	'''Cameras''' are one of the most ubiquitous and defining inventions of the ~~last three centuries~~, allowing folks around the world to document their lives and create [[art]] without ever touching a brush.

'''Cameras''' are one of the most ubiquitous and defining inventions of the 1800s through today, allowing folks around the world to document their lives and create [[art]] without ever touching a brush. One of those folks is [[Chris]], who has been on both sides of the camera from an early age.

	Chris's approach to ~~the camera~~ is all kinds of abysmal, whether we're talking about still photography or video work. Despite years and years of constant and obviously enthusiastic photography and home video making, Chris hasn't learned anything beyond the basics of this craft. In fact, the way he still routinely fucks up things proves that he is handling cameras far ''worse'' than your average Joe with an iPhone...and as we've seen from [[12 October 2009\|what Chris has done]] to his camera, "bad camera handling" can be interpreted in more than one way.

	Chris's video production efforts have been hindered by the fact that, despite [[Christian Weston Chandler...Yep, I'm on TV :)\|years of practice]], he doesn't know anything about cinematography. He's oblivious to several bits of common sense, like "if you want to see anything at all, light the scene properly." Chris goes as far as to [[Brutal Legend\|never even check his videos]] before uploading them, nor does he [[Live Drawing Streams\|check his recording equipment]] before filming.

Chris goes as far as to [[Brutal Legend\|never even check his videos]] before uploading them, nor does he [[Live Drawing Streams\|check his recording equipment]] before filming.

	Note that not every failure in Chris's cinematography can be attributed solely to Chris; it's obvious that in some cases where he's in front of the camera he has gotten help that goes beyond merely using a camera timer or doing heavy-handed editing. Yet, he still fancies that he's in creative control ~~of the situation~~, which ~~just~~ proves that he just doesn't see any mistakes in his pet projects no matter how obvious ~~they are~~. If you end up as [[Mailbag 43#...Well, this is disturbing!\|Great Director Chandler]]'s cameraman, he won't complain about your lack of talent (nor compliment you if you outdo him), unless you fail to draw Rosechu's tail correctly.

	His first known camera was a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixgsYAfZ8eo Tyco VideoCam]. It filmed black-and-white VHS footage, and it was not a camcorder – you needed to plug it into a VCR. Chris used this camera for [[Song of Christian]], his earliest known self-recorded video. The low-quality footage (even for its time) shows as half of Chris's face is black throughout the clip.

	Chris assumes that if he can see the lens, then everything can be seen by the lens. He has no idea what it means to be in the focus of a shot, and is constantly standing way out of center, or putting stuff so close to the camera you can't even tell what you're looking at. A shining example is [[ToJackie\|a video to Jackie]] in which he "swore on the Bible," yet the poor framing makes it impossible to tell whether the object he holds is actually a Bible ~~or not~~. When handling the camerawork directly, Chris often attempts to experiment with the camera's positioning without properly considering what his audience will see, and as such we are on the receiving end of [[Videobooks\|many]] [[Sonichu's Edge\|masterpieces]]. Additionally, his lack of proper equipment or controlled co-ordination tends to [[Obesity\|weigh down]] such endeavors with constant shaking, or disorienting angles, especially in [[Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap Showdown\|videos]] [[Don't Mess With Me\|where]] [[Bunny Hop\|he]] [[100 2278\|moves]] [[CWC Fighter\|around]].

	In some of his more recent videos, such as [[Doxing Jeff/Francine]] from [[November 2015]], Chris has taken to using the image stabilization feature on his iPhone to help steady his shaky-handed recordings. The result is a wobbly image against a mostly black background when the videos are put up on YouTube, which doesn't make things any much better.

	==Focus==		==Focus==
	Chris relies extensively on autofocus. Autofocus usually works with a slight delay and it usually can't focus on subjects that are too close to the camera.

	Most of Chris's [[YouTube]] videos have been lit completely wrong. Plainly put, if you're making videos indoors, ''you've got to turn the room lights on!'' Human brains can automatically adjust to different color temperatures, but film and video cameras either lack the automata to handle this, or are constantly struggling in bad lighting conditions to figure out what's going on. Chris assumes that if there's enough natural light coming in for him to see anything at all, then the video is lit properly. As a result, many of Chris's indoor video shots have a distinct, disgusting yellow tint that make it look like it was shot in a jar filled with pee (indeed, many have compared Chris's videos to that of [[wikipedia:Piss Christ\|Piss Christ]]). Of course, it also doesn't help that he has never heard of [[wikipedia:Color balance\|white balance]]. This is somewhat subverted with his videos shot on his [[iDea Book Case\|iPhone]] and his PlayStation Camera, but other factors hamper down whatever merit he gets out of it.

	Chris also commits a common novice mistake in thinking that camera flash completely negates the need for proper lighting (a [[naïve]] view of "if it's day, everything is OK, but if it's night or you're indoors, then just use the flash"). In fact, flash will highlight the front of the scene, but it can also overexpose the shot if the subject is too close to the camera. ~~If the background is~~ unlit, ~~it adds a very big contrast~~ and stark shadows. Again, some photographers use this as an artistic effect (especially for dramatic shots), but Chris's sloppy approach doesn't add anything to the image.

	Unlike color photography, black-and-white film and prints are easy to develop without complicated processes and overly expensive chemicals, so letting kids develop their own photos in school makes sense. However, failure is never too far away; Chris's report is almost a complete collection of common black-and-white photo development newbie mistakes. Most prints are over or underexposed, resulting in an overly dark or overly light print. Some have edges or corners underexposed, and one even has an underexposed band going through the image, which means that someone in the darkroom didn't quite grasp the idea of "not putting anything between the enlarger's head and the paper while the print is exposed". Some have smudges and fingerprints in resulting prints, owing to handling photographic paper with wet or dirty hands before putting it in an enlarger. One has visible dust, for the same reason.
