Then they better not use those new HD cameras.. Better not see them use a RED, or help shoot the next 3D feature in an all digital medium...

If they do, we can call them "videographers".... Right?

To pose a counter-point .. if you're calling yourself a wedding cinematographer, then you're not comparing what you do to what Emmanuel Lubezki does. Kind of like calling yourself a personal accountant doesn't mean you do what a corporate accountant does.

Both require certification - a better comparison might be "bookkeeper and CGA"

Perhaps all that is needed is a few adjectives to clear things up. For example:

Wedding cinematographer

Event cinematographer

Documentary cinematographer

etc.

Travis Cossel January 26th, 2010 07:52 PM
Fair enough. I think you get my point. A wedding cinematographer isn't necessarily the same thing as a movie cinematographer.

No argument from me at all.
