I'll just say this...
Citizen Kane was shot with a very deep depth of field where just about everything was in focus.
If you feel a blurry background or ProRes limits your potential for creative storytelling, you probably were never reaching that potential.
It's a toy.
If you think a movie being "cinematic" has anything to do with a shallow DOF, slow-mo, LUTs, etc - you've been lied to. That's marketing. For YouTuber 576's LUT pack, for the new mirrorless/DSLR, for the new iPhone.
That misses everything that makes a film a film, and "cinematic"

Wellp, Portrait Mode background blurring for video, and assurance that we'll never hear the end of "cinematic" on YouTube. Everything is bad. The demo even looks bad.
Time to be sad. #AppleEvent
I really don't know how anyone sits through these events. Even as my catalog of owned Apple devices grows, the events just feel like masturbatory fluff presentations w/ one bit of real information every 10 minutes, moving as slow as possible
& no rewind/pause on YT is dumb choice

Let's talk about music licensing again for a brief thread:
Something that is often expressed by streamers about licensing radio-tier music is "just let me pay to license it like royalty-free stuff."
You probably could if you hunted the right avenues enough. You couldn't afford it
Your $15/mo (or whatever you deem reasonable) is the H of a H2O molecule on a drop in the bucket for music labels and publishers. A single indie movie you never see will earn them exponentially more.
