I thought that I was re-vitalizing the tradition of making films in the hand crank mode for a more organic cinematic experiences, then I read on another forum that a couple of big budget films are using some hand crank shots .

I'm also looking into a new lens cleaning fluid, made from gouts milk?

I like the handcranked look in shots in film...like the street scenes in the "Dracula" movie about 10 years ago...or the dream sequences in "From **** "...makes the films better!
