i read the article nerd
"Time slice and switch between cameras"
it's shakycam, or if you're going to be a pedant, it's new shit utilized for the exact same effect, to visually confuse the viewer to make them think action is more actiony
He's not describing the 20 camera setup here. The 20 camera setup is SPECIFICALLY side by side. In this next quote, he's describing what we call "shooting coverage". This is almost always like, 3 or 4 cameras. These cameras could be totally static, and still be described as frenetic action, because that is an editing choice. Not shakicam. The "time-slice" is just a jump cut/speed ramp. Another editing technique, and not camera operation a la shakycam.
