Logistically, you carry a camera around stage end, stand still and film. It's all about timing and being LIVE. But a good thought - image the camera man going around the car every time and finding noting, tripping on a cable or a dumwit walking into the camera man... waste of time
The problem with onboard cameras is that there is a very thin line between perfect and useless.
Breen this weekend was shaking on full throttle so much it was like watching under water.
Lappi "slightly" from side, meant that it always looked he was massively sideways on every left corner.
If you want to know why they show the rear side window with the names, then it's the smoothest way to move from the front of the car past the driver's door, which would be opened behind the cameraman, while he is showing the names.
By going around the car from left to right you'd most likely end up having quite many of the photographers, reporters and whoever else in the shot once they get to the driver's side.
Quote from commentator Desborough during Finland power stage... "Just listen to that engine, sounds fantastic !"... then proceeds to continue to talk all over it... :(
This Pierre Budar interview is TV magic.
Missed it, what was said?
Image quality during the live power stage was really awful.
