I am shocked they miss the crash live with so few cars on the track.<BR/><BR/>It was a real ESPN moment. I hope things improve before the broadcast tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>But I have seen so many tight camera shots, I am not feeling all that hopeful.<BR/><BR/>But it is good to see the cars running again.<BR/><BR/>And stop making the PERSON INTERVIEWED (Martin) take up HALF THE SCREEN???? They do this doing the races as well. <BR/><BR/>You TV broadcasters need to make the interview a TINY BOX and keep the track action BIG.<BR/><BR/>Go watch ESPN CLASSIC tapes and see how it should be done. :-)<BR/><BR/>I am enjoying Dave and Ken but must say the LIGHTING IS HORRIBLE and the cameras should be a bit higher...Dave looks bad and Ken could look better. Somebody needs to remember how to flatter the face on tv...Don't just make the girls look good but older guys deserve flattering camera angles and it's ALWAYS ABOUT THE LIGHTING! :-)<BR/><BR/>Ooh...Tony and Kurt get into it.

He's still got it in addition to the perspective nearly 50 years involvement in the sport. He brings so much to the broadcast. <BR/><BR/>I can't complain about Despain.

Let's just hope that was a case of having less cameras on hand for practice and not a case of all the cameras zooming-in so close on a couple cars that they missed most of the other cars involved a few yards further up the track.<BR/><BR/>That's why wide shots are so much better for crashes - they allow us to see ALL the cars involved instead of just getting a really close look at a couple cars crashing.stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-61276674679607622892008-02-08T18:41:00.000-05:002008-02-08T18:41:00.000-05:00It sounds like the audio problem is fixedIt sounds like the audio problem is fixedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-37245868305751434052008-02-08T18:39:00.000-05:002008-02-08T18:39:00.000-05:00Just recently home so missed everything before 6 T...Just recently home so missed everything before 6 Thankfully the cars are back on the track for practice cause Nascar Live was a little rockey.

I am looking forward to him being on the Speed team. The programming has been wonderful, but the audio has been horrible as someone else also noted. The ambient noise and enjgine noise was so overwhelming that you had a very difficult time understanding what the talen was saying. It seems that they have improved it over the last few minutes, but I can't believe that no one in the production truck or at the studio noticed the problem.<BR/><BR/>The audio was worst during the shootout practice. You could barely hear the talent over the constant hum of the engines.<BR/><BR/>I am sure Speed will get the audio balanced correctly, but I am surprised that it has seemed to take several hours to see improvement.Haus14https://www.blogger.com/profile/06348382223779617438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-43834388472079752112008-02-08T17:43:00.000-05:002008-02-08T17:43:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Haus14https://www.blogger.com/profile/06348382223779617438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-13169950002875088642008-02-08T17:39:00.000-05:002008-02-08T17:39:00.000-05:00I am enjoying the afternoon of broadcasting with a...I am enjoying the afternoon of broadcasting with all the Speed and Fox people.

They did everything right to counteract what ESPN did wrong all fall last year. No fancy video packages. No pre-taped full-screen interviews. No 5 minute behind-the-scenes look at the ESPN gizmo of the week. They just showed the cars ON THE TRACK from the very second the session started until the second the red & black flags came out. And they even stuck around for 5 or so extra minutes when the session ran longer than its allotted programming block allowed. Gasp!<BR/><BR/>Plus, this wasn't even Happy Hour and it was still televised anyway, and shown LIVE nonetheless!<BR/><BR/>Thank you very much Speed Channel, I'm glad to have you guys back for the next 6 months covering practice the way it should be covered.stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.com
