What does the sight of 20,000 tulips feel like to a little boy?
Cliveden, an estate managed by the National Trust in the UK, is open to the public. It has a spectacular annual display of tulips and forget-me-nots.
This is a little home-movie turned short, pulled together from practicing hand-held run and gun techniques with my Sony PMW-EX1. No colour correction or post processing except for two 'smoothcam' shots.

It's kind of an interesting distortion and I'm curious about its cause. Is it something to do with the way the slow motion was achieved (post fx vs. overcrank)? Was it something having to do with hard impacts from running, and CMOS characteristics? Any ideas?
I was trying to run forwards and hold the camera steady whilst pointing it sideways, and whilst it was steady in an XY axis, the camera started to swing from the hand grip, so in effect spinning in the Z axis (e.g. rocking backwards and forwards in my hand.
SmoothCam can correct both XY jitters with a bit of cropping AND cure Z rolling, at the expense of some funky morphing action. If you look at Alex's slomo tests with water, you'll see his hand morph a bit in the later takes:

No CMOS problems here.
In some respects, I feel Alex's comment about his final experiment ('it failed in an interesting way') applies to this shot: If I need something that looks like a PoV during a migrane or other whack on the head, I'll use excessive rolling in-camera then get SmoothCam to try and 'unbend' it.
