No, I hear they're going to "pivot" by the time they reach the 100-day mark. (Which, if we start the count from the first competition, means they'll have all the kinks worked out by Sep. 30.)

N.E. Brigand Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Is the streaming only in the U.S. or only in North America? Wondering about whether fans of Les Stentors from Quebec. Obviously it's hopeless for fans of any European corps taking part in DC(I?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and I'm completely ignoring the challenge of successfully producing the live events. very different than covering typical sports events) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At WGI, there's one camera view, up high. Made me wonder if they know how to do multi-cams. Well, at the T & F events, they have multiple cameramen on the field so that for the 800 M dash, they can follow it and pass it around the track. I'm a hopeful kind of person and I'm hoping that the DCI folks will insist on some close-up cameras and not just a one-view-that's-all-you get. I do believe they have the capability to do that.

Every drumline is impressive so far. Pulse and Music City have to coolest shows but Broken City and RCC have the cleanest drums. I like RhythmX, too.
