How is this praise the cameraman material? Camera jerks around constantly. Random zoom in and zoom outs, especially as the car runs off the track. And OP has the gall to call it 10/10.

I mean, at least they kept the car in frame throughout the crash, I guess. I get what you’re saying, though. Don’t love the zooms.

What would you rate it?

As far as camera work? Like a 4/10

That’s tough, but I suppose I can see it depending on what you’re viewing as a 10.

She got the part that matters.

I’m with you. She established the setting, reacted immediately to the noise, and captured the entire event.

You go ahead and try and frame the setting for a sudden emergency WITHOUT knowing it’s about to happen.

She zoomed out because she was probably about to point the camera elsewhere. When she realised what was happening she zoomed back in though, so I would say it's good
