From the Super Bowl halftime show to the Oscars, many of us grew up on awards shows and other live TV events. And without realizing it, we've grown used to the sweeping drop of the camera in front of a news anchor or the way it soars through a crowd during a concert. There's a specific look and feel that we've come to expect while watching events like these.
Live events weren't always captured this way. In fact, there is a specific time in history when this aesthetic became possible, and our TV-watching experience was never the same again.
In this video, we dive into the history, technology, and mastery behind the camera moves that have shaped television as we know it. We meet the people who’ve built their legacy on this aesthetic as we go behind the scenes to understand its origins, its purpose, and how the way a camera moves has so much to do with the way it makes us feel.
Nice video overall, though some of the assertions here are weird. The tone makes it sound like there were no live TV crane shots in TV before the 90s, which isn’t the case. You can see cranes all over live TV from the 50s and 60s. It’s fair to say that this more fluid style of jib shot became more common in the 90s when both cameras and cranes got smaller, but it’s inaccurate to say nothing like this ever existed in live TV before then.
“The small but growing TV industry” - in the 80s? It was hardly a small industry then. Why the hyperbole?
Television exploded in the 80s because of cable. Prior to that it was a much smaller pool of content and talent with only the major networks.
what an underrated channel! amazing work
I don’t understand. They didn’t invent the “jib”, they just bought one. Shouldn’t the credit be given to the makers of the “jib”? What weren’t they mentioned?
The inventor rarely gets the credit. It's the person who puts the invention to use and makes it common place.
What don’t you understand? Do you celebrate the works of Da Vinci or the inventor of the paintbrush? Mozart’s compositions or the inventor of the piano? Shakespeare’s plays or the people who built the Globe theater?
@@JohnDoe-wh7is its obviously ok to celebrate both lol
This is tremendous- when he teared up that was wholesome! Bravo ! Subbed.
Got me crying!
Thank you for this great exposition
Fantastic mini doc!
Simply amazing!
Very cool story of innovation in an industry that's largely insular and stagnant most of the time... I'd love a follow up about the Red Camera Company (recently purchased by Nikon) and how it went from rogue rebel outsider to industry standard in less than a decade easily breaking the Panavision/Hollywood monopoly that seemed to have kept the industry beholden to a single rental company for decades unless the filmmaker was independent enough to push for Arriflex and a different style although..
awesome stuff
They should have mentioned the work of Johnny LaRue in championing crane shots.
🎥 😁👏
you guys looked into animated jibs that can have a preset animation and moves automatically?
@@itzliamnowthat’s called motion control.
The crying felt like a skit…
Are we going to forget when Kermit the frog was on a jimmy jab?
Oh, can't express what I feel about this tv gear romantics. I wanted to work there so much, but still didn't really succeed because of personal circumstances. How jealous I am, oh...
But now all of that seem to be on the edge. New tech, AI, all that's killing old world. And that's what I'm so afraid of.
