You have no idea how helpful this is. When I render fan art in Blender, I try my best to frame my renders cinematically and even then, I feel like I could be doing WAY better.

3:31 and the sensorsize is also very important. a 50 mm lens on an imax cam looks way different than on a black magic mft mount for example. the 50 mm on a bigger sensor look like a "normal" lens while on the mft cam look very telephotolens like.

Quick question - is the rule of thirds counter to balanced framing? Because it seems in balanced frames, the subject is always in the middle, which would go against the rule of thirds, yes?
