Comment on Is shallow depth of field getting used to death? by Paul

I’d add that Michael Mann has done a lot in his recent work to demonstrate how long depth of field can have a very rich look. This is ironic because — I know this sounds silly, but — his pioneering show Miami Vice might be more responsible than anything for playing with shallow depth of field in a way that television audiences had never seen before (along with cinematic tracking shots and other techniques that had never been applied to network television programming).

The aperture ring is a creative tool, and it’s nice to be able to use it at both ends as needed. It’s true that for now, it feels like you can spot dslr footage almost instantly. But in some cases it’s because the colors looks so vibrant through the quality glass, as much as it is shallow depth. Hopefully we won’t arrive in a world where just because something looks awesome, it’s considered passe because it’s affordable.

Comment on Mixing fiction and fact in ‘quasi-documentaries’ by KateC

Wil Stillman, in Metropolitan, wove his actors into actual partygoers, in much the same way as did Easy Rider. I’m not so worried about the documentary portions of fictional films, as I am about fiction in docs. Like Catfish and now The Edge of Dreams–both purport to be true, but who can really say what is and what’s not?

Methinks Sony really needs to figure out this Alpha-mount versus E-mount lens thing…
