I'm not so sure Pam. That shaky-cam "realistic" POV was sooo cool with
BG. I mean, it MUST be cool since it seems to be so pervasive these days.

Actually, it looks like some producers have a grudge against Stedicam
and are refusing to use their technology. Or they're using
rapidly-moving camera shots to cover-up for crappy SFX.

More likely is that they've (the marketdroids backed-up by dubious
social scientists) figured-out that jerky camera action causes eyeballs
to pay more attention.

I watched BG for awhile and just gave up after two or three episodes.
