That's really about the only video I can find that greatly demonstrates his camera style for his movies. |
I don't know why those locked shots don't do it for me.
Something gives me an uncanny valley type feeling. It might be because when you look at a moving object your eyes track it and the background moves through your field of vision, but for locked shots the moving object becomes stationary.
To me, fast camera movement and the blur that might go with it can add to the feeling of tension in a scene. As long as it's not overdone and becomes tiring to watch, but maybe that's what bothers me.... a clear shot of a moving object that's stationary relative to you as the background goes by in a blur... it's more like looking at the person sitting next to you in a moving car.
