Yeah, now every movie, TV show, etc. has to have the "shaky camera" to keep your attention. I can't tell you how much I hate that.

Never saw the shaky camera when watching movies till the "no attention span" generation came around.

About two months ago, I put a power strip on my TV/Cable/DVD etc. set up (as a cost saver). Since it takes about 3 minutes to warm up / reset, I find I turn it on very seldom - never seems worth the wait.

TV is like a little kid jumping up and down saying “Look at me! Look at me!”

“shaky camera”

LOL, I can't stand it either; chop-chop editing born of the MTV age drives me nuts, too. I suppose fifty years from now they'll look back and see these as a tacky sign of our age...

I actually had an art history prof in the late 80's who predicted this. He suggested that the way music videos were being shot at the time would influence the production of TV shows and movies.
