Weird Editing On Google Jobs Videos

Philipp points out some Google promotional videos put out by Google Jobs to entice people to work at Google. As he notes, the editing is very questionable, trying to fake some sort of reality show quality on studio-produced footage (something reality shows have too much style to do). Take a look:

I don’t get it. The camera moves all the time, zooms for no reason. It’s like the shooting syle my friend used the first time he picked up a camera, not something you’d expect from anyone who knows their way around an editing machine. Someone must have thought this was stylish. It isn’t. It’s annoying.
By the way, loving YouTube’s embeddable playlist. I just wish the thumbnails could be below the player. Otherwise, very cool.
