Sunshinesdad Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Again in Swindon/Poole match, Sky show starts from camera at the front. Apart from the fact that the rider in 4 was totally obscured by the fence, it is impossible to see any jump-starts! But they do have a side camera which they use to replay false starts! Surely this camera should be used for all race starts, before a switch to rear camera for the bend? What do you guys think? D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarCrazy Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 They should have it on the second bend like they do for the GP's and world cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I think it's fine because it gives you a more constant view of the race to the first bend. Better than switching view in my opinion. Any moves and so on can be seen clearly in replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 We get all camera views in the course of a meeting so don't see the issue personally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Could they not show both camera pictures on the screen for a few seconds at the start of the race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I think they could be a bit more innovative with some of their angles, the coverage hasn't really come on in the last 15 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I don't have Sky but someone has let me borrow the Peterborough v Glasgow match and I was puzzled why the Peterborough start girls hold the boards upside down? Presumably the other side has the gate positions or is coloured red, blue, white and yellow for the riders position but surely the bit facing the camera should be the right way up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is for the benefit of viewers in Australia 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiseguy Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 the only thing I don't like is when they show the guy who is half a lap clear at the front with no one near him but totally ignore the battle for the race for 2nd/3rd happens more on Swedish to be honest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimmy Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I hate it when they show it down the home straight just before turn 1 just to show how fast they are going..there's been numerous occasions when you miss overtaking on bend 4 and bend 1..very annoying !!

KEITH M Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Again in Swindon/Poole match, Sky show starts from camera at the front. All I saw on Monday was Sky showing pictures of Darcy from the front, the back, the side and any other angle they could find Edited July 15, 2015 by KEITH M 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 The amount of cameras used in coverage this year has dropped by 2 so the director does have a couple less options to use. It also has to be considered that the camera used on the startline and also inside first bend is often setup in SloMo mode so can't be used for live insert maybe we could look at having a fixed position camera in that area. But will pass on the feedback for you all Not sure if any of the more technical minded viewers have noticed we have started using a ultra slo Mo camera to use for inserts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
