I know i know, its supposed to be authentic and artsy and real and what not.
But there is no point in all of the above if you just screw everything up with sloppy technical production.
There is no point in great acting, good tunes and a solid story, if half of the time the footage is out of focus when its not supposed to be or the light so dark and flat that you hardly can make out the action.
I was so looking forward to this show, but after the first episode i'm very dissatisfied.
I'm a professional photographer and i just get so distracted from the story when it looks like its shot carelessly with no regards to focus, lighting or composition. Don't get me wrong, i'm all for alternative filmmaking, but even with a minimum of production you can be mindful of focus pull and light conditions.
The sad part is, it does a disservice to the story and the community its supposed to uplift to the center of attention. Because ultimately a lot of people will stop watching because its distracting from what's important.
Its on the opposite scale of lets say a blockbuster where over production, stupid dialogs and CGI is distroying the story. In The Eddy the opposite happens, carelessness is distroying and distracting from the otherwise promising content.
Maybe its getting better, but after part 1 i give it a 5, because i love Jazz and i love most of the actors.
