Project: Orienteering & TV in the Future
The goal of the "Orienteering & TV in the Future" project is to increase the quality of TV broadcasts from orienteering races and raise the standards by increasing knowledge and making best practice manuals.
This work includes:
- Gathering information and opinions from TV people/producers
- Gather and "review" previous international and national TV-productions to identify concepts that work/do not work
- Description and practical use of known technical solutions
- Matching disciplines with production concepts - set up "scripts" for TV-productions
- Identify future research & development areas - especially related to technical solutions (e.g. tracking, virtual runners 3D graphics, wireless cameras etc.)
- Get support from as many related groups/people as possible in order to collect information and opinions
One important tool in the project is the webpage orienteering-tv.net. The webpage is a wiki-type page - the project hopes to get a group of contributors building up knowledge in this field which is very important for the future of the sport.
The following is the planned content:
- Historical overview of TV broadcasts from orienteering events
- Collected opinions about good/bad TV from orienteering races
- Publications about orienteering and TV
- TV-suitability of different orienteering disciplines
- Use of GPS in TV-productions: Best practice manual/tips
- Best practice manual for TV and orienteering
The project is non-profit and lead by Jan Kocbach. Please contact Jan Kocbach on e-mail if you are interested in contributing to the project. In its initial form the project is planned to have no running costs.
