  • don’t zoom in and out all the darn time while your camera is recording.

People get nauseated watching that!

the next time you watch TV, take note of how often you see a shot zoom in, then immediately zoom out again. *

I’ll wait…

OK.  What did you learn?

David should have made a bet on the turn to see if his Jack-high was any good.

I disagree, faithful reader.  Mike called his pre-flop raise- so It’s unlikely David’s Jack was any good.

Oh, wait.  Never mind that.

This is what you learned by watching your television:

  • Professional TV productions rarely zoom in and out.
  • They pick a shot, and they HOLD the shot.


*If you went and watched VH1 or MTV, you’re special.  The above rule does not apply to you.
