DId they really used to fly a camera crew out from the host country to each contestant and shoot them? Could the national broadcaster not just shoot some VT without the air miles?

The postcards used to be based around the host country, sometimes featuring the artist, sometimes not. I think last year the concept was three linked locations in the UK, Ukraine and competing country. Presumably though for footage filmed in competing countries where possibly the host would work with the local broadcaster to get the footage.

These postcards just don't particularly seem to show off any location well or the personality of the artists. The throwback clips are a nice touch but overall the postcards aren't really shining this year.

Not a huge fan of the graphics this year, though the final text based country/flag is quite nice. They also used a graphics shot of the competing countries over a shot of Malmo which looked better than the usual scoreboard on a big block of colour IMO.
