The camera work on the two cultural salutes by Tonga and Samoa was a perfect example of how not to film it. Dreadful. Too close and got no real sense of it.
Looking at that, and how they do the video replays, I don't think the producers have ever seen rugby league before. Rugby league, on the whole, is best seen from a distance.
It’s really funny you mention this slugger and it’s never come up before but you are totally right
I’ve thought this for years too, a haka / Sipi tau / siva tau is an incredible part of our game but it’s absolutely key to get good camera work
I think it’s a 1/5ish chance that you’ll get good camera work for one too
Aussie tv defo does it better
I’m not bagging the bbc as I think they do a good job but they didn’t do a good job of the Tonga Samoa cultural challenge
Far too close and too low
It’s a real spectacle and the camera men should be doing there home work better to get the most from it
