ESPN's Camera Work / Production Group Sucked

[WinOneThisCentury]

That may have been the worst camera editing I've ever witnessed during a college football game. Was anyone else annoyed as hell that they would show KF or Canada on the sidelines for like 40 straight seconds, then cut to the play just as the ball was being snapped? My god, who gives a crap about the sideline reporter pushing an auto or eating a freaking shake.

I want to see what personnel groups are in the game, formations, and how the defense is reacting and half the time the camera was just getting to the action right before the snap. Someone who doesn't understand football was making those camera decisions. They were going for artsy shots...and I'm like what the sam hell are they doing.

Frustrating...If I want artsy camera work...I'll get on Netflix and pull up Citizen Kane or Fellini.

We saw a lot of Canada. So much so that it reminded me that Durkin's job status is still in limbo. If you are not a Iowa or Maryland fan the game was kind of a snoozer. Not saying i agree. but I understand why they went to the sideline reporter for little antidotes here and there.

I stick to the radio call unless it’s the late game.

I was irritated during the Indiana game when they would show field goals from the side.

The guy who said Trick or Treat Iowa City! had a prepared line that was something like Room Service in Iowa City! after the defensive score.


EDIT
okay here it is:
