Last night I saw this movie. I think is an excellent movie. I didn’t like the shot when one of the planes takes off. It’s a CG shot and the camera is panning around in a complete circle when the plane is taking of. it is a kind of unrealistic camera moving so you notice that is CG easily. In some movies the camera is moved in the CG in a way that you never do with a real camera. For Example in The Return of The King the camera is following a cannonball.
What do you think guys? Is better to keep a kind of realistic camera movement or just move the camera in imposible ways because the technology permit us to do it?well, how do you define reality?
if a camera is the substitude for the spactaors eyes, than any movement outside the ability of human movement is artifical.
in the early days of movie making, the camera was fixed on a tripod.
so, the introduction of the first tracking shot must be quite overwhelming.
today, we have cameras hanging and moving on cables. you can move a real camera from ground level to 50 meters above, all in one shot. how realistic is that. i could make the same shot fully digital. would it make now a more cg-ish shot? if i go way further up, say 100, 200 or 300 meters. I could do it real, but cost would be forbidden. i can do it digital and keep my budget down. but in this case, i have to live with it, that this move is thought of as cg-ish. i think, you already see, where i’m heading.
in closing, camera moves serves a certain purpose. that is to evoke a certain feeling or emotion. and in this sense, i don’t care, how this was achieved.just my 2 cents.
