Q: What is the Trumbull effect?
A: I haven't found a "Trumbull effect", but maybe you should refer to Douglas Trumbull, "a pioneer of the optical and digital effects industry." Paulo Oliveira 14:26, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Direction for article
This article is far too important to be left like it is. The text needs a bit more coherence and also some images are necessary. For the "See also" list I think we should opt with lists instead of individual topics (for example, instead of "video format", "video stock", etc. we can use "list of video-related topics").

About the edit Paulo Oliveira 14:26, 11 May 2005 (UTC):
- I created the section Cinematographer and moved the respective information to it.
- I changed the order of the information but deleted nothing (I still feel it is a bit incoherent/incomplete, but it is the best I can do for now).
- American Society of Cinematographers and British Society of Cinematographers are present in List of societies of cinematographers. I took them out of "See also".
- Camera is in the article. I took it out of "See also".
- Camera operator and Director of photography are in Film crew. I took them out of "See also".
- Center for Cinematography doesn't (didn't?) have a link. I took it out of "See also".
- Film stock is in the article. I took it out of "See also".
- Film technique and Forced Perspective is included in List of film techniques. I took it out of "See also".
- Video and Video assist are in List of video-related topics. I took them out of "See also".
- Who is Joe Jennings? He is no reference in the field of cinematography... that I'm aware of!
Don't Agree with merger of Cinematographer and Cinematography
There is a lot to be said just about cinematographers, their history, notoriety etc, that should be seperate from a page about cinematography. One is on people...a carreer, the other is a branch of photography. Many cinematographers have pages of their own that should link to cinematographer. --Plowboylifestyle 19:42, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
- The natural tendency is to want to discuss the issues of "what a cinematographer does" and "what is cinematography" in the same breath. This article should be almost entirely about the career discipline and not go at all deeply into the "science"—issues like focus, aperture, shutter speed, etc. deserve their own fairly lengthy articles...to be shared with other photographic disciplines. A redirect would continue to allow people to link to cinematographer independently, so that if enough material ever truly comes along to justify a separate article, it could be split again with no harm done...I just don't think that day is coming any time soon.

I agree with Plowboylifestile, even if cinematographer does need a little cleanup. The page is quite lengthy even without that long list of people. There is enough information for the cinematographer article and the cinematography article to be separate. Thelb4 08:15, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
