 So You Think You Can Dance - Season Three

Topic: Bad Camera Work

I thought last season they were figuring out that with dance, less is more.

What is the point of routines with lifts, jumps and other elevations if they are going to shoot the whole thing with the crane?

It's like they are using this as a show off for their camera work (which is very good) but this is not the platform to do it.

Please cease with the fast camera switches, sweeping shots and crazy fast zooms in and out. The dancers are the only thing that should be dancing NOT the camera.

Tracking is good, close up in the right places are great, but the way they shoot distracts from the choreography, making it lose its impact. And these guys are professionals, they know how the make the routine work the stage and the crowd.

So PLEASE the director and editor, get off the speed and just shoot the damn thing!

Thank you
