There's a significant difference between making excellent pure sound rally videos which are from 5 to 10 minutes long and a five-day rally production in the Alps (MTV3 will broadcast 6,5 hours of footage from Monte). Second thing I wonder is how are they going to redistribute the material, NOS had massive satellite equipment to do that. Does ES have those systems?Quote:

I don't particularly miss NOS broadcasts because after 2007 they became quite monotonous and too mainstream orientated, luckily here in Finland we didn't have anything like Paul King's "OH WOW NOW HE CRASHED!!" live action hard supreme super-exiting hardcore extreme commentary. I "miss" NOS productions because they had money and resources. Did they do the best job? No they didn't. Can someone do better? For sure.
And just to comment on that sponsor visibility, they *have* to show those banners, that's why the sponsors give money - do you really think that the majority of funders gives money because it's nice to support rally? 90% doesn't give a sh*t about rallying, they fund our sport because they want visibility.
I just wonder what footage you have been watching, nothing like that here in Finland except maybe some 15-minute mini review shows at 3am... "Awful onboard angles", well why don't you go and do better when FIA and teams are whining. Too much un-needed weight, cameras and cables distracting and causing inconvinience to crew, etc etc. Atleast NOS had specialized WRC onboard camera equipment which enabled to receive power from car's electrical system (no need for main batteries), enabled us to hear the intercom audio and supported multiple cameras. I really don't see what's the matter with for example this onboard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2LIE0onlKk (maybe wider angle lenses would have been good...)
And finally, I guess there's never going to be a rally broadcast good enough. Hardcore fans always see the footage and commentary as too mainstream. Shame that rally enthusiasts don't come in such numbers as for example ice hockey or football enthusiasts. Atleast 70% are "Sunday followers" who thought Kimi could win.
no...we would have the best possible driving the wrc ones and i would sent the sick dogs in the lesser divisions to play....the supporters caring about nobodies like wilson, al Raihjls and the rest could join them.Quote:
