Enjoying the new Ghost Hunters show and staff. However I wish they would please, please, please change the shooting style of the cameras! I don't know much about cameras, filming styles and the filming industry so forgive me if I lack the knowledge of its terminology and if my expression is over-simplistic. I feel that most of the time, the camera shots are disorienting, dizzying, and all around confusing and unpleasant to view. The (too) close-ups, off-center angles and up-shot camera views, split screens, etc., are not expressions of creativity as I suspect they're meant to be...it's simply off-putting and irritating.
I think the simple camera style of the old Ghost Hunters made the show feel more authentic and engaging. It makes the audience feel like they're in the room with the cast. I feel that this new format is just alienating its viewers. Does anyone else agree with this?? I hope Grant will read this and give it some consideration because I'd hate to see the show's ratings plummet because some irritating camera work (remember the camera work in the Blair Witch? Yuck!) turned off some viewers. I like the new cast, although I miss the old cast, too! Would like to see the renewal of this show but am frequently put off by the camera work.
