At least Paul Greengrass stopped the shaky cam.
This didn't feel like one of his movies.
shareMy film production professor felt strongly that shaky cam is lazy filmmaking. That struck a chord with me, and with movies using so much shaky cam since then, it's been like the visual equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.
shareWhat's your professor's credentials?
shareMany years in television production including senior roles, and he finally went for the PhD and became a professor. Yes film and television are different beasts, but aesthetic concepts still apply either way.
share"What's you professor's credentials?"
As if someone has to have "credentials" to recognize that shaky cam is an irritating technique to create a fake sense of excitement. Credentialism is the dolt's crutch.
I get it. It's "fake" action. The action isn't happening on screen, just in the camera. I do like his Bourne movies though.
