Its not a shakicam at all. Most of the shots were just a single iphone with a 60,000$ lens attached. Other sequences had a few of the same setups at once, and others were filmed very much the same way the bullet time setup from the matrix was shot. That technique is pretty much the opposite of shake.
Having that many cameras shooting at once also means that, in editing, it’s easy to pick out a specific perspective that’s a bit different from the rest. It can also be used to time-slice and switch between cameras during frenetic action.
“As it’s a horror movie, we use it for the violent scenes to emphasize their impact,” Boyle says.
“Time slice and switch between cameras”
it’s shakycam, or if you’re going to be a pedant, it’s new shit utilized for the exact same effect, to visually confuse the viewer to make them think action is more actiony
He’s not describing the 20 camera setup here. The 20 camera setup is SPECIFICALLY side by side. In this next quote, he’s describing what we call “shooting coverage”. This is almost always like, 3 or 4 cameras. These cameras could be totally static, and still be described as frenetic action, because that is an editing choice. Not shakicam. The “time-slice” is just a jump cut/speed ramp. Another editing technique, and not camera operation a la shakycam.
