Re: A few words about... Kingdom of Heaven - The Director's Cut

Simon, you've presented the quote in an exceptionally dishonest way. Here's the actual passage:

Quote:
Having a large arsenal of up to seven cameras at a time allowed Mathieson and Scott to operate periodically, along with A-camera operator Peter Taylor and Steadicam operator Klemens Becker. "Peter’s very good at handheld work; he kind of floats along," Mathieson testifies. "Klemens’s Steadicam work is very elegant and precise. In those [multi-camera] situations, I was thinking, ’Someone has got to be getting something good."

There's no "because" there -- it's not even implied.
