Scope (RTE 2) nearly made me throw up!

Jesus H Christ!

The curse of Network 7 lurks among the "tyros" of Irish televsion it seems, during a feature on this weeks prog (just repeated) I had to stop watching so distracting was the amphetamine induced camerawork and editing. No image
could be static and no moment could last more than 2 seconds without an edit.

If anyone from the makers of this farrago is reading - just stop it!

i hate it when this happens, like you i nearly get sick

if it was done like The Shield where movement is minimal but effective then fine, not one where it looks like the camera man is struggling to hold the camera

Yeah, it's really annoying all these programmes that insist on using "shakeycam". Personally, I blame 'NYPD Blue' for starting all this!

Remember the "Father Ted has to kick Bishop Brennan up the arse" episode and it started off with a real piss-take of 'NYPD Blue' featuring extensive use of "shakeycam" and even a "Previously on Father Ted" voiceover? Spoofed 'NYPD Blue' and all those other programmes that use too much "shakeycam" really well, I thought!

I think its part of their "Grovvy/Hip" experiments.

I haven't seen scope, but it can't be as bad as the use of shakey can and saturation that was used in the big bow wow
