Great camera work, I have an idea to make it even better!!!


My 11 year old nephew is avail to operate camera.
*He has 0 years of experience.
*He has the ability to move his hands up,down, left,and right regardless of what talent is doing, or what the blocking is.
*Will listen to commands like "Christopher, I see what you are doing there, trying to create fluidity in this scene, but, shake it up a little more, right, just like on MTV's The Real World"

LOL... I also found the camera work irritating.

...Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he doesn't become a monster...

Couldn't agree more. This sort of nonsense is really Mrs Sean's cup of tea - portmanteau disaster. I don't mind them as long as the effects are decent (they aren't bad), but the thing is rendered ridiculously unwatchable as soon as you notice the "focus on a face then immediately zoom in or out a bit" method that accompanies every scene. Once thats pointed out you can't watch for more than 20 seconds without laughing it.

This is a technique used to excellent effect in the likes of Battlestar Galactica where it's done with a comparatively light touch in appropriate scenes. Here it's just bloody awful.

20 seconds is even hard to take ,,,, seems like they did it in EVERY scene. Unwatchable!!!
