Showcase Showdown Camera Angle

(1/2) > >>

grimmte:
Watching the Showcase Showdown today, I noticed that as the wheel came to a stop, the way the camera was positioned on it looked a little different. It started on an incline and as the wheel stopped it positioned itself normally. Have they done it this way before?

 I don't want to get into the eternal "Is this really a spoiler?" debate but since no results were spoiled, how could this be a spoiler?

Anyhow, I noticed that as well.  Even though the camera presented a very cool angle of the wheel, I hope it's a one time deal.

I hope you're kidding about this.  A possible new camera angle is now spoiler-worthy?  No game content or results were revealed, after all.

It seems like it will be a permanent thing; someone who was there at the 12/8 taping said they were doing it then, as per a post at the Golden Road.  When I first saw it, I thought that Bart caught one of the cameramen offguard.  I perhaps could have tolerated it for a MDS, but I don't like it as an everyday thing.

The new camera angle has been used for several weeks of taping and is still being used, with minor adjustments. The intent is to have the home viewer see more of the numbers that are approaching the pointer.
