Line 8: Its popularity has increased recently, often overlapping with the style of the [[Faux Documentary]] and [[Mockumentary]]. It can show up in non-live action works as well, see [[False Camera Effects]]. Of course, ~~jitter cam~~[[Jittercam]] has also managed to gather a large [[Hatedom]] from people who feel that it's overdone and used to cover up badly choreographed action scenes. Like many things, it isn't inherently a bad thing to use but when used in excess (either ''too'' shaky or in too many scenes) many people will describe it as "headache" or "nausea" inducing. Contrast [[Screen Shake]]. See also [[Camera Abuse]], [[Shaky POV Cam]], [[Dizzy Cam]]. {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == Anime &and Manga == * ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', in the first episode and an opening sequence. * In the final fight scene in the first episode of the anime ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'', the camera not only jitters, but also loses focus at one point. The effect shows up in a few other episodes as well, always in a fight scene. Looks cool, although drawing attention to the camera raises the question of [[Anachronism Stew\|what a cameraman was doing in Edo Japan]]. [[False Camera Effects\|Or a cartoon]]. Line 74: ** However, the camera became less jittery as the series went on; later, this only came up when it made the most sense-during action scenes. * ''[[24]]''. * ''[[Firefly (TV series)\|Firefly]]'' was notable for being the first show that ''simulated'' the jittercam effect in its CGI sequences. * The 2003 reboot of ''[[Battlestar Galactica ~~Reimagined~~(2004 TV series)\|Battlestar Galactica]]''. The use, at least in the space scenes, was actually called for by writer/producer Ronald D. Moore, in his manifesto on "naturalistic science-fiction." The idea was that while in conventional film-making it is important never to draw attention to the camera in order to avoid breaking [[Suspension of Disbelief]], CGI special effects shots tend to fall into a sort of [[Uncanny Valley]] effect. The CGI shots in ''Battlestar Galactica'' were therefore shot using only camera placements and techniques that theoretically could have been used if the show were, in fact a documentary. * The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Love & Monsters". ** The more recent episodes are entirely filmed with Jittercam. Just look at "Let's Kill Hitler", for one example. Line 103: * The ''[[Mass Effect]]'' series simulates it, mostly for flybys and establishing shots. == Web Comics == * ''[[Full Frontal Nerdity]]'' [http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=591 reminds] us: {{quote\|'''ghost of [[The Crow\|Brandon Lee]]''': The afterlife has ''special places'' for people who use ''"shaky cam"''.}} == Web Original == Line 113 ⟶ 117: == Western Animation == * The pilot for ''[[Moral Orel]]'' used this during dramatic moments, mainly when [[Stepford Smiler\|Bloberta]] was alone (not sure about the rest of the series).{{verify}} * Mocked in ''[[South Park]]'' when [[South Park]] is attacked by guinea pigs. Even when just walking around normally, Randy Marsch breathes heavily and shakes his camera around manically, going from his wife's face to his shoes and making a big show for dramatic effect until his wife tells him to knock it off. == Real Life == Line 123 ⟶ 126: [[Category:Pages needing more categories]] [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Camera Tricks]]
