2018 had the Brock/Roman forever feud, Constable Corbin being the main character of the show and Dean Ambrose doing the crowd is poo poo stinky gimmick.

2018 had the start of the KSA shows, bringing Hulk Hogan back minus a proper apology, Shawn Michaels coming out of retirement for a shitshow of a match, and Vince McMahon trying to get Jon Moxley say something so horrific about his IRL friend Roman Reigns' cancer scare that in Mox's words would have lost them sponsors.

I just don’t like when someone calls the tracking shots impressive. It’s live tv, it’s not impressive to just walk with a camera. What makes tracking uncut shots impressive in movies is that it’s usually one complex scene that’s being done in one take. The traffic jam scene from Weekend is impressive because of the pure scope and length of broken down and damaged cars as well as extras, not because they filmed for a long time.

when I think crazy amazing uncut shots, this is my go to

ok time for a headcount - who here has experience with live broadcast or otherwise television production?

I used to be a producer for a morning show at KPLC. Before that I was an editor for the same show. We broadcast live five days a week and when I quit I was producing before and during a two and a half hour broadcast.

Well then please clarify for me if I’m being an idiot or not. I’m not saying producing live tv isn’t impressive. I just think that the actual act of the single camera take isn’t as impressive as a lot of people make it out to be. Especially a show like raw where they’re filming the same stuff they always film just without having clear separation from the individual segments. If I’m off base that’s fine. I’m just curious.

A few years of school but never worked professionally, it's an impressive shot technically but that's also what makes it look a bit dumb because it's a long tracking shot with a bunch of choreography for something that's meant to feel natural.

Yeah, I was in radio and TV production, mostly in news and live events. I also was involved in filming and behind-the-scenes stuff at my old local independent fed.

I don't say that to pretend to have authority or anything, I just like talking about this stuff. It's fun :)

if you are filming through multiple locations with one camera while moving, it's much harder to shoot as you also have to worry about stuff like keeping the focus and exposure correct (moving through different lighting setups) and also you have to worry about cable length if you're wired, or interference if you're wireless.

Some TV production experience, but nothing live. Filmed some interviews for a uni course in an old TV studio, and was part of a small crew that filmed a segment for a kid’s show that was edited and broadcast later.

Again I never said that the actual camera operation or running a live show isn’t tough, I just don’t think what it produces is any more impressive than what they already do on a weekly basis, and just seems like a cheap trick to make people think this is some high level cinema.
