Not that I am not gratetful of the UCI's coverage, but these shorts have proved that their coverage leaves out so many good parts of the course. The Norway coverage, apart from the very start, was pretty darn bland. Then I watch this and see how cool everyone said the course was!
They could really use more cameras, or better positioning of the existing ones.
I'm really curious why don't use more RC Chopper cams. They used them in Where The Trail Ends and that footage was incredible. They could have it in areas where they couldn't otherwise post up a camera. Maybe there's logistical and legal reasons why they can't, but just imagine the angles!!!!!!!
Imagine having being in a heli for 2+ hours in spot. Thats hard on the pilot, on the camera man, and on fuel. they would waste a lot of fuel just sitting there, and fuel cost a lot of money, but it would be sick.
The RC Chopper cam could work at Fort William and Pietermaritzberg where there's large open sections, definitely a good idea. But rigging them with all the live feed equipment and keeping them in the air for 3 hours is a problem.
Great edit. Reminds me of the early earthed series of videos. No flashy camera work, no slow mo, no melodramatic bullshit commentary from clay porter, just shredding. Perfect.
