World Cup Liberec Middle 2011 TV footage analysis
Below is provided an overview of the TV footage from World Cup Liberec Middle 2011.
Summary
Map with camera positions
Worked well
- Used many of the elements available in an orienteering broadcast
- One of the best use of preproduced material/intro-graphics seen so far with
- HeadCam video (not synchronized with map, though)
- 3D Flyover of map
- 2D Preview of course / TV splits
- Routechoice alternatives comparison (premade material)
- Full startlist, weather-info etc.
- Good, long TV sections in nice forest where the runners look fast and in their right element
- GPS often shown for the same leg (the long leg) to get viewers used to this leg
Did not work well
- Several "smaller" details: Graphics with runner names / running time sometimes comes too late (spotters missing?), broke off in the middle of 2D course preview due to camera footage coming up, some technical problems with GPS data, not always best choice of which runners to show on GPS etc.
- Why no GPS replay of medalists / decision for gold? Maybe due to technical problems with some GPS-routes?
Lessons to be learned
- Even better use of GPS should be possible?
