This is painful. I can't go to my kid's game, and now I have to watch it on a system that has clearly never been tested.
That was awful. Glad I didn’t pay for it I guess and I know Naz is already on it but come on. If you’re not going to sell tickets you need to come up with a better solution than that automatic camera. I’ll donate the yearly ticket sales I’d pay for me and mine to go to games!
You can get the whole court in on the camera, you cant get the whole Football field in, you need a live person operating the camera for Football. So many missed plays with the camera not following the play its infuriating.
No the camera followed the action on the basketball court flawlessly. Obviously it’s much much easier for the camera to follow the basketball in the much smaller arena then a football outside but it wasn’t just simply a wide shot of the full court. Sadly it was a swing and miss today but there was some sort of technical issue as it sometimes followed the play and sometimes watched the other side of the field. I agree a human filmer would be better.
My youngest was too small for football (his mom would not sign off) He was determined to be on the team so on the first day of school back in 2017 he asked the coach what he could do for the team and now he is a senior and is now filming his 4th season of games AND practices. Very proud of him for getting involved, staying involved and contributing! Go Dukes!
Yes, the automated camera isn't perfect. For schools that don't have broadcast programs, it's a good option. We (Boylan) had problems with our automated camera yesterday and ended up pulling out our camera, computer, Mixer, etc, and doing the game manually. There were two of us doing a four-man job. camera/color and Producer/play-by-play. It wasn't perfect, but we were expecting a large viewing audience so we got it done. Technology is great until it doesn't work. No complaints here. Just enjoying high school football once again!
