The Shape of Water won best picture for a reason. Lighting and color are everything when it comes to visual storytelling.

2:58 - kind of a wrong explanation of choosing LF over S35 formats, I'd rewrite that if I were you. The image quality and positive quirks and features of the available or chosen lenses for the project on one hand and camera's dynamic range and the in-camera features available on the other are the main points of choosing an LF over an S35 camera.
I've been working on several commercials and feature films with the LF and others in the past 4-5 years, so I'm not completely talking out of my S.
Video looks cute tho.
