Photography Dizzyness

With all the Disaster Zone movies, there is one thing about them I can't stand. That is that the photography sucks! The camera goes around and about, zoom in zoom out like the man behind the camera is high on crack! It drives me nuts! If they think this is a new art form of photography they are sadly mistaken. It looks like a cheap flusey drunk idiotic effect in filmmaking.

I especially don't like the fast paste camera movements in spots throughout that you see in Dog Soldiers, even though the movie is a masterpiece. The other kind of camera effect that I dispiese is the slow strobe effects when like two people are fighting. I'll give you one example, in the new movie King Kong is where the tribe attack the film crew.

In reference to these talentless hacks they put behind the camera today that feel the need to film their movies like "cool" music videos for MTV, I think the term "Photography Dizzyness" is far more appropriate.

OK, so what's the speed of dark?

well you may have a point. i'm sick of 30 second scenes..i liked it when the old movies had scenes bordering the 5 10 and even 15 minute mark.where they actually gave you information instead of leaving you to figure it out yourself

The cinematography in this film is absolute genius compared to "10.5 Apocalypse."
