This is off-topic, just a heads-up. Over on D. Bordwell's blog (he of Bordwell & Thompson cinema studies textbook fame), there's currently a nice discussion of hand-held camera shots in contemp cinema - he cheekily refers to it as Queasicam.

The hand-held cam was one of the problems i perceived with The Mourning Forest, kept jolting the passage into mourning, imo.

Yes, fair comment, Gheist. And I noted it myself at the time. I have read that article, but I haven't been following any comments. I find that one of the most interesting blogs that I've found.
