    Big thanks to the Verge for letting us use footage from a great documentary they made years ago about NFL broadcasts. Check it out here: bit.ly/2HYSXFN And thanks to Phil Edwards for inspiring this video with a piece he wrote for Vox.com: bit.ly/2I2iVs8. If you’re interested in this topic, take some time to listen to this really lovely radio documentary made by an audio engineer who works on the Olympics: bit.ly/2jhyzlp -joss

      That's true for any position in film and tv. You don't remember they are there until they mess up. For example, think of your favorite movie. Now who's the editor. Name anyone in the sound department. I believe that the crews that make the media we watch are the unsung heroes of the entertainment industry.

      Maybe you can answer my question then: If the PA is such a problem... why can't they mic it and extract that sound from the rest of the audio? Isn't that possible with digital signal processing?

    • @SoMyungJung
      @SoMyungJung 6 лет назад +35

      It's like yelling in order to have a conversation with someone when you're in a loud club... The signal processing doesn't do much. The proper microphone placement is the key and these pro's are struggling against the PA :P

      It's the same in IT. No one knows about you or really bothers until something breaks, then they hate you cause it broke. Like I've told people when they see me relaxed and say "you've got a lot of free time!" I tell them "yes because when I'm not busy and you are it means my work is good and all is well in IT. It's when I'm busy that means you're not."

    Sounds of the game is honestly part of the reason I'm such a sports fanatic.
    Best sounds in sport:
    1. Crack of a baseball on the bat
    2. Ball hitting the back of a baseball mitt.
    3. Swish of basketball net
    4. Bar down goal in hockey ( see Geno Malkin even though I hate the Pens)
    5. Audibles

    Andrew Stoakley. Back in the late 70s, when I worked for CCR, we did all the away games for the Blue Jays. I was the A1 and had NO assistants. Due to a limited number of inputs (and equipment and time), I'd put out commentary headsets, mount a Sony PBR330 parab on the guy wire holding up the protective fencing, a couple of EV DL42 shotguns on the low 1st and low 3rd cams (cabled mind you because the preamps in the Bosch cameras were useless), a crowd mic hanging out of the commentary booth and are VHF radio lapel on the Jay's 3rd base coach.

    My pet peeve is televised sporting events where the crowd noise is played so loudly you can't hear what the announcers are saying.

    Idk if you guys have ever been on the field during a football game, but it's one of the best sounding environments out there. When you're playing though, you hardly notice.

      More scope for fun: Using ambisonics and making a full-sphere periphonic mix so it sounds like you're standing there. Granted, your listeners would have to use headphones and playback software that supports it to get the full benefit, but it could still be fun and a challenge positioning your sounds in 3D space, not just in a plane or on a line.

    In curling, the entire team is wearing hot mics when it's their turn. I caught one or two uncommentated games during the Olympics, so I just got to listen to the teams strategize the entire game. It was wonderful.

    This goes back a long way. Back in the 1930s in Australia, when broadcasting the cricket on the radio, The ABC's commentators would tap the blunt end of a pencil on their desk when the ball was hit to provide the listeners at home with an audio cue.

    It looks better in your living room, too. Yes, there's something about having the presence on the field surrounded by the best athletes in the world, but the things you see on screen I think captures more details of the overall event than you'd likely pick up on, say, the first base line.
