Quicksand Fans

I've seen movies with shots taken from different angles, some of which ended up in the advertising, and different angles were actually presented in the film. I always figured they just used scenes that were shot multiple times with slight differences to see the effect and then it ended up on The cutting room floor. Hard to sue for that.
As I see it, it is akin to me using scrap wood to check an angle, but not using those actual pieces of wood in the finished product because it was just to hone the finish pieces properly.

I can only speak for myself and those I have observed during shoots (but that is about 20 different producers of different kinds). I typically shoot with two video cameras, plus at least one still camera. That means only half of the video footage gets into the final cut. Obviously, half the video has a different angle of view than the other. The still cameras, also obviously, must have a different angle of view from either video camera. And sometimes there might be a second or even a third still camera involved. When I am operating the still camera I normally only shoot during the action, but other photographers will do stills during a break in the action.

There's too few beautiful images in the world as it is.
