- 4/24 2:18 pm - Really great job all around! Switching between cameras is well-timed. Floor camera movement is subtle and stable. Announcers are clearly very knowledgeable and have great energy. Sound is mixed well. Awesome work!
- 4/23 9:19 am - Good event to cover. Nice cutting between high camera and floor camera, and good job including the score in the lower third with an additional camera and picture-in-picture. Announcers provide good coverage. Cameras are very dark. Need to open the iris up more, if possible. I know the environment is dark, but see if adjustments can be made. Great to have replay coverage.
Judge 1
Positives: Great camera placement keeping the cameras at eye level and close to the center and corners to get all angles of the takedowns. Talent was knowledgeable about the sport and audio of natural mics outside of just the announcer mics were present to hear the fans reactions and whistle from the officials.
Improvements: The camera brightness levels seemed to be a little low, by adding a little extra iris or gain can help with this. Although the talent were very knowledgeable, there were a few moments where they would talk over each other and during the last pin, they were excited but not clear on explaining to the viewer why that should be something they should be excited about.
Judge 2
Positives: - Announcers clearly know the sport - good job being prepared and explaining to the viewers what is happening. - Good job by the director of picking moments to cut down to the low cam to help us see the action but then being ready to cut back to the up cam when the referee gets in the way or the wrestlers get to their feet.
Improvements: - The whole thing is pretty dark. I get that the lighting in the gym is significantly reduced, but make sure you have your camera irises as far open as they will go to help the viewers be able to better see what is happening.
Judge 3
Positives: Announcers were exciting, but need to realize that they should be neutral. Also, the tended to speak over each other, which added to the excitement, but it was a bit confusing. Director made all of the shots. Good close ups.
Improvements: Close up camera could have been tighter. Don’t worry about the scoreboard, it was inserted in the frame. No need to see it twice.
