Love that "In Bruges" example. Using an actor, blocking action while he's on the phone, and the handheld camera in the middle of the hotel room to create an interesting scene.
What is the shoulder pad Peter is talking about at 2:35? I like this idea of the pad following your shoulder but being straight on the top for the camera.

Once your shooting handheld you become part of the camera so you need to move carefully and slowly when necessary. Great tips
This is extremely insightful!

This is great! I appreciate all the videos you are doing.
Thank you!!!

Surely there are smaller , lighter cameras which would ease the burden ?
smaller, lighter cameras tend to add micro-stutters and other stabilization issues. It's a trade-off
