A couple of weeks ago I was watching Wong Kar Wai's Days of Being Wild.
It seemed that cinematographer Chris Doyle framed the beginning of each scene with a perfect photographic composition. I was wondering how many members here shoot moving pictures either film or video or even both?

I have worked as a 1st camera assistant and cinematographer in 35mm, 16mm, and in television studios as a camera operator about 10 yrs ago
Decided to stop and stick with shooting stills and drawing, but I love shooting super8 however, my Nizo S560 gets used a fair bit!!!

Hey Steamer...
I'm an HD Cinematographer, shooting documentaries and coming from a wildlife management then wildlife cameraman background.
The aesthetics of photographic composition and style port across well as a foundation for shooting in HD. Though moving pictures are necessarily considerably more complex.
The acid test comes in dynamic situations where you have little or no control over what is going on...while it's easily possible to get some fantastic and artful photos in such situations...documentaries need flow of story so the occasional 'perfect moment' is not good enough. That's the challenge and that's what I love about my job. Taking photos is relaxing by comparison...

I have shot wedding and event stuff on Canon and Panasonic video. Sometimes I shoot video and Super8 on holidays and edit them into little "adventure" movies. It's fun but very time consuming.
Doyle is a fasntastic cinematographer!

I have a mini DV kit (Panasonic DVX100B and associated gear) as well as still cameras and while I prefer shooting stills, there are certainly things for which video is the better medium.
I find shooting moving images more challenging physically and editing video is not as fun as editing stills for me.
