Unfortunately. This just further proves my theory that humankind is general are just a bunch of morons. What is so great about unprofessional-style camera movements paired with "actors" hamming it up despite their own lack of ability to act in any style?
The shakey cam is a bane to movies, because for one thing, no camera crew on earth operates like they do in all the films where the style is used. I once saw a camera crew conduct an interview, like the ones they try ro do in the films.
Real Life: Just point the camera at the face of the bastard you're trying to interview and keep it still.
Shakey Cam Movies: Point the camera anywhere but the face of the person they're interviewing. Even leaving the lense facing the guy's crotch will do (as see done in Guarantine when they were talking with the hillbilly).
I'm an unprofessional as it comes when it comes using a camera for practical use. So my method of pointing a camera at a person being interviewed? Set the camera of a frikkin tri-pod and point it at the guy, who I have sit in a chair centered in the shot. And guess what, my camera works are better than anything seen in Blair Witch or Guarantine. The only film to have an excuse for that kind of camera movement was Cloverfield, and that was because the person filming wasn't a film student or professional TV show crew member. He was some guy shotting a video at the party of one of his friends with a handy-cam.
People, stop going to films that use this camera style and stop buying them on DVDs. You'll be helping the film business by making a statement: "Film that use standard and professional camera work are better (and actual actors)." And they are.
