Greetings...

Why does it seem like there are an awful lot of busted cameras out there? When creating demo vids for your fantastic revolutionary breakthrough brand-new, never before seen version ellusion,er, I mean Illusion, can you please make sure your camera is actually working, and won't make yet another herky-jerky video filled with odd video glitches like suddenly going black-and-white, dim lit, poor contrast, static filled, or wavy? I'm getting sea-sick watching some of these things, and if I can't clearly see the effect in full, what's the point?

These are mostly from kids pitfully trying to be "hype", or seeming like they've got "madnezz video editin' skillz", you know.

That, IMO, is the same as Britney Spears having a dozen dancers and cirque-ish productions on stage: They are used to misdirect us out of her lack of talent.

Don't get me wrong, though, I LOVE when some really skilled guys can decently mixture modern video editing with good magic (or even when no doing magic at all). The below link is a favorite of mine, because evn though he's not doing any magic, the video itself is a real piece of digital art. Behold Andrei Jikh's The'Me:
