It all started with Cannibal Holocaust from 1979. A film crew go missing in the jungle making a documentary about cannibals. The first half of the movie is a guy going in to find the footage. The second half is them watching the footage.

It's good when its used properly (like to indicate someone watching, or like when something secretive is happening) but when it's just used willy nilly it's dumb

Oh damn I forgot about Cannibal Holocaust. Man, that film was waaay before its time. Still the most shocking film I've seen even to this day - which speaks volumes considering its 30 years old.

It can be used incredibly well in certain situations, but very poorly in others. I find that the latter is mostly a case where shaky camera movements were entirely unnecessary.
A good example is the Battlestar Galactica episode "The Captain's Hand." The episode is very tense, stressful, and filled with action that is not in the good guys favor. The Battlestar is being pounded by tactical nukes from multiple enemy warships over and over. Shaky cam makes sense and benefits the overall intensity of the situation incredibly well. However, it took them a while to really nail the use of this technique. For much of the series prior to this episode, shaky cam had been employed in scenes where it just became excessively frustrating, primarily because it made no sense. |

Watched The Bourne Ultimatum last night. It's full of shakey cam. Very effective with car crashes/chases, but not so good with fighting.

My point, entirely, It works with some scenes but to just use it for the whole film is pointless, lazy and stupid.
