Anybody have an idea about this?...What is the gizmo called where you have TWO squares, cut into mats, and you slide them over each other to determine what height x width of a subject, that you want to focus on...? I can't come up with a name for that technique!! Arrgh...LOL!
Sorry, just saw this comment. I did a quick search for "adjustable view finder" and noticed a couple of options. Didn't find anything with two squares, however found to sliding L-shapes. Might be great to choose your own aspect ratio when developing a composition. Here's a blog link that popped up on a search: www.jacksonsart.com/blog/2014/05/23/new-derwent-drawing-tools-and-cases/
The measurements of the paper are relative, however if you really need something specific, I'd recommend a 4x5 inch sheet of paper with a 2x3 inch hole cut into it. Keep in mind that you want to think about the proportions of the interior hole and how they relate to the image you're illustrating....meaning don't cut a square into a viewfinder and then translate the subject to a rectangular composition. Hope that makes sense. Also, try cutting a pair of L shaped sheets of paper....you can line them up to make rectangular and square compositions of varying sizes with a couple of paper clips. Have fun!
Really helpful, thank you!

istg every viewfinder making video i see the person just totally refuses to include measurements when cutting the rectangle. like why?
