"what's with sports tv recent obsession with full body shots and weird..."


          

camera angles?

I feel like it’s started during the pandemic with the Fox football crew being outside but it seemed like it quickly expanded to studio shows on ESPN and other networks too.

I’m looking at ESPN’s college basketball show and instead of the usual 4 guys behind the desk it’s got 4 people sitting around a square table with you looking at the backs of 2 guys heads. They’ve experimented back and forth with this setup for their nba shows too.

Some peoples’ shoe game need work and it’s obvious some of them thought they would be sitting behind a desk when they came to work lol

ESPN college basketball is still experimenting with different looks, 2 days ago they had 3 guys sitting at an desk at an angle so no one one has their back to the camera, today they have 4 guys sitting on stools side by side with no desk lol

they've switched up their NBA studio shows too

doesn’t go that route.

ESPN has always been experimental, so It just a matter of them exercising
new camera angles and setups. ESPN changes their set every year or so,
where as FOX sports goes with the same set up every year with their sport
shows.

For the record, podcasts suck when it comes to sports news and sports shows.
Podcasts are okay for stories and interviews, but even that becomes less exclusive
and comes off as sports barbershop talk.


There are so many sports news wannabes with these twitch feeds and podcasts
that a lot of it comes off as TMZ gossip, but the scary thing is people are taking it
in as real journalism.

Yeah its crazy everyone calls themselves a "reporter" now I feel sorry for the people that actually labored through journalism school

You either get a voice or a head with a lot of sports content on the internet these days, and the pandemic really exacerbated just how close a lot of the really big news/reaction shows whether its sports or politics were to your average internet production other than the budget put into the set and graphic design (which some producer went on record during an episode of The Press Box podcast a few years ago as admitting most sets are purely the result of C-suite dudes and producers trying to one up other networks) so they think, let's lose the desk or the tie or SOMETHING


'Cause it's either that or turn up the volume and make everyone Screamin' A. or Woj in their eyes. I've already seen bars in the mid-damn-west playing Twitch streamers (yea, of video games) or Youtube highlight packages rather than ESPN/Fox/etc. There's a big reckoning coming with media rights and the dudes that have to think hard about that are trying, incremental as they can, to figure out what if any solution there is. Exposed legs is, like, an IDEA, right? You can sell sock and shoe sponsorships off that, y'know?
