They were used similarly in Die Hard (although I'm sure these ones were digitally inserted). It helped make me feel like the camera was actually "there."<br /><br />Your comment gives me a great idea for a comedy short about lens flares where the lens flare is actually a character in the story.Chris Prekstahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02453347434682657758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402367967698612997.post-41306992807958456732009-05-10T14:52:00.000-04:002009-05-10T14:52:00.000-04:00I loved it all.

It was like someone just got their first copy of After Effects or something.LMPjr007https://www.blogger.com/profile/08789902828046077032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402367967698612997.post-36212497438262890302009-05-10T14:28:00.000-04:002009-05-10T14:28:00.000-04:00I saw the movie on an Imax screen and it is AWESOM...I saw the movie on an Imax screen and it is AWESOME! The only downside is that it can be hard to see everything if there is a lot happening on screen. It also really exaserbates the 'hand held' nature of some of the scenes. I don't mind a little camera shake, when it it's that big it's horrible.<br /><br />Brilliant movie. Loved the easter eggs (Uhura's drinks order and the victim of Scotty's teleporter 'experiment'), and great to see another Kiwi in a big role.Andrewnoreply@blogger.com
