Worst camera work in history?

Post by gringo »

My head is still spinning. It was like the cameras were being manned by drunk ferrets. Let's not try and reinvent the wheel channel 7. f*** me.
Like sand through the hour glass, so are the days at the Essendon Football Club.

Adelaide didn't have television when Football Park was built. Some of those camera angles were shithouse.

And darting around fully zoomed in, like trying to follow a pinball around the table. It was either shot by a bunch of 12 year olds on a handycam, or a bunch of half cut uni students from Channel 31.

Have to agree. several times they missed the bounce. Too much focus on trying to catch Craig swearing and the Mars camera is a f***'n joke. In fact their whole coverage is a f***'n joke
Too far for Baker now he's on to it, now he’s got it, OPEN GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dons are in front by one point at the 8 minute mark

They are a Nightmare.
Changing camera angles for the sake of it.No continuity.
Missing play.
One minute kicking to the right,then left,then no idea.
One big headache.
To think we have to suffer five more years with no alternative.

Truly shit. Still better than the shit coming out of Bruce's mouth. And Harley for that matter.

And one where Fletcher kicked it in loooong (I think 1st quarter) and I assume the camera man wanted to show the fall of the ball, but it was clearly coming down 10m out of shot, all the players were running out of the shot but the camera stayed on nothing.
