The one thing that I like about DBSK's Japanese productions is the cinematography. Have you ever been so pissed off at the camera man because you feel nauseous watching a video? There's massive zoom ins and outs and flipping of camera 360 degrees and switching from this camera to that camera. They try to make it exciting like that, during a fast ( Read more... )

I remember watching SHINee on Music Bank and he did this super close up on the boys faces like uggh. XD OH. And the camera twirling. SRSLY. LOL. Korean cameramen just...lol.

Hmmm. And the boys are just beginning to be getting on the "big" shows in Japan. Wait when they do more of the popular shows and you see better cinematography. XD Utaban tends to be like a real-time PV while Hey3x is like this big party and of course, Music Station. Other shows (Music Japan, Music Fighter, Music Fair) are nice too but they don't really reach a wide demographic in terms of audience.

But the amazing thing about Music Station is that everything happens LIVE. XD No edits or whatever, so even if the talk portions are short, they tend to say exceptional things because it's beyond ediitng control. 8D And you have to give kudos to the cameramen because getting those kind of shots during LIVE telecast is difficult. XD So much pressure lol.

OMG yes, Music Bank. I still remember the performance where they even focussed on Taemin's crotch. I'm like WTF mr cameraman!

Wow! I'm not very knowledgeable about the Japanese productions and stuff. So far I've just watched the Concert DVDs (loveeee the cinematography there. they really capture good artistic shots even if it's not focussed on the boys' faces.) Wow Music Station is 100% LIVE? So if they make a mistake in their performance, there's no redoing it right? (I know in Music Bank, they can. Yoosu bumping into each other lol.) Kudos to the cameraman for getting such artistic shots live, and also to the guy in the editing room that controls which camera is active!

Japanese cameramen tend to be perverted like that too. I remember a performance where they zoomed in BoA's ass and Namie Amuro's chest. Lots of crotch too whenever KAT-TUN performs. SRSLY. LOL. not that I don't like it. Especially with KAT-TUN. All that I don't like about shots in Korean music shows is that they tend to be all over the place and you never get to see a nice view of the choreography.It's like a headache waiting to happen especially during songs like A.MI.GO or SNSD's Himnae or Jewelry's One More Time. XD They should really plan their shots.And when the singer starts running around, the camera is always too slow. XD ( ... )
