OK. I declare the era of camera shake over. Seriously.Blair Witch was good and so were a number of films that used the same technique. I get that it provides realism and makes things look quick and dirty, I really do. You know what else it does? Makes me sick. And makes a whole lot of other people sick. So stop it already.

In a more serious light, I wonder at the films that seem to use this “Documentary” style of shooting. Is it possible that they need to use this technique as a crutch? Often it seems to be used as a way of distracting us from the alarming lack of plot or conscious thought.

I think it’s time we moved past this. I’d like to be able to sit in a cinema and watch a whole movie without feeling nauseous if it’s alright with you.
