Far be it from me to complain ...

... BUT ... if I ever get my hands on the snot nosed punk who thought it was a good idea to shake the camera, zoom in and out so fast your eyes can't focus on anything, point the camera off subject then pan up and zoom in so close and so fast you don't have time to even comprehend what you are seeing, I'm going to beat your dumb ass so hard your great great great grandchildren will feel it. Dude ... look ... I got a freakin' ax in my head ... I'm not joking here!

And if I ever get my hands on the morons who encouraged the little snot nosed punk, I'm gonna beat your ass too!

I was watching a show last night, the season finally of some ghost hunting type show. It was about a haunting in an old theater. They found this 30 second clip of footage in one of those time capsule thingy's. They go on and on about how awesome the footage is and at the end of the show they finally put it up on a projector screen to show the client. The ***king idiot camera guy twists the camera, moves it up and down, and zooms in so close to the screen you can't see anything but a blur.

Hey adzehole ... ever watch your own crap on an actual TV? A 52" one? It SUCKS you idiot.

Camera men of the world, STOP IT WITH THE DAMN SHAKY ZOOMY BLURRY VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!! We live in an age now of high definition, 80inch 4K TV's for $30,000, blu-ray, 192kHz audio, 10.2 surround (ok, I made that one up) ... nobody wants to see your freaking hands shaking or you diddling with the damn zoom and focus controls like some 8 year old that just got his hands on his dads Sony 8mm HandyCam ... m'k?

Hey ... it's gotta be a better thread than Susan Sarandon banging a mentally challenged Asian kid ... right? I mean, did you actually look at the pictures ... omg.

Another one is that trucker show. They do this digital zoom thing with the camera to make it look like they are always driving straight off the edge of a 3,000 foot drop, then they come back from commercial and they are just floating along calm as could be

Yeah, I watched 'Ice Road Truckers' for a couple of episodes...'dramatic' computer simulated shots of trucks crashing through the ice, followed by...not much happening...except a truck travelling at 4mph..and then parking up at a snowy depot...wow.

I do agree with you.  I don't watch those shows where they produce the show with non-steady cameras.  they did that some even in some recent big movies, too, and I hated those scenes (Transformers, maybe?  I'm not sure).

it all started with The Blair Witch Project.  so many people thought that was "the bees knees" and producers have been copying that tactic since.  I hate it myself.  It IS just garbage.

Bub, I agree 100% with you.

But let's face it, even though you appear to be a bit of a spring chicken, you are in fact metamorphosising into middle aged man.

You are becoming more pedantic, grumpy and beligerent by the day.
 
Things that were at worse, minor irritants, have now become topics of heated debate.
 
Welcome to the club.

Welcome to my world.

But on the plus side it's really great when you get to embarrass your kids by describing things as 'Cool' or (much worse) 'Groovy'
