What is it with this, "it'll be more excitting, more realistic, if we never give you a single goddamn steady shot"?! I tried to watch those really crappy mega disaster movies "10.5" and "10.5 Apocalypse". The makers of these films thought that if they jiggled the camera enough you might find the store compelling rather than just a bad patchwork of every other bad disaster movie ever made. I wanted to waste time. I wanted to see if it could get any stupider. But I just could not take watching a movie that looked like the entire cinematography staff suffered from a rare combination of parkinsons and epilepsy.
The only show that I have ever seen that has used the camera shake and slide zoom effectively is Battlestar Galactica. The show has always been watchable, yet the producers still think that they overdid it originally so they have toned it down over the last two seasons. I guess along with very few poeple noticing the excellance of their writing and acting, few are taking notes on the other leasons learned.
As for the latest Signature Greg Lynch - Ninja Prop Maker - film, I will probably go see Cloverfield. I appreciate the seating advice.
