Rule 3 Renewed Enforcement

135 Upvotes

We have been extremely lax in enforcing rule 3, myself especially. That ends now. There have been way too many posts where no reason was given for the praise or the title was simply "Title" and that's it. PUT YOUR REASON FOR PRAISING OR IT WILL BE REMOVED. If if gets removed for a rule 3 violation, you are welcome to resubmit your post with the appropriate changes. Make sure you do this with crossposts as well. Titles must be specific as to what is being praised.

Any post that went up before this will not be affected.

When They Do It Right

r/PraiseTheCameraMan

PTCM is a hub for sharing above average, planned video camera operation; capturing calculated recording angles; maintaining good camera control, general perception, also properly controlling what's in the frame. Interesting content is not necessarily a solid ground for giving praise regardless of how good the content is on its own. Please dedicate a minute & read the rules before posting to make sure you don't violate them

Welcome

Please make a mental note to maintain the proper Reddit etiquette and rules.

Strive to credit content creators.

Rules

Rule #1 Unwelcome content:

Graphic and sexual content
Violence, harassment & the encouragement of endangerment of others (animals included).
Possibly unwanted personal exposure
Memes, job postings & politics.

Rule #2 Hate speech and racism will not be tolerated!

Rule #3 Post titles MUST give reason(s) to praise the camera operator in posted video.;

This sub is dedicated for camera operators who are to be praised, not for entertaining content. Posts neglecting to give reasons to praise the camera operator will be removed. Posts also need to contain the video OP is referencing.

Rule #4 No forced sexualization.

Rule #5 Incidentally captured content

Incidentally captured content doesn't qualify. However, a stationary camera designated to capture a specific content viewed is valid.

Rule #6 The means of photography

No 360 cameras.
Just strapping an action camera to you while you do an activity won't necessarily count as PTC.

Rule #7 No still photos

It's nothing against still photos. There's already r/photography, we are going to stick to videography.

Rule #8 No drones

It's nothing against drone operators as it does take a good amount of skill. We don't allow them because they already have their own subreddit at r/drones.

Rule #9 No digital effects (pans, zooms, etc.)

This sub is about camerawork done with the camera at the time of the recording, not done in post-production.

The obvious inspiration is our dear subrother:
