Chris's approach to camerawork of all kind is rather abysmal, whether we're talking of still photography or video work. Despite of years and years of constant and obviously enthusiastic photography and home video making, Chris hasn't learned anything beyond basics of this craft. Actually, the way he still routinely fucks up things prove he's handling cameras far worse than your average joe... and as we've seen from what Chris has done to his PSEye, that can be interpreted in two ways.
Framing the shots
Chris assumes that if he can see the lens, then everything can be seen by the lens. He has no idea what it means to be in the focus of a shot, and is constantly standing way out of center, or is putting shit way too close to the camera, so that you cant even tell what the fuck you're looking at.
Lighting
Most of Chris's YouTube videos have been lit completely wrong. Plainly put: If you're making videos indoors, you've got to turn the room lights on; human brains can automatically adjust to different color temperatures, but film and video cameras either lack the automatics to handle this, or are constantly struggling in bad lighting conditions to figure out what's going on. Chris assumes that if there's enough natural light coming in for him to see anything at all, then the video is lit properly. As a result, many of Chris's indoor video shots have distinct yellow tint.
