I appreciate all the input guys, jona, I agree anything can be artistic
nowadays.
And tv uses bad video as effect or illusion often.
Take for example "Commander and Chief" everytime she thinks of the past,
they
over expose the brightness levels of the picture to simulate a bad video
recording from
the past, it would look pretty bad if the whole show was done like that, but
because of that
you know it's from the past.
So I guess consumer video tape influenced this effect also since most
people's home video from a couple
of decades ago looked like this.
I guess any effect is acceptable now as long as you return to quality format
so people can see it was an intentional effect.
Good for coverups also as Leslie noted.
I wonder what bad technique hasn't been used an effect yet?
