GROO-012 - Hot Club Girls: Extreme Mini Skirt Dance Party

I've watched over 600 erotic dance videos, and this one has the camera positioned way too low. Why shoot from down there? You're filming around the girl's ankles. There are so many scenes where the camera is pointlessly low, making her butt and body look small and distant—zero impact. You can't even see her face or expressions. Even for a low angle, the basic rule for dance videos is to frame from the knees up, right? Please do some homework. Even when the cameraman has freedom of movement, he clearly doesn't understand how to frame a girl to make her look sexy, so the camerawork is blurry and shaky. There are so many shots of random things like the back of her knees, shins, or sides (lol). I don't know if he's trying to add 'dynamism' or if he's obsessed with music videos, but the camera is constantly spinning around (lol). He even starts shaking the camera to the beat of the music (rofl). Think about the purpose of an erotic dance video—you don't need 'style' or 'dynamism' in the camerawork, just the erotic elements! The dynamism comes from the girl's dancing; the camera should just stay steady. The costumes are great—very Juliana's Tokyo era—and the cast size and music were decent, but the cameraman's lack of skill ruined it. It's a failure of the director for allowing this camerawork. Still, there are a few decent shots here and there, so I'll give it 3 stars.

The dancing was monotonous throughout. It feels less like a dance video and more like a commercial for the erotic clothing shop that supplies the costumes to Digital Arc.
