Channel 7 motor sport directors in Australia

Q: Why do I have to continually swear at the TV when I watch motorsport on channel 7 AU
A: Because those poor directors are so dominated by advertising directives they cant shoot motor sport the way they would really like ( i hope) instead they have to  ZOOM in on a a vehicle moving at 200KMPH+ and pan with the  travelling billboard.

Australia's motoring fraternity has been lulled into a impactionistless approach to sport.

We do it because of sponsor obligation I hear.

I dont hear "I like watching traveling bilboards" from any of the fans

I say lets do it differently like in car camera technological improvements we pioneered as Aussies .

I am happy to help I could shoot Bathurst with 20 fixed camers and 5 roamin plus on board
probably wouldn't pan into the roll cage or look at the drivers helmet while passing  either

Is it my imagination or has tv sport just not worth watching these days

I mean even the WRC (world rally championship) has minimal coverage in Australia and I mean minimal like start and finish with some English WOMEN telling us how upset what-his-name is because Loeb keeps on besting him.

And that holy grail of European rough stuff soccer (football) is shot in the most boring way, wide and way to long before we see the footwork.

I say lets enhance the sport experience for our TV watchers and let the principals of photography and movie making open up a whole world of impact on our poor mans screen for TV sport fans.
