Adapter psychology

[Postmaster]

Is it just me, or does "Snorkel down" on the flip units look somehow "impotent" ?

Don´t get me wrong, it`s not a "macho" attitude, but thinking how our equipment is perceived by customers, actors and others.

I think it looks much more powerfull with "snorkel up" and a big bad mattebox with giant flaps.

Is it just a tipical male thing to prefer "big errect extensions"?
I mean is evolution affecting us that much or am I just nuts?

Frank,

Thanks for cheering me up on a rather blustery day! Hahahahahahaha!!!

Hmmm. Actually I find the snorkle up position to look awkward and alien like it's desperately trying to compensate for some other inadiquicy.

Snorkle down: bold and powerfull, "heavy package".

Is it a problem if my snorkle always seems to be a little to the left?

note: snorkle alignment can affect performance.

 

[cinebuddy]

Even if the snorkels alignment is off to the left as long as its stiff it should function fine.

Somehow I think "rigid" would've sounded a TINY bit classier.

I was worried about my setup looking funny, so I transformed it from this:

I have adapter envy.

 

[cinebuddy]

Its not the size of the adapter that matters. Some DP's like them small.

If the client is female, probably they will be feeling interested.

But if the client is male, probably they will be feeling intimidated and threatened by your superior Snorkel-ness.

Snorkel vs. Snorkel, that's the male way.

Intimidated?
