Best Shakey Cam Films

Blair Witch

Diary of the Dead

All great films who else likes shakey cam films?

Not really, a method over used in todays film making. I like the Blair Witch Project but mostly because of its story and dialogue, but when that film came out "shakey cam" was rare in films. I guess it depends on what context it's being used. Take Saving Private Ryan's action scenes, they use shakey cam but to give the film the same feel as the documentaries you see on the war. But since that film (which got an oscar for direction) Hollywood thinks the only way to film an action scene is with shakey cam when its not. A good example of miss use of the technique is Quantum Of Solace. It over did it and as a result the action scenes are hard to follow. Cloverfield is another one. It's whole selling point was it was filmed handheld camera style, completely forgot about story or whatever. So no i dont think using shakey cam is always a good thing.

That one Jim made is my favourite.

yeah I forgot that one I should've put it on my list

which would that be?

A Day In The Life, the James Bond one and the Star Wars one they're all classic shakey cam films

Did any of those even shake?

I beg to differ sir

Those are all steady cam films. (though bond has one shakey cam shot)

all top ten are Cloverfield
