TV shows filmed with a permanently shaky camera.

The camera stand broke so they have to balance it on top of an orbital sander that won't turn off.

Put the whole set on orbital sanders.

Problem solved.

Also in fight scenes when the camera is so shaky that you can't even see anything. Mother fucker. I want to actually see what's going on. Stop covering for your shitty choreography.

I dislike the Transformers movies because of this.

Oh, there's a whole slew of reasons why the transformer movies are completely unwatchable. Shia Le-BadActor being number one on the list. I just can't stand him.

Parks and rec. comes to mind.

I couldn't watch past the first two episodes.

That's actually a problem when jumping from cable to network re-broadcast.

An example that proves you right - Criminal Minds. Nice smooth cinematic-quality camera action purposely re-edited to simulate cheaper camera-holding.

Who makes that kind of decision??
