Great handheld work was in TV series The Shield. I also noticed that many directors try to shoot their scenes (or short movies) in one long shot And of course:

I didnt mind it in these movies, but I am bored by this look :) All fashion videos look like this...

I also see very often this tilt-shift effect...

Do you mean something like this? Phillip Bloom uses shots like these a lot:

I first noticed it in Abram's Star Trek :)

Do you think there is a fashion or trends in cinematography? What are the new trends, popular looks, cliches etc?

Thanks for the explanation. Many of these shows were probably post-produced on SD video, so every episode have to be completely re-edited and post-produced from scratch, right? I heard they did this with Start Trek: Next Generation. That has to be very time consuming and expensive. What surprised me is that the new effects in Star Trek: NG looks exactly same as they did in the SD version, The only difference is that they now have more detail in HD.

There is very subtle crop. But as you can see 16:9 versions shows more informations on the left and the right sides.

But these shows are not cropped in 16:9 version. For example... look at this image from X Files: http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/e0vljnspyyt5sxhs4nwv.jpg Also look at these mouse-over comparison of the both version: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/58918

Does it mean that all these TV shows were shot on super 35mm?

Can somebody exmpain to me why some TV series with original aspect ratio 4:3 have 16:9 aspect ratio on Blu-ray without any crop? I thought aspect ratio of 35mm is 1.375:1, but TV series like CSI Miami or The Shield have actually wider image on Blu-ray and now I can see their original TV 4:3 versions are cropped on both sides. How is this possible? BTW, The X-Files - the same thing: http://theomegasector.com/index.php?/topic/19579-x-files-in-native-hd-and-169/

What is this thing on the left side? Looks like an antena... https://scontent-a-vie.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash2/t1/521366_4166493924259_722253006_n.jpg

I read in AC article they achieved this look by using "a Harrison blacktop texture screen, as well as a stocking on the back element on every shot". Harrisonn blacktop texture screen - what does it is?
