SMM mirror box

These narrow and vertical aspect ratios kill me(I hate them as a viewer). And they finally caught-up to me, as a shooter. Went in to shoot for a client a few days ago at their place with their gear. Relatively straightforward: b-roll, scenics and follow an individual. The gear was waiting on me when I arrived. Original C300, 24-70 and 70-200. Ok. Nothing I can do about the glass. The 24-70 will be ok, or so I thought. Then the producers show up and say, "Oh yeah, besides for the archive & doc use, this is being used for social in 1:1 and is the priority." And besides not being able to make custom aspect markers on that camera, we then proceed to go outside and they say they want "wide scenic shots". And I'm shooting with a 24mm on s35... That is essentially being "center punched"...

I've been harping on this point for a while. Like - I shoot these 9:16 IGTV gallery walkthroughs (luckily that is the only aspect ratio for those,but I do plenty of stuff that needs to be widescreen, square, and vertical)

And the client is like - do we have to see so much of the ceiling and floor?

everything we want to see is in the horizontal plane: artworks hung side by side on the walls. So, my 12-24 is super useful because at 12mm I get a proper wide-angle frame width in 9:16

For the CUs though it's not a problem
