[AM160]

At the end of each 6.30pm edition they are panning around all over the place at varying heights and angles. It’s distracting whilst you’re trying to focus on what the presenter is saying - for an example watch last nights programme on iplayer after the weather segment. No static shot just constant moving around whilst Roger is talking about viewers comments and a Blackpool Zoo item.

I had a look.. you're being pretty over the top with your description, long, slow tracking mid/wide shot settling on a static shot when the item changed from emails to the zoo still.
Timely pause before move out to end wide.

The whole point of this studio look is subtle movement.. you made it sound like it was top of the pops.. It was hardly like Rodger was doing an impression of an owl..

I actually thought it looked really good. I mean reading out emails is dull.. to do that for the 20 seconds or so sat on a midshot it would be.. well, dull

Now I think the Nine in Scotland looked brilliant, modern and sharp. This feels like a bit of that concept has been absorbed and I think it looks great

Presenter sat static behind a desk on a static midshot is like sooooooooo nineties!
