Where did you see a shaky camera scene?

I noticed it in the opening shot. It was jittering, which I thought was odd because it was a still frame. You'd think they had a tripod. Didn't see it anywhere else though.

Yeah it was a little weird at times. They film it like that to give it more energy and feel more like reality but they went a bit overboard. You can see in some scenes they even tried to remove the hand held look, or just tone it down, with digital stabilisation, the image kinda warps around in that weird way, like newer mobile phone videos do.

Hmmmmmm. . .I never noticed a shaky camera, and I would have because I'm very sensitive to that motion that makes me nauseous.

Agreed. It's an unnecessary convention of modern filmmaking to give a sense of forced "realism" to a scene.
