The Quickest Way to Lose My Respect...

... is when people do this:

Discuss...

 

[Bob Gundu]

Oh Oh... I was just getting to know you....

 

[Jonathan Stevenson]

ACCEPTABLE: (note the ample distance between the hands, thus reducing overall douchebaggery)

 

[Bob Gundu]

phewww......

 

[Nils J. Nesse]

Sorry, I'm guilty...

 

[BRANDON JAMESON]

GET...A....LIFE.

I've used my hands to frame geometry I want in and out of frame often on scouts to see what problems can be solved in camera. Had a good funny chat on set with an academy award winning DP about "ghost framing" a few years ago. Both coming to the conclusion.... "Whatever it takes."

They make Director's Viewfinders for a similar reason.....

 

[Phil Holland]

Oh. And on that note. There's a useful app called "Artemis" on iPhone and Droid that you can actually save approximate focal lengths and still images for those who enjoy planning their shooting days.

Hand-framing is for those filmmakers that don't know what lens to use or to show the rest of us how to see the world. Although I have seen David Fincher do this a few times, and that dude knows exactly what lens to use.

 

[Bob Gundu]

Framing??? I was just vogue-ing.

 

[Jonathan Stevenson]

Artemis iPhone app? Fine. Director's viewfinder? Great. Fingers? Come on. It's like a foreman holding out his arms and saying "Build it this wide." You look silly. Stop it.

 

[Jake Bastian]

Unless someone is making you do it why waste emotion hating it? Judge the image, not the technique.

 

[Gunleik Groven]

Wow!

Not on Apple App store yet. Seems to be only available through:

I'm on Droid, but the director who put me on to it was an iPhone guy. It's pretty handy. I've used it on a few scouts the last couple months.

[Gunleik Groven]

There are other things that are more effective for losing my respect!

 

[Scott Crawley]

Douchebag is as douchebag does... While the ol' four finger finder isn't grounds enough for me to make a douchebag declaration, it may alert the early warning system in the presence of other factors. A beret or ascot would qualify as contributing factors for sure, and if it isn't cold a scarf counts as an ascot. You have to have genuine ultra-style going on to pull off any of those things. ;-) Ultimately it's all about attitude though.

It's just a way to communicate a complex idea. I never do it, but that's just me.

There's one I downloaded for 23 bucks called Viewfinder CINE. Pretty nice, they have a preset for EPIC, Red One, and Scarlet, 2K, 4K, 5K, 4K HD, etc...2:1 aspect ratio etc.... 4 presets to program different lenses crop factors etc.... The widest you can shoot is 21 mm after that you need to use an adapter.
