Roger, who was "forcing" you to do all this?
There's a reason I don't watch much TV.

Subject: [Avid-L2] Is this what we've come to?

Forced myself to watch a BBC1 Panorama ("""Current Affairs""") programme
just now (UK). This used to be a prime strand. I was forced to watch footage
fed through/placed on a little portable TV on one side of the frame (must be
art), at least 5 seconds of deliberately out of focus wide shot in an
interview and to top it all, a pseudo-home video (they did use the word
video) with a very wide black border around the frame within which was a bit
of film-effect footage with . . . Pseudo-hairs in the gate! Fantastic. I
spent my early years cleaning the gate on Arris. This went of for several
minutes. This is in addition to the usual array of crash zooms and
deliberate wobble-cam. Lead me to the old folks home, I'll stop right here.
