Skilled cinematographers know how to use hand-held cameras to enhance drama, while others often use them to disguise a low budget and/or a weak script. In Children of Men there is a camera in a gyroscope that places us in the backseat of an auto under attack. Very impressive. Boy did I want out of that car!
Turn off the TV and rest, Sedine. Sam’s got the clean up covered.
Forgot to mention how seeing the back of their TV always makes me smile – It’s the “In Security” version of Charlie Brown and Linus leaning atop that low brick wall …
Funny how you can use technology to figure out when a cartoon was drawn. Like those old cartoons, with the giant radio, no tv, and lath under the plaster on the walls. Oh and the telephone you had to ring crank to get the operator.
Hand held camera work gives a documentary feel to things like in “Dr. Strangelove” where the attack on the base looks so real. And then there is the wobbly came which I do HATE it is either dizzying or just drunken. Despise it and those who created it and all others who use it.

They’re back to their original weight, for a while I thought they were going to stay looking like “Hansel and Gretel the later years”.

Years ago, a friend and I went to see Woody Allen’s “Manhattan Murder Mystery” and were similarly afflicted.

Quite agree. Every time I turn one of those shows on, I want to shout, “Hold that camera steady, dude!”
