I just so happen to be in the mood to learn about bacteria (and thanks for the tip on lens flare. I do think they're pretty cool, but alot of anime and other media abuse it too much)! Bird Butts and Hooker Scientists? This I gotta see! XD <blockquote>kabi (黴) - mold</blockquote> oh em gee.... So all this time, I was calling Kabitzin...MOLD-KUN??!!!! FORGIVE ME KABI-KUN!!!! (I'll probably still call him that =D) Maybe I should call him "Kareshi" ^_~! hurr hurr! I just so happen to be in the mood to learn about bacteria (and thanks for the tip on lens flare.

Essentially, it's the same kind of thing that plagued 80s film-making in America: unnecessary slow motion, still frame endings, obnoxious montage etc. etc. If you've seen the train wreck known as Tango and Cash, or the quintessential teen drama The Breakfast Club, then you can undoubtedly relate. It's the same thing here, it's used to be kind of self depricating. Since it was previously used to show something was fearsomely awesome it's used presently for the sake of amusement. And yes, lens flare on shots make photographers around the world weep and curse. Filmmakers too, it takes you out of the moment because you think, "Hrmmm...there appears to be some kind of camera there." You lose suspension of disbelief. Wow, a discussion on the use and ethical rigors of lens flare. Congratulations internet, you win again.

Captain Tsubasa and Saint Seiya among others overused this effect). Oh, nostalgia, when you hold my heart... (Do I talk like a gramps there? Please don't pay attention to that. *laughs*) Orion, let’s call it the “immortal kitsch effect”. ;)

I'm just baffled by <strong><em>why</em></strong> they think it's cool. Perhaps it's just a difference in aesthetics, but I cringe every time I see that kind of horrible flare. It would be one thing if it was realistic lens flare that would be expected in real filming, but to actively go out of your way to add ugly and ridiculously over the top flare, the kind of stuff that gets edited out with extreme prejudice in film post production, is completely mystifying. While I applaud the use of extremely creative shots replicating the effects of fisheye barrel distortion or interesting push-pull camera tricks, and while I enjoy seeing them use impossible camera positions, excellent color correction, cool contrast tricks, and other concepts that take advantage of the freedom inherent in the medium, this one point just really rubs me the wrong way. :P @ Karry
