I want to shoot a short film soon, and it takes place outdoors on the streets, during the day. Now where I live, the authorities don't seem to have a problem with movie shooting as long as you don't have a lot of equipment set up. Hand held camera is okay with them. Jibs and dollies, not so much, on public sidewalks.
There is a shot I want so far when I picture the script, and it's like this example:
This dolly shot from The Dark Knight that is 34 seconds into the video:

Now usually in movies that have the hand held style, you do not see rotating shots like that, that would normally be done with a dolly, so is it possible to make a shot like that, look good hand held? Or will this just not fly with audience at all, especially if you are a low budget filmmaker trying to make a good impression on his demo reel?
