Blown Out Video on ABC News Feature Story

April 1, 2014 forum topics
ABC – Amateur Broadcasting Company

This is just inexcusable, especially at the network level. To the person that shot this blown out, shaky, snap zoom-filled ABC News feature video and the one(s) that approved it, how did you get and how do you keep your jobs? And please stop rocking & shifting from side to side. This is not Mtv. This had to be an intern’s work based on a last minute, out the door decision just to get it done. I also can’t believe someone approved this amateur full-auto mess to go to air. I can only assume and hope that the editor had nothing more to work with and was forced to use those cutoff snap zooms and hunting shots because the shooter didn’t provide any pad on either end. You know, the one’s that press record right in the middle of a move or zoom like you see on ABC’s AFV. See two nauseating video stills below the video link.

1:44 Blown Out

3:15 Blown out with shaky pan and hunting snap zoom. Apparently, the shooter had to hunt for the subject in the frame because it was all blown out.
