Framing and composition can be taught in schools. It's a skill but not talent, nor quality. What is hard to find is emotion and an original feeling or thought. I really just don't get that with most digital/amateur dslr owners with their 1.4 lens and a copy of photoshop.
Plus DSLR video, is just that, video. Still the same jittery shutter speed video that just looks bad. But people seem to be loving it, and loving these overly processed HDR junk you see everywhere. So I dunno...
A wake up call was a few years back when I scored a 16mm camera for a day, sourced a reel of stock, loaded it up and lugged it out to the forest super early in the morning. Got some footage that I really liked, telecined, and edited it together. Was a good release and was fun. But then hitting vimeo, I mean, so many people were shooting similar shit with absolute ease, at random times, with their dslrs, no thought... it all just meant nothing.
