Commodity Fingerprint — The Lens

Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.

The site avoids most commodity fingerprints through its unique The Cooke Look positioning. While it uses some industry jargon like cinematic storytelling, it defines these through technical metadata protocols (/i Technology). Boilerplate sections like About Us are replaced with a forensic history of lens design, making the content impossible to copy-paste onto a competitor’s site without immediate detection of fraud.

Commodity Fingerprint is read from the page structure first: templated copy tends to repeat the same heading patterns and shapes seen across an industry. Below is the heading hierarchy captured, then the known cliché patterns for this industry to weigh it against.

H4 “We guarantee Cooke lenses to be equal to the best of the more complex anastigmats and are glad at any time to facilitate comparison.”
H4 “At the beginning [of my career] I was expressing myself only through light and shadows,” the maestro says. “After Apocalypse Now I discovered what was inside: Colour. My clear concept was to achieve balance between these elements of light, shadow and colour. That was my search for equilibrium.”
H4 “When you’re working with Stanley there is always a different outlook; a different idea,” said the film’s director of photography John Alcott BSC. “Is there any way we can do it differently? Is there any way we can make it much better than it was before?”
H4 “I had the idea to experiment with Super 16mm because it has an intrinsically bigger depth-of-field, and find a way to enhance the image quality of the 35mm blow-up reproduction,” Clarke says. “From the selection of the sharpest lenses with optimal exposure, to the way we handled the blow-up, it had to be done very carefully. The objective was that anyone who saw the finished film wouldn’t know it wasn’t 35mm origination. It worked perfectly.”
H4 “The beauty of Louisiana is a counterpoint to the horrors of what was being perpetuated there,” Bobbitt says.
H4 “I’m humbled to accept the award on behalf of all the talented people currently working at Cooke as well as the thousands that have gone before,” he said. “Cooke has been an innovative force in this industry from the birth of motion pictures to the digital film revolution.” 
H4 “It’s an anamorphic that lets you get up close to the actors just like a spherical. I didn’t have to be 3-feet away, but one foot away, giving A Star Is Born its most dramatic shots. It’s a spectacular lens.”
H4 “Recently, cinematographers were telling me that images produced by digital cameras mostly looked the same, especially with spherical lenses which they often described as ‘clinical and sterile’,” he says.
