Camera Work
Some of the camera work tonight has been abysmal. There have been several occasions where I have been looking at an almost empty ice rink with only half the skaters bodies in picture.
Every time they use the track camera running alongside the side of the rink half of what you see is the track the camera is running on. |

I agree with you. You tend to see the exciting bits during the replay at the end!!

In Heidi's routine, the cut from long-shot to overhead shot to long-shot at the end meant you couldn't see what was happening at all.

I posted a separate thread tonight on the same subject.
The ridiculous camera angles on this series are really spoiling the programme for me. The long distance shots and the aerial shots looking down on the dancers heads are the worst. There also seems to be a continuity problem when coming away from one shot during a routine to another angle, it often appears as though a piece of the routine was missed. |

I agree - the camera work is dreadful.
And I dont much like the patterns on the ice - half the time you cant see the skaters.

I'm sure the effects on the ice are technologically brilliant, but they render aerial shots absolutely useless. You cannot differentiate the skaters from the patterns.

I thought tonight especially with there being so much off ice faffing in the routines prior to them actually starting to skate plus the disjointed camera angles meant that I felt I hardly saw any actual skating |

Agree with both the camera work (we don't want 'arty', we just want to see the skaters dancing!) and the designs on the ice - I like them to look at, but wish they would remove them just before the skaters start their routines.

Yes the overhead shots are stupid and distracting! And as others have said you din't want to see an empty rink.
Surely they could get the camera angles sorted in rehearsals

Absolutely agree, I thought it was just me (due to having poor sight) but interesting that others find the same

Been thinking this for a long time. Irritates me that they do so many long shots where you miss a lot of what they're doing. Very poor.

The camera shot always changes just as the skaters are about to do a spectacular lift or other movement - one they have sign-posted in the VT before the routine. Then we don't see it.

Camera Work Abysmal. They are trying to do the same as SCD and have obviously not bothered to read the SCD forum where people complain about camera work! We dont want this stupid long distance stuff we want to see what they can actually do. Whilst it may "glam it up" it actually detracts from the point of the show.
