[Charlie Austin] “. So… similar to plugins in how they work with other apps, but not the same…”
Magic Bullet Looks is a plugin that’s also its own app. So is Tiffen DFX.

[Michael Phillips] “”An extension could contain a plugin, but a plugin can’t contain an extension””
That’s a lot of verbiage to simply express that an extension is merely a sandboxed plugin.

[David Roth Weiss] “That sounds like a plugin, are they the same, or is there a difference?
“I don’t think there’s anything that actually differentiates a plugin from an extension. It’s just terminology.

[Jason Roberts] “Your assumption, based on one post which I talked about Deakins in a particular way and the statements you made based on my (admitted) ranting on a bad day, are both specious and unfounded.”
I went back and re-read your post and my opinion still stands. The attitude that it represents is one that grates on me (you having a “bad day” notwithstanding) and frankly, as a DP, having someone say to me:
Roger Deakins never shoots anamorphic and basically uses only three lenses (32, 40 & 50 – that’s by his own admission on his discussion board) shooting on standard 35mm film
would instantly make me discount their opinion on further matters. That you actually expressed this verbally to the DP blows my mind.
[Jason Roberts] “you know nothing of me, my background or training”
But what you say and how you have chosen to express what I have picked up specifically indicates that you’ve watched some interviews and read a lot, but have no practical experience outside of knowing some technical stuff and what other DPs do on a superficial level.
[Jason Roberts] “Sir, you owe me an apology for your first statement.”
Get over yourself.
[Jason Roberts] “someone like him is a master, I consider one of the best working today, and should be studied.”
He’s just the fad name (not that he isn’t good at what he does), and it’s telling that out of all the names you’ve dropped, his is the only actual DP name, and the only DP you’ve named out of referencing anyone in your last post. Frankly, I find Dariusz Wolski to be better, given what he’s done with the Red Epic MX in Prometheus (one of the best looking live-action 3D films I have seen to date), Emmanuel Lubezki with Tree of Life (that everyone agreed was a tremendous cinematography reel even if they didn’t like it as a movie), and Hoyte Hoytema replacing Deakins on Spectre (after amazing work on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Her, and Intersteller)
What if Spectre looks even better than Skyfall? It could.

You cannot “remove” the black bars. You can crop the video however.

[Jason Roberts] “And the DP – I kid you not – actually said, “Who’s Roger Deakins?” I almost cried. “
Considering that’s the only DP you probably know about (in a pool that includes many talented ones), I don’t think that’s something you can really hold against him.
[Jason Roberts] ” I also pointed out that Roger Deakins never shoots anamorphic and basically uses only three lenses (32, 40 & 50 – that’s by his own admission on his discussion board) shooting on standard 35mm film, and so all his films are matted in post (and most would consider him the best cinematographer working today “
And it would be a very blah world if everyone tried to emulate Deakins. I bet even Deakins doesn’t always emulate himself.

[Jim Wiseman] “Adobe: Love the software, dislike the business model. Does not work for me. YMMV. Thought I made that clear.”
You always do…after making a not so subtle bash against people who are fine with the model.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Your email doesn’t look like this:?”
It does, and I don’t think it looks like Comic Sans.

[David Lawrence] “What if Apple’s endgame for video looks like what they did with photography? What if the next step is a unification of iMovie and FCPX into a new app called “Movies” or “videos”?”
They’ll definitely call it “Movies”. 😀

[Daniel Schultz] “Does anyone know the best way to reach quality DPs for potential hire?”
Where are you located, Daniel?
