Sorry if it's a dupe.)<br /><br />I am on the west coast and got home late, so I watched the late replay on SPEED after having read some of the complaints on Twitter.<br /><br />I have watched dozens of races from IRP/ORP mostly back when ESPN ran Thursday & Saturday Night Thunder - midget racing. (Also watched some of the old BUSCH series races here too. )They had me on the edge of my seat watching Mel Kenyon, Sammy Swindell, Bobby East, Dave Blaney, Rich Vogler (RIP) and so many others lap by lap with mostly ONE CAMERA on the top of the grandstand. It was like being there and having the best seat in the house. <br /><br />I watched a bunch of laps tonite and saw so many jump-cuts that it made me dizzy. On a sequence of several laps no shot lasted 5 full seconds. It's like watching a music video without the entertain-ment. It's so disorienting to be watching a shot from 3/4 rear for 3seconds until they enter a turn, then switch to a 3/4 front shot from middle of the turn until halfway down the straight (maybe 3-4 seconds) then switch to a head-on shot until they enter the next turn. On top of it, the back straight camera is on the INSIDE of the track, while the front stretch cam is on the outside, so you have the in/out camera perspective switching back & forth 2-3 times a lap and the front/rear perspective changing 3-4 times! This has always bugged me even on longer tracks, but at least there you have one shot on screen for longer than 5 seconds. On top of it all, once the leaders reach lapped cars, it muddles the viewer's appreciation of who is actually leading.<br /><br />It's the Hollywood obsession with tight shots, as though the simple fact of a single race car on the screen should be enough to excite us. What the bozos with no clown makeup (in the video truck) can't get thru their heads is that race cars don't mean anything without context, and the only way we get context is to have a wide view of the track for long enough to grasp the entirety of the situation. Then, the chatter of the booth team could actually flesh out the back story. As it stands now, they are frequently describing for us things we HAVEN'T SEEN because of the atrocious direction.<br /><br />I'm fed up with this garbage, and if it continues, the only NASCAR events that excited me every week without fail will be history as far as I'm concerned.<br /><br />Man I miss the Carquest Cage Cam;-)Dannyboynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-73051246472996913252010-07-24T00:38:43.371-04:002010-07-24T00:38:43.371-04:00JD...I was at the race-it is on DVR, so I have not...JD...I was at the race-it is on DVR, so I have not watched....but I was suprised of the LACK of cameras.
