I'm no physicist, but it seems to me if there was a shift it wouldn't be all that noticeable except for the objects furtherest away. I mean, you're travelling at 300,000 km/sec, so, I would imagine the shift would be all but negligent except when concerning objects far enough away to matter.

I thought so at first too, but now after thinking about it, I think the slowing has more to do with time dilation rather than the videographer slowing the effect.

I have no frame of reference since my considerable ass has never travelled at light speed, so I could be completely off base about the whole thing.

Someone jump into Tilted Knowledge and round us up some physicists.
