I am going to be a camera man for an upcoming movie shoot that I am doing and i have some thoughts and would like some feedback. I don't know if there is a name for this or whatever but when my friends and I were doing a makeup test and camera test I integrated a type of camera "reaction" when our main character was punched. When filmed static it didn't have an impact on the viewer, but just on the character, but when the camera reacted slightly like it was also hit, it seemed to flow better. I've uploaded some clips of it. You have to click on the free button and wait for a 45 second countdown before downloading. Let me know your thoughts on this type of filming... thanks

P.S. Also, it has some cheesy music to go with it i added cuz it was a little boring... haha Oh and it was filmed with the HVX200

Hey man, for future reference, try uploading your files to stickypod.com or some other video hosting site. The site you gave is a ***** to get though.

Downloading now.
 
Give me a sec and i'll compress it as a zip instead of a rar and reupload it so you can see it. Sorry for the complications. I would really appreciate more responses. Thanks. Give me 30 mins...
 
I've seen it a few times-- maybe not as dramatic, though.

It's common for action sequences.

Check Sin City, when Hartigan gets punched in the face the first time after young Nancy's monologue.

It's not so dramatic, but it's there.

Your clip, though, makes good use of it-- even if you were just testing. Coolness. Shows you're treating the camera as an extension of yourself, learning new techniques to deliver meaning visually.

Thanks for sharing.
