In that entire sweeping era of 2000's found footage, I think there are two projects that actually nailed the cinematic language by actually treating it as the reality of "people being filmed." The Office UK. And Chronicle. Maybe another?

Meanwhile there's incredible "docu-style" stuff like the work of Iannucci (where there is no live cameraman). What I'm essentially getting at is my deep, inexorable problem with amount of bad found footage that cheats and tries to have it both ways.

I may seem innocent, but it's really kind of horrendous. You're shrugging off the basic reality of your entire project for short-term cheap moment. And I'm glad it's no longer en vogue.
