Size matter?

[lhdor]

I am only 5, 4" and I find it hard as a videographer to film sometimes. Anyone else vertically challenge or other challenges?

 

[Everts]

Are you a hobbit by any chance Idhor ?
Actually I had a small accident a few years ago and my right thumb gets stuck sometimes It always suprises me when I need to adjust a tripod.Or sign a check.Usually I have to do it twice .

[Sad Max]

And Alan Ladd.

I am only 5, 4" and I find it hard as a videographer to film sometimes...

In what way?

 

[Postmaster]

Get a bigger matte box to compensate that.

No joke, in my personal experiance there is no single piece of equipment that impresses actors and customers more than a big arse matte box.

Try it out - I dunno why but it works all the time - at least for me.

Just found myself thinking that Jerry Bruckheimer comes up to my chest, but when he walks on to a set...you know he's there.

Maybe it's less about stature, and more about presence.

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

It's not a problem. All actors are midgets anyway. I'm 5' 7" by the way, so I'm like, a giant, compared to Dustin Hoffman.

 

[Sad Max]

Not to mention Tom Cruise.

Or Billy Barty.

 

[Mattykins]

I am 6'2"

Personally I wouldn't mind being a little shorter. I have to watch my head more often. I used to play professional paintball. And the short guys had it easy. The bunkers were 6 foot tall at the most.

But apparently the ladies like height...

 

[Ryan Patrick O'Hara]

With a name like Mattykins: 'Cute member', I wouldn't have pinned you to be 6'2''!

 

[Sad Max]

Somehow, I always suspected.

 

[Mattykins]

Tall people can't be cute?

And to be fair - I noticed the "cute member" thing like a month and a half ago. Haha. Not that I am complaining.

 

[Anhar_Miah]

Tall people can't be cute?

Of course they can..... to people taller than them!


like they always say:

"your only as tall as the person you stand next too"

 

[Sad Max]

Unless that person is taller.

Or shorter.

I'm confused.

 

[Anhar_Miah]

Unless that person is taller.

Or shorter.

I'm confused.

exactly

 

[Sad Max]

It's not nice to mess with the easily-confused.

 

[Batutta]

I'm 6'5", and economy class air travel is pure torture.

 

[Mattykins]

I'm 6'5", and economy class air travel is pure torture.

And I thought I had it rough... I always brace my legs against the chair in front of me and refuse to let the person recline.
