Came across this info. To think there were days past when a human hand mixed feeds from four cameras….

I hate things shot in progressive/ filmlook. It’s just blurred….

As soon as it came on, although I was expecting the news, my wife Hannah said to me, “Gosh, just look at that, is it on film? And all those cameras, isn’t it lovely?”

I did wonder, as some of the cuts were badly timed, whether it was a Director self-drive on the desk?
Paul Thackray
It’s all timed to the music, so it’s the talent that are not in time…..

The recap of the winning song (Switzerland) at Eurovision 2024 was not a restaging of the main performance: Nemo just pranced around the stage – and finally we got to see cameras and cranes in shot! This year’s performance was remarkable for NOT having any camera (obviously) in shot during the fast- paced cutting, but the recap seemed to be a bit ad-hoc. Here are some screen captures (from YouTube and iPlayer) with the two main techno cranes (at least) in shot:
This last one adjusted a little to make the cranes clearer…) Personally I did not notice any difference with the transmission being in 25p..

You might find this of interest Eurovision behind the scenes
(Especially the VM section) As has been said by others, too many shots and excessive cutting! Automated is not always better.
