Should Trek XII have lens flares & camera shake

[jefferiestubes8]

In a similar vein to how the next Trek film will be shot like another poll I did: Poll: Trek XII should be shot on film or digital?


Should Trek XII have lens flares and camera shaking?

 

[Patrickivan]

Someone's looking to start trouble...

Let me start off...

Lens flares and shaking cameras make it look more "realistic"!

No it doesn't. Lens flares and shaking cameras just make for poor cinemitography...

Phew! Glad that's over with!

If it's appropriate to the story and the action going on, I don't see a problem with either.

 

[C.E. Evans]

Trek has had camera shaking ever since TOS, but as far as lens flare it's probably not a question of "if?" but "how much?" with Abrams back at the helm, IMO.

 

[Skellington]

No lens flare; they've exceeded their quota. Camera shaking has its place even in the antiseptic Star Trek universe.

 

[Captain Robert April]

There's a difference between a shaking camera to simulate the ship shaking and a shaking camera to make it look like a goddamn Dockers commercial.

Where's the option for "If the director sees fit to include them or not" ?

 

[Satyrquaze]

What do we check if we want more lens flare and more camera shaking?

 

[Bob Karo]

Where's the option for "If the director sees fit to include them or not" ?

We've all seen how that turned out last time.

So? Why would that preclude the option from being included in this poll?

I think in the audio commentary JJ explains why he has so many lens flares in the movie. He's fond of them. Further more why is this a Future of Trek thread?

 

[doubleohfive]

Presumeably because Trek XII will be released in the future?

As for the lens flares, if he (Abrams) wants to put them in, he's going to. No amount of bitching and moaning from the fans is going to change his mind.

I just think its a little convenient and disingenuous to set up a poll like this without taking the director's vision in to consideration.

 

[Admiral_Young]

I was just under the impression that Star Trek XII threads belonged in the Star Trek XI + forum, and yeah I agree with 005 regarding the flares.

 

[doubleohfive]

Meh, I wouldn't waste time worrying about it. If its a problem, the mods will address it.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

It should be all lens flare, all the time.

 

[ALF]

They should hand out medicine in the theatres to prevent seizures.

 

[Bry_Sinclair]

Camera shake is a staple part of Trek (on TV or Film), how else are you suppose to know they've taken a hit?

But please dear Gods NO camera flares!

 

[Broccoli]

Where's the option for "If the director sees fit to include them or not" ?

Obviously because we fans know better on how to dictate the vision of a film-making professional.

 

[MacLeod]

It makes no difference to me, they didn't spoil my enjoyment of Star Trek (2009) so as far as I'm concerened this issue is a long way down the list of things to do right in the making of the next film.

 

[Skywalker]

I'm kind of wishing they triple the lens flare in ST12 just to annoy the complainers.
