If it makes you feel better, I consider the camera movement in Farscape to be fairly static as compared to BSG. But BSG makes unusual use of faux-handheld effects and was an early show to do so - now it's very trendy. Farscape is actually quite innovative in its use of camera movement in that many of its establishing shots move slowly, panning at odd angles to mimic waves on the ocean - but often this is too slow to capture in a vid, especially a fast-paced one.

And what Farscape has in abundance, and what makes it so popular to vid, is its visual richness in terms of what's on screen, rather than how it's filmed. Star Trek's, or Babylon 5's, problem is that in addition to static camera angles, the actors are often very static - scenes themselves are not dynamic - and this is not an issue Farscape has at all.

So my comments at least are specifically in relation to camera movement and handheld shakiness which is very, very prominent in BSG and which I had to get used to working without; in Farscape even when there is camera movement, it's smooth, because the conceit isn't that it's being filmed on a camcorder. I honestly think that would have been a major adjustment to me WHATEVER I'd been filming just because a lot of my vidding learning curve happened with this facet of the footage to make use of?

/really long diatribe cus, um, I find this stuff fascinating. ;)

I really, really hope you like it. Don't worry about the delay. I miss you cus I love you, but, I'm still here. My life is weird too, I get it. We're both gonna be fine.

*hugs you*

I liked it a lot!

I've already recced it at my LJ, though somewhat tepidly because my brain is currently in a place where I can't do much more than write flat, one-paragraph entries, apparently. (As you may have noticed from the lack of 'real' updates to my LJ in recent weeks.)

I'll do a better rec at fs_10percent later. This is a worthy vid to restart my reccing project with! :-)

(Shaky Scorpy going 'me too, me too!' makes me laugh!)
