OMG the camerawork

I honestly expected more- neither one of them really sold it to me. Also lots of small bobbles but I could have overlooked those better if they were selling it more.

 

[StitchMonkey]

and another cell phone call.

 

[moriel]

The camera operator should be beaten with his own camera.

 

[LRK]

Is mother calling again? Or is it someone else this time?

 

[tulosai]

The camera operator should be beaten with his own camera.

I think he or she doesn't understand at all how to film a pairs team.

 

[moriel]

Aso was it just me or they had a sec hockey break?????

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

As if I didn't like Zhenya and Vladimir enough already... they come out and do a "Lord Of The Dance" routine!!!

Loved the wee Michael Flatfoot impression they put in in the middle too! Don't think I didn't notice!

Ah, time for another phone call!

Isn't this the first time we have got replays today?

Time for the third Dodds of the day...

It was most definitely not just you.

 

[tulosai]

Oh dear this team... (sorry to the Australian fans but...)

 

[Sackie]

So RUS should go 1,2,3 here. Unless I/M have really improved over the last few months.

While i'm very angry with the camera person, i have a feeling that its not his/her fault.
It gives me impression that they picked a random person from the street, and the poor being is learning slowly - like replays etc. Also, now it seems to record both skaters (maybe someone told its a pair tings and both should be filmed, not just a random one of the pair).

Yes this was much better in terms of filming.

Unfortunately this pair is just painful to watch for me. Everything is bad, everything, from music to costumes to spin positions to jumps to lifts. Unbelievably, they were worse than last week.

Yeah and it should turn its phone off as well. Duh.
