- As of the October, 2009, you need go no further than the watch NBC and 1:30 AM to see a showcase of the most horrific video effects ever.

Video effects mistake
- Having studied TV production in the early 1960's, when effects were at a minimum, I was taught that effects should only compliment the overall message and never call attention to themselves. We had the cut, the dissolve and the wipe. Cuts are used to maintain continuous idea; dissolves show a displacement of time, space or concept and wipes are easily distractions for the message. Rule #1. If the effect causes the viewer to notice the effect MORE than the idea it is supposed to support, then DON'T USE IT. It's that simple.

Worst Digital Effects
- The one I dislike the most dissolves with those little boxes. Ugggh! And most often encountered by amateurs are "too many" effects.
