"Reality Show" Feedback please

Personally I hate 'shake cam', and 'racking in and out on the focus'... Allen Funt didn't have to resort to shaky mic to get a feeling of 'man/woman' for radio... nor did he use 'shaky' cam for the TV series...

And, I didn't really get into watching the whole thing, due to that sort of 'affect'.

If you want to break the suspension of disbelief, and make it seem more 'real', why don't you try having 'production' equipment in the shots... that will give
the viewer the clue that it is 'reality'... and you need not resort to bouncing the camera around.
 
j1clark, thanks for the feedback, that was one concern we had while making it, we thought it was a little much as well. When we shot the second episode we changed a few things to hopefully tighten it up. The fist is way less shake and zoom, the camera itself isn't really "there" anymore, and also we shortened the hell out of it. Hope you get a chance to check this one out and give us some more input. Thanks
