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.

Commodity Fingerprint Detection of industry clichés/templates.

The commodity fingerprint is low due to the highly specific, patented nature of the products like the ‘Mimik VR’ and ‘Celeb IKON.’ While it uses some industry clichés like ‘stunning visuals’ or ‘creative vision,’ these are secondary to unique value propositions involving ’30 Alpha channels’ and ‘900 frames per second’ capabilities. The site does not feel like a template that could be used by a generic competitor.

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 “Since 1995 I’ve been working with legacy Kino Flo lighting as a director of photography and as a television lighting director, for location and studios. I have been using them ever since in the U.S. and around the globe”
H4 I have grown up with Kino Flo’s over the twenty-five years I’ve been shooting. They are used on some of the films that have influenced me the most, they’ve always been part of my approach. For me, it’s the soft light that has given me the most joy, it feels like I’m painting with a fine brush and a more accurate pigment.”
H4 “Kinos are the perfect tools for what I do. I love how the T44 gives me countless options as a big single soft source with the Flozier in front, or by using the Tubes remotely with a single reflector and a Honeycomb grid to create very sharp modeling light. It’s like having several light sets in one package that let you create many different set-ups and looks.”
