...where's the fucking camera in there?

I will throw no shade on Marques. The dude does what works. But here's the fucked up thing: before the one-camera-jumpcut style became king, you could legit buy decent video switchers for under $500. But now you can't. Because nobody uses them. And shit - you've been able to cut multiple cameras live in Final Cut since 2006. but nobody does.

Here's how bad it is - I worked at a goofy little studio that puts this together. It's got three not-great HDV cameras, a Newtek switcher, three Sennheiser Evos, a jib and some lights. And that rig is so flabbergastingly major compared to what everyone else is doing that they rent it out to Larry Fucking King.
