Ok, my take on Quantum Of Solace and how the film producers could save a fortune next time. Apart from all the moans and groans about how the screenplay kinda changed the personality and character of Bond films, one of the worst things about it is camera shake. As there’s exciting action taking place, including stunts which must have cost a fortune to set-up and film, what do they do? Well, in the edit they do extremely fast cutting so that it’s hard to fathom what’s going on. For those that might be able to suss it, they then introduce a ‘camera shake’ to make it even harder to see anything. Result: The action scenes are probably ok, but nobody can actually see what the heck is going on.
Ok, if this is the way forward, why bother spending a fortune on the stunts? Just film random things like sock puppets, shake the camera so violently that nobody can see anything, and pretend something brilliant happened. We won’t know any different.
