MotoGP.com camera men SUCK

Oop! Lornzo's Down in 11!

Anyway, is anybody else watching Laguna on MotoGP.com annoyed by the shitty camera work? Wide shot to mega-closeup, wide shot to mega-closeup back & forth from all corners!
Shitty

More likely a bad director than bad cameraman.

Agreed; I was distracted by Lorenzo's high-side.

They do tend to zoom a lot, but it's pretty normal.

Pretty bad highside from Lorenzo on the outlap. He stopped right in front of where I was sitting and did a practice start and then one corner later crashed!!

Corner 5 highside, very bad, old Lorenzo style, down for the count... He was helped off the track but under his own steam.. Hope he is ok!

They are terrible....I like the WSBK coverage....who ever produces it provides great audio of the exhaust....snicking thru the gears, down shifting, etc....it really gives you an idea when their on the gas, when their not...if it was a bit louder and they coincided the camera video w/ the audio more often that would be great!
But all in all GP has issues w/ the way they bring a race to the audience....and get rid of Creamer please...stay w/ the Euro feed....we don't need Creamer's little editorials....

I did like the helicopter shots. The racing sounds were so loud you could barely hear the announcers, which was a good thing.

Announcing at events is a waste of time. All they want to do is say anything and say it loud and with speakers that only work in treble. You can't hear them anyway so why even bother? One time I wanted to shoot the speakers at Infineon.

Aside from track announcers the ones we use for the USGP suck! Wheres Gavin Emmett and his partner? Sorry, but Scott Russell should stick with AMA and so should his co-announcer. Its clear they don't have the knowledge of MotoGP nor the announcing style to make the race both interesting and exciting. Its a joke.

yeah the only thing nice about MotoGP is that they are using HD cameras. It'll be nice when WSBK goes to HD cameras.
