For the second year in a row, I’ve managed to screen all the Oscar nominees in all 24 categories before the ceremony – 59 films in total this year. Likewise, my picks and predictions are included below. I’ve posted this every year since 2012, so you can follow my track record from past years. I’ve […]
As always, my annual Oscar picks are here to once again serve as your cheat sheet to winning your Oscar-guessing contests with some commentary on my favorites thrown in for good measure. After several years of barely failed attempts, this year marks the first time I successfully screened all 62 nominees in all 24 categories, including the often […]
My annual Oscar picks are here to once again serve as your cheat sheet to winning your Oscar-guessing contests with some commentary on my favorites thrown in for good measure. I screened every single nominee this year in all 24 categories, with the sole exception of Foreign Language Nominee Embrace of the Serpent, currently in only limited […]
My annual Oscar picks are here to once again serve as your cheat sheet to winning your Oscar-guessing contests with some commentary on my favorites thrown in for good measure. The past two years, I’ve guessed 20 out of 24 categories correctly (16 out of 24 from three years ago) and once again screened nearly […]
It’s that time again… My annual Oscar picks are here to serve as your cheat sheet to winning your Oscar-guessing contests with some commentary on my favorites thrown in for good measure. I’ve personally screened every nominee, with the sole exceptions of Omar and The Missing Picture, so this should be a pretty comprehensive lineup. Last […]
Last year’s attempt to live blog and live tweet my favorite Super Bowl commercials was thwarted by a power outage, not only in New Orleans, but also moments thereafter by an exploding transformer just down the road from me. Here’s hoping this year goes smoother… My favorites from Super Bowl 48 are below. Check back […]
I present to you – 4 director’s commentaries for any sensibility or taste!
These are my favorites and each of them has as much rewatch value as the respective film itself.
If you’re the type who can’t bring yourself to listen to an audio commentary, keep reading anyway. I’ve chosen a non-traditional set here, so at least one of these will appeal to you.
In keeping with tradition, I’m releasing my top picks of last year rather late in the calendar. The rush of films released in December means I like to take some time to catch up and produce a list that’s more comprehensive. Just how it goes if you want an accurate list. Most of my top 15 are films I […]
Part 3 begins a look at what other crew members are busy with behind-the-scenes. Most of these people are “on the truck” in the parking lot.
In the fast pace of sports broadcasting, each individual crew member needs to know their role in literally hundreds of situations before the broadcast even begins. There’s often not enough time to tell everyone what to do. It helps when the crew members have experienced years of practice and exposure to new situations so that they always know what to do without a plethora of guidance during the game.
That is to say: a solid, experienced crew is just as important as its leaders.
Obviously, when covering a MLB game on FSN, NESN, MASN, Root Sports, or ESPN there are more than 5 cameras. We’ve already discussed how these additional cameras are only used for about 15% of shots – and mostly just during replays at that.
We also talked about a few basic ways to supplement the 5-6 camera setup. Now, we’re looking at some of the places you stash the excess cameras in a high budget broadcast to get the best angles.
