[Critique]

Looking at the credits for today's show; and a quick twitter search there was definitely at least a Steadicam used today. Possibly a jib aswell not 100% sure.

Why would you need more than 7 cameras in that studio? Which shots required a Steadicam or Jib?

All three of the shots you’ve cited in your earlier post, for one!

The shot of the stairs starts further away (which I accept one of the robot cameras could probably do) but ends closer to Laura and the guest than your capture shows - the camera is directly underneath the stairs by the end. The perspective change makes it obvious that it’s not a simple zoom from further away, and as there is no track directly underneath the stairs it can only have been done with an additional camera.

Again, the shot from your second cap ends up much closer to the guest - the camera is basically immediately behind the guest’s shoulder by the finish. Again, maybe one of the robot cameras could do a zoomed-in version of this shot from a distance, but the camera is clearly moving closer to the guest and there are no rails that could allow a robot camera to do said shot.

Finally, in the third capture the camera is basically resting on the floor. But as can be seen in your image of the robot cameras themselves, the cameras can’t go that low as you’d have the monitors underneath them smashing into the floor!
