Yep, you got a GREAT view of her ass most of the time...
Seriosuly, I like TR, I think it was a good attempt, but the camera
algorthyms still need work. Its the other extreme from the fixed camera..
the TR camer a is ALWAYS swooping all over the palce., Frankly its too
much motion-- makes it look like William Shatner directed it 9those who
follow the Star Trekk movies will understand.)
I tihnk they need some film-trained cameramen and or directors to discuss
with them what a camera does in a movie.. (a well directed and
ciematographed one that is).

Yep, this is what I meant by "environmebntal awareness", but ist not as
good as a more diastant 3/4 view or an overhead gives you, or even as much
as a side view gives you. Its kinda a comrpomise before full 1st eprson POV.
