Proof that they can do a decent job without a huge production.
I helped on a small indie film once, a no pay thing for a friend and I enjoyed it.
It was set in a small diner.
Technology has definitely leveled the playing field in terms of production values.
The most I can offer is my 30 mm macro has finally been unboxed and I’m going to test it in a few before I have to trudge out and buy gift cards to stuff stockings and shut people up.
All I want for Christmas sometimes is to be like it was, enjoyable, low stress, not being short tripped to death to every little event, having to listen to every Christmas songs over and over, and everything commercialized to the nth degree.
Here is what the 30mm macro did just slapping the camera on tripod.
The actual mechanical counter will fit in a large hand.
