Reply to comment by redbullrebel in Strong background BLUR in movies and TV series, who else gets annoyed by it? by redbullrebel

You’re complaining about an important storytelling tool that has been in near ubiquitous use for over a hundred years.

that is a very bad point. if we would have cars driving on 4 wheels that are square and suddenly someone comes around with round wheels. everybody would think fuck why did we drive 100 years on square wheels. round wheels are so much better. same case with extensive use of blur.

a good director does not need shaky cam or extensive blur to get his point around.

that is why James Cameron is so important. he shows us what is possible if taken the time and commitment. he does not need cheap tricks like extensive motion blur or shaky cam. he is like the tom brady, gretzky, messi, tiger woods of movie making. he is so far ahead of everyone else. and every time i think does no one else understand it? it is not just the special effects, it is the way how he shoots his movies.

Would that be the Jim Cameron who has used all of these techniques to great effect?

It’s a bizarre take really. I’d like to know your credits for you to be claiming that Cameron is the only good director. I have to assume this is a troll because it shows a stunning lack of literacy in film and television language which undercuts the sheer confidence in their opinions as fact.

ever heard of evolution? that is what james cameron does. he improve himself constantly. sure he used blur before like in some scenes of terminator 2 for example. but he keeps improving himself, going to the next level where everybody else just stays in the past or worse goes even further behind.

just tell me how much blur or shaky cam is there in avatar 1 and 2?
