“Go back 10-15 years and most film schools relied heavily on still cameras for training.”
That’s interesting. I can see where still cameras would come into play as there functionality and mechanics are naturally similar to video and film cameras;shutter speed, f/stops, aperture and such. And I agree now, that still image photography and videography are two totally different skill sets each with there own unique subtleties and feeling.
However, as video cameras develop will there be a new oppurtunity to learn the craft of shooting a certain way, in order to grab the right frames in post, to create a portfolio of photographs? An entirely new skill set that combines both arts?
