Snorricam
SnorriCam (also chestcam , bodymount camera , bodycam or bodymount ) is a camera setting in which the camera films an actor frontally and does not move in relation to him. This is usually achieved by tying the actor's camera directly around the stomach. For example, a running actor does not seem to move in this setting , but his surroundings seem to flow around him. This effect represents dizziness and disorientation of the protagonist and evokes these feelings in the viewer.
history
The SnorriCam was named after two Icelandic photographers, Einar Snorri and Eiður Snorri.
