Sometime in the 90s a lot the cable programming became virtually unwatchable for me. If I had a slow motion button, maybe it would be OK. They’ll be panning some old car or artifact or something, and it’s just bam! bam! bam! bam!, they don’t linger on anything more than a split second. Damn near induces a seizure in some folks, flicker vertigo.

Camera can’t stay still for 2 seconds. Even in quiet scenes the camera is handheld and bobbing about because of the low attention span of the cameramen these days.

“Movies” are shot on video now and they are edited in computers as are music videos. the same techniques are at work.

I watched a feature length documentary about film vs. video (by Keanu Reeves) that addressed things including the prep an actor does before going “on camera”. They don’t stop the camera with video, just “Try it again”. And there isn’t the production cost of processing all that raw stock when an actor (or director) demands another retake of some scene.

Also movies are “photoshopped” extensively. Think “vintage” instagram filters (tint the whole movie green, or yellow or whatever). They even colorized all of the green vegetation in Oh Brother Where Art Though to make it appear “dead”.
