The Demise of The Tripod
It seems as though the tripod is being used less and less in contemporary film. I’m sure you could create a list to defend the argument that they are still prevalent, it partly depends on which genre or group of films you wan to look at. Without embarking on research and statistic crunching I will propose that at least in the world of medium budget and independent film the tripod is fading. I’m thinking of films like Fish Tank, The Florida Project, George Washington, Moonlight, Eighth Grade, We the Animals and Alamar.
