Electric cameras have RUINED movies. SMH my head can't believe cameramen these days are too lazy to crank the camera. Theres that subtle, imperfect look that you just DON'T GET with modern gimmicks like "stable images" (postmodernist drivel)

    Yeah I've shot on some of these old hand crank cameras before, I definitely see your point. Not very good for sound film, though.

        Imagine going to watch a FILM and expecting people to TALK. This isn't the wireless, kiddo. Movie cameras make NOISE because they don't want to HEAR the actors babbling around. You have to IMPRISON them in a CAGE to dampen their despairing cries.

        Wanted actors to talk anyway, just for shits and giggles? We had a tool for that. They're called TITLE CARDS.
