  • More low standards on the BBC

    From John Williamson@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 3 17:37:24 2022
    A split screen clip of two people watching a basketball game. They both
    get excited and stand up after one team scores, so far so good. Then the
    head of the taller person is lost above the frame top.

    Can they not afford a cameraman now? It would only take a small nudge to
    move it and reframe, even if it's remote controlled.

    This is, supposedly, an event almost on a par with the Olympics for
    goodness' sake. :-/

    And the Daily Mail would make a fuss about having a cameraman standing
    around in case they had to slightly move the camera.

    According to the adverts, they need a Meta Portal which can pan tilt and
    turn to follow the person. Mind you it is made by the company who brings you Facebook.

    Sale and lease back. Not a particularly new or original idea.
