I hope that gets sorted too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope that gets sorted too. I don't know, I prefer it offset to the centre of the car. What they should introduce is cockpit cams like they had for some races in 2012 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ukfan758 0 Posted February 19, 2015 Does anyone know what type of cameras FOM uses for their world feed? I'm asking this because their cameras seem to not be smooth when following a car (they seem to shake or chop slightly, instead of being steady) while at the Monaco GP and American motorsport races like Indycar and Nascar use this type of camera to broadcast and their shots are smooth and steady. While I think FOM uses this type of camera (mounted on a tripod):Also, why did FOM not switch to HD until 2011? Nascar and other sports switched back in the mid 2000s.

MBKF1 91 Posted February 19, 2015 I see what you mean actually with the smoothness of shots! Just watched highlights from Catalunya in both F1 and MotoGP and the shots do seem smoother generally for MotoGP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f1since08 60 Posted February 19, 2015 The HD thing is because of the fact f1 is broadcast in third world countries. Thats why the graphics only became widescreen in 2012. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure that's true. Pretty sure HD can still be broadcast in SD. It was most likely a money thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MBKF1 91 Posted February 23, 2015 You may or may not have already seen this but this video is a great insight into how the Formula 1 TV show is made! It's the first 20 mins of BBC's 2010 Singapore GP coverage, showing all 3 cameras, the main TV feed and it also has the director's speech too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BheV32Xe_W8You have to admire Jake here, I don't know how he does it! He's able to talk perfectly with the director talking in his ear, whilst looking at whatever camera he needs too, also thinking of ideas of how the cameras should begin sections (walking around the McLaren/mentioning that Alonso is getting ready behind him then cutting to a shot of him). Really interesting stuff personally! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MBKF1 91 Posted March 12, 2015 The new updated Formula1.com website is now live! Looks much better than the previous one and after 12 years it was about time they had a change. It looks great, and it works well on iPad and mobile, and the apps are good too! There's a new F1 Access section too which if you pay a monthly fee gives you more features. It looks very good so I might consider getting it. Also it looks like we're gonna be treated to some brand new FOM TV graphics tomorrow so it'll be good to see how they look during a live session, and what new features they may integrate in the coverage.

MBKF1 91 Posted March 12, 2015 I'm expecting their YouTube channel to feature the same stuff as they already have on the app/website. I can't see them adding any extra stuff just for YouTube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted March 13, 2015 Without the list on the left of who's where it's just crap. They aren't even showing who's in P1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VetteIfan 0 Posted March 13, 2015 Yeah, hopefully they'll have a leaderboard on the side of the screen in qualifying. Although it's a bit weird why they wouldn't apply it in the practice sessions if they had that graphic available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f1since08 60 Posted March 13, 2015 From the brief six minutes of footage I've seen, I like the new graphics. It would be nice to have driver numbers back though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is just the first race though, it might make a comeback later on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AyrotonS296 0 Posted March 15, 2015 I was looking up F1 stuff the other day and when I clicked on the website, it said error 404, so I looked for it on Google, and they have released a new website, and in my opinion, i hate it, its taken everything away from the old website, like the results from 50's, 60's, 70's & 80's. Its to much, they should have kept the old website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
