So You Think You Can Capture Dance?

- empfänger: Changing the camera work on So You Think You Can Dance
The camera work on So You Think You Can Dance does not allow the television audience to see the choreography as it's meant to be seen. The essence of dance is to see movement through space. If the subject is constantly in the center of the frame, you lose the perspective of the artform completely. Also, not being able to see the secondary dancers that are completing the stage picture takes away from the choreographer's vision. I've realized I'm not alone in this. Please sign the petition and hopefully we can alert the producers to the fact that the television public is missing out on such beautiful art.
We the undersigned believe that dance should be captured to represent the choreographer's vision. Forcing the perspective in the camera work detracts from an artform that, in its essence, is about moving through space. The overall picture is not being represented. We in the television audience are missing out on the force behind the movement.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
