underexposure has on the density, saturation and grain of the film either. as a matter of fact i think they shoot video and not super 8. this is a medium used by people interested in photography.christoph wrote:ok matt, so obviously it's absolutely no problem for you to nail exposure [...] but dont treat everybody
