I suspect after the way that Seth MacFarlane was eviscerated no one is going to want to host the show next year. This has turned into one of the worst jobs on earth along with President of the United States and Super Bowl Halftime...

Yea 2009 is still most recent high watermark. But of the last three shows this was the best. Anne and Franco was rock bottom. Alec and Steve Martin not much better. Seth did as good as can be hoped given the tired formula.

Pretty sure Paul is mixing in 5.1. Oscars has been 5.1 since 2003. That being said vocals during music numbers sound odd. Something strange going on in that Les Mis thing. PQ is exceptional as usual.

Yea because most of those shows are built in specific trucks. It would be pretty crazy to have say Sunday Night Football have to jump to another truck midseason after the entire show has been built for ND3. You could probably get away...

ESPN's studio programming (at least what originates from Bristol) has a tendency to pull toward red in the skin tones. You really notice the difference on split-screen live shots where one talent is at another site, the difference in...

Monday Night Football uses SuperShooter 25 outfit and pretty much has since the show debuted on ESPN in 2006 (although the truck itself has been upgraded a number of times throughout the years). Same goes with ND3 Sunday Night Football's...

Yes but the big boy cinematographers aren't actually going to use it by and large, except maybe for some insert work. That's the point. Blackmagic isn't trying to be a competitor to the EPIC or Alexa. Not at a $3,000 price point. They're...

From Philip Bloom's review of the BMD Camera (which to my knowledge still hasn't shipped). Quote:Canon lens mount not ideal for this size sensor Micro four thirds mount is passive so no iris control Bad rolling shutter issues, not as...
