Twitter: FOX On Field Camera Shots

[catiii]

Fox has made a disturbing habit of showing everything but replays the last couple of months.

It's like the director in the truck has to make sure he uses every camera that he has between every play, we see close ups of players everywhere, on the field and off, but they forget to show the actual replay. Very frustrating.

Yeah closeups of players and no closeups of cheerleaders. The camera director has got the wrong priorities.

Yeah closeups of players and no closeups of cheerleaders. The camera dude must be ..........oh never mind

Us girls always get our way!

I don’t understand how anyone wouldn’t like this, it was the most realistic looking definition I’ve ever seen...felt like you were there

So realistic it looked fake. Hated it. Regular HD is good enough.

I didn't like it.
It looked like video game graphics.

i also thought i was looking at madden on xbox

Awesome, and so is Gallup.

 

[DoctorChicken]

They were exceptional. As a cinematographer, I’ve been wanting the nfl to add something like this for years.

 

[Vanilla2]

This placed would’ve love it if it was Hurts getting the screen tim rather than Gallup

Literally felt like I was dapping up MG and Coop too lol

I bet the same people who didn’t like it also disliked HD when it first came out.

Those shots looked amazing.

Bingo

I call it Bugger cam. Because I swear you could see a bugger it was that clear.

These are shot in 8K

why would that matter? Fox operates at 720p. OTA broadcasts for now can only handle 1080i and I think cable/satellite is 1080p.

To quote Kevin Costner fox has as much use for an 8k camera as "Cat has for pajamas"

It was just a small body cam with probably a 55 mm lens to get that depth of field look. You could tell it was a small cam body because it was bouncing as they moved.

I was watching on an older 1080p TV and it looked ridiculously clear.

How did it look on 4k TVs?

thanks for the link. It still makes no sense the output is what it is. 720p

Made me a little nauseous.

That’s the tequila

they are probably using a scaler. Extron makes a 4K scaler.

the new cameras are incredible.

 

[DuncanIso]

it seems weird to me that broadcasters and cable/satellite providers haven't found a way to broadcast sports in 4K. Every TV you buy now is 4K and it would be a reason for a lot of people to keep a cable/satellite subscription. Why is ESPN 4K not a thing?

probably a bandwidth vs cost trade off.

720p vs 4K is a big difference.

I thought It was awesome

it’s looked real and puts you down on the field like few others game experiences have

I didn’t mind the background effect. I couldn’t take my eyes off the player
