ironbelly Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Who in the hell filmed Sheffields X-Trial? what a load of crap, colours were cold, in my opinion they got all the angles wrong and then switched to different angles right in the middle of a rider doing an important move, then switched to minders Cam?

woody Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Modern filming style is wonderful isn't it. First pioneered by Top Gear years ago (before the current line-up of clowns) when they zoomed in and out, swapped camera angles, tilted the camera shots so many times that you never actually got a clear or complete view of the car they were "showing" you Sheffield must have been using one of their old camera crew. I found the minder cam so innovative and useful that I hit the off button after about 10 minutes - the bit where they switched from Fuji mid-section to show about 15 seconds of Dabill just sitting on his bike waiting his turn was particularly inspired direction too. Like watching paint dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essexukay Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I was at sheffield on the night and hoped to see some sections i couldnt see very well from where i was sitting and i could not beleive how crap they made it look. Camera angles were indeed crap and it turns out i could see better from where i was sitting than watching on tv. why was there no slow motion pics to show the riders body movements. have seen better pictures from a go pro. considering it went down to the last section, there was no build up to make it more compelling.there were no angles to show the height or angles the riders faced........bad bad bad.
