Do you think wide angle and fish eye lenses are played out in films?

It's a nice effect, they're used a lot because it's the only way to get a great shot somtimes. A lot of the time a regular lens makes for a more home-video look.

I like fish's and wides, though I find myself shooting more and more long lens stuff for depth of field and focal length reasons.

Nothing's ever played out though if you use it correctly and throw in some creativity. There are a million different ways to shoot everything...

i bought a wide angle last season and we used it alot for filming, although you can't zoom at all or it out of focus, but it is a huge improvement on the quality of filming. we shot with two cameras on with for close ups and follows and one from a distance for an overall shot. and for alot of tripod fading effects. you can get a whole shot with out moving the camera and fade the skier in and out of the frame. looks really good on film. i will post an example in the videos under steve shelby video1-4.

The fisheye is great for close up for rails, but if you are shooting anyone who is a way in the air, I think you loose out on a lot of detail. A fisheye by cinematic definition is a lens that is 3mm or wider. The wide angle lenses used on most film cameras used for the big companies is either a 5.9mm or a 5.7mm, so even though it does distort the shot and make it look all dope, it's not quite as wild as the fisheye lens atachments for a digi. I shot some stuff on a GL3 with a fisheye this winter in aspen for the PBP jibfest and the rails came out super dope looking, but on the jumps the skiers seemed to look like a little dot in a big sky. But thats just my opinion... of course I could be wrong

you definately need a wideangle or fisheye for some stuff, like if you wanna get a shot from below on a table or somethin like that
