I got the wrong impression from it. It was only when I needed a film for the number 24 that I gave it a try and got a pleasant surprise. It's also why I used the British cover for this post, rather than the one I had been put off by.<br /><br />Shakycam does the exact opposite of that for me. It doesn't make me feel like I'm there; it reminds me there's a cameraman standing there trying to keep the actors framed in it while they play a scene. It completely removes me from the world of the film and reminds me that what I am watching is fake. <br /><br />Besides, we're biologically programmed to not notice the motion of our own heads when we do things like walk or dance. Try it. Look at an object across the room. Now get up, walk around, jump up and down - all while continuing to look at the object. It stays still, even though our heads are moving. A moving camera crosses up this biological hardwiring because our heads are not moving, but the frame is.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-26851510414386027282012-03-29T21:57:25.874-04:002012-03-29T21:57:25.874-04:00I actually liked the shaky cam stuff because it pl...I actually liked the shaky cam stuff because it played to a style of cinema verite that I was engaged by. It was as if I was in the party. I didn't like the U.S. DVD cover they put out. It's a total misrepresentation of that period.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
