Camera work is pathetic...hardly see anything and it's too. Flipping far back
Dont want to see the back if the bloody judges heads!!!!

The camera work in BGT and X-factor is abysmal.

I completely agree. I saw hardly any of the Abyss routine thanks to panned out shots from the back of the venue coupled with the stage being too dark.

You are correct. The camera work detracted heavily from the group performances (i.e. most of them). Not professional.

I can only assume the lights were meant to reflect off the stripes on abyss' clothes to make it look like the stripes were moving all on their own

But for some reason the reflectiony bit never happened

Thats the only reason i can think of for the stage being so poorly lit.

Also lights hurt my eyes.
wish they just showed Abyss, could not make out all what they did
wish they did not show judges I want to see the acts and not judges watching the acts

Totally agree. ITV's direction & camerawork in all their shows is horrendous. It's even the same with their football coverage. They zoom in at strange times or cut away to random things when something good's happening so you can't actually make out what the hell's going on.
And the lighting with Abyss was shocking. Totally ruined what may have been quite a spectacle.
