I don't view the shaky camera work of QoS as "Bourne-style" filming considering Paul Greengrass didn't magically create the style/term. I don't see the comparison. The shaky camerawork is much more pronounced in my opinion in QoS, and when it is used in TBS and TBU it is used in a very creative fashion.

shaky cam is an effective tool, to make the audience feel as though they are there, going through what the main character is going through - to put us in their shoes if you will...
but when it's abused - then it becomes too noticeable and distracting
PS - i also categorize a difference between just regular hand held camera work, and shaky cam - most people want to classify them as one in the same.... i don't.

Absolutely. There is a very big difference between handheld and shaky-cam.
There is also a very big difference between shaky-cam and what we saw in QOS. QOS had no shaky-cam. It was not the camera work at all, it was editing. The cameras themselves were rather steady whereas the editing was very fast paced. I feel like I'm the only one who sees a distinction.

It's thought by many to signify the end of the reboot which is why it's placed at the end of the film.

For Quantum Of Solace it was the only way it could have been done and works as a one-off due to closing a two-part film. From now on, it'll be back to where it normally is.

Next year should be great from start to finish.
Maybe it will look something like this:
QBranch said:So no bullet through the gunbarrel? Jk. By the way, that intro looks awesome. I'm guessing the Bond theme and the gunbarrel will be slightly different again.

OHMSS69 said:I hate to admit this but...I don't recall a whole lot of QoS. Was the movie that bad? I know it is not nearly as good as CR but when you guys mention some scenes i just can't remember. I did not like Greene, I was not too fond of Camille, the subplot about water, oil (WTF?) Camille and that Latin American officer?? I did like agent Fields though. Maybe they should have stuck with the Mr. White, Quantum storyline rather than going off on that other stuff. :(
