Irascian - "quick zoom in, focus and wobble, then zoom in even more and refocus"
That one cracks me up - The real tension in a piece of documentary footage stems priamrily imho not from the often inevitrable wobbly cam / zoom / focus but from bigger thigs like the narrative, the subject matter and subjects.
Atttempting to recreate this tension often just does not work, when it does work it is good but I think to pull it off well is much more complex than random wobble / zoom / focus.
I felt a complete whore doing this little bit of work. http://www.zaskarfilms.com/Films/Tem...ailerpromo.wmv
It was for mtv, looking for yufff presenters -hence my whoring.
