Continuing our series analysing the biggest changes in the 2019 bodywork regulations changes, we take a look at the new restrictions for the front brake cooling ducts.
This sh*t messes me up everytime they do it. Happened a few times during the japanese gp just this weekend.wuzak wrote:Agreed.strad wrote:I don't know about all the rest but with that I totally agree.That said, I still think producers do a terrible job covering races.
I don't think they like or understand racing actually.
When a driver is setting up to attempt a pass they will cut to pictures of the pit crew, usually sitting, or to a significant other or to a supposed celebrity.
Or, worst of all, to Christian Horner's jiggling foot (they used to do it with Brawn's banana too).
No ---. How else could one record ambient sounds if not with external microphones? (What do you think you're hearing now?)Andres125sx wrote:Sorry Ben, but this is solved as easily as using external mics, wich is standard for any producer, even the small ones.
Ben is right,mrluke wrote:If they opened up the recording monopoly, a broadcaster would quickly emerge that could convey a decent finished "product" from each race weekend. The youtube videos of grass roots events are far superior to what we see from FOM.

You first said sound changes with camera angles changes (wich can only happen when using on-camera mics), but then assert they obviously use exgternal mics...bhall II wrote:Sound design for motorsport broadcasting is a challenge, because it would be disorienting for viewers if the audio feed changed as frequently and abruptly as the camera angles directors use when tracking (following) cars around a circuit.

.Camera placement is simply terrible, looks like they´re still using camera placement of three decades back, when cameras didn´t have any zoom and they had to be placed next to the track. Today that is absurd but they keep doing it
I don't think that's true at all. The sense of speed is lost because they match the zoom speed to the car velocity keeping the cars a constant size in the frame. From front on that is what destroys sense of speedstrad wrote:When shooting from that far away with an ultra long lens you lose all sense of speed.
As cold fussion said, not true, well true if you were thinking about front cameras, but I was thinking about the opposite, cameras at a side of the track/straight, at some distance, and with zoom. That´s what provide real speed feeling, and the only way to notice slopes on the camera.strad wrote:.Camera placement is simply terrible, looks like they´re still using camera placement of three decades back, when cameras didn´t have any zoom and they had to be placed next to the track.

Not true.
The problem came with using fewer cameras with ultra long lenses where they cover a mile long straight with one camera from a crane 200feet up and 200 feet back from the track.
When shooting from that far away with an ultra long lens you lose all sense of speed.
