Garrett Brown, the inventor of Steadicam (remember the tracking shots in the corridors off and on carpets or the snowy maze)wrote a guide book which said "If the director has seen 'The Shining' then god help you".

There are plenty of beautiful films that fail due to an abstract close-up or whip-pan. That's what makes it so exciting!<br /><br />I shall attempt to get hold of a copy of ACO and apply the rigorous testing procedure. I don't own it because, although it looks lovely, it's overlong and boring after a while.
