Watching some of the 10 ball last night.

I was watching some of the 10 ball last night and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Before going to bed I decided to flip on an old accu stats match from 1993 on youtube. It only took a few minutes to see the difference.

The production of this almost 30 year old accu stats match was way superior to what I had just been watching. It was primarily due to the camera work.

The camera work with the 10 ball tournament is, to just be honest, terrible. You feel like you're watching the match through hidden security cameras.

Don't get me wrong I'm glad it's on, but the overall production is really poor. I realize they're not the NFL or pro golf who win awards for their production, but does it really have to be this bad.

Are you referring to the main feed or all the three to four separate streamers that have been their doing it table side with their own equipment and cost?
 
Just put up an overhead camera above 3-4 tables and give us the option to watch more matches. Not real hard to do.

Race to 10 for all matches and to 13 semis and final. They can still finish the tournament in 3 days easy.

Yeah I wonder if that’s what he’s watching. The camera work on the main stream has been very good. The camera operators clearly are pool players who know what to look at. At worst, sometimes they’ll show the shot but not switch to the overhead view to see where the cue ball is traveling, and once or twice when the portable camera was moving they left it on and so you saw a bouncing camera aimed at the floor or something. But those have been very rare and 99% of the time it’s been great.

I don't know, it has the introduction and commercial ads almost between every game.

The only ones with commercials has been the Table 1 main stream. The production doesn't look anything like a hidden security camera or a cheap stream from a phone cam. They definitely don't use a boom camera like accu-stats but it is a different type of production.
