I don't know if anyone else has noticed this or is bothered with, but I have noticed some directors have come up with this annoying effect which resembles they are vigorously shaking the camera while filming. They employ this horrid effect for their opening credits. check out RLD's Just Over 18 #16 trailer to get an idea. Horrible. But be careful, if you suffer from seizure from time to time, you may want to not look there.
I have seen RLD, Vince Voyeur and Mach 2 do this stupid shit. Why? Why?

It is indeed infinitely annoying - one more reason to abandon
RLD for a while and have them cool down.
They probably think it's even artsy .. yikes.

I've noticed it and hate it. Yes, it's usually behind the credits, or in some tease sequence between scenes, and it's often accompanied by lame pseudo heavy metal music, so I suspect it's supposed to be exciting and rebellious. How artistically daring. No, it's just crap. In one instance it was heavy metal music plus posterized colour. Exciting like dog vomit.

At some point most people involved in creative pursuits try breaking the rules in order to be more creative, to shock or just stand out. Most also quickly understand that the rules are there for a reason and randomly breaking them just results in a mess.

Hold the camera still, point it at the action. Work up from there.

Are we talking about the same sort of shaking we see in some of Erik Everhard's trailers when he was at Evil Angel? He also rolled out film-residue which would flash across the screen like muck on the lens slipping by. Terrible effect.

Porn directors need to lose these conceits quickly.

I concur; it's very annoying.

Wow. That's bad, and not just the earthquake thing.
That last 10 seconds with the 3 girls reminded me of Color Climax stuff from 20 years ago.
(Except the girls are hotter and it's not in German.)
