Back in the days of the blue, virtual news set from the 90s / 2000s the cameras were entirely robotic and trackless. I'm curious as to why couldn't they use these systems in B? In standard presentation they could be set up to do the jobs of the monoliths, but then they could get out of the way when not needed.
I understand the choice of the furios in E/C, the space was so limited and they wanted the cameras in shot. I remember Chris Cook mentioning when we first saw designs of E "the cameras are part of the set"... which worked. The furios looked dynamic and agile, which could be seen as a metaphor for broadcasting rolling news directly from Europe's largest newsroom.
By comparison, the monoliths look slow, cumbersome and awkward. I hope not a metaphor for the period we are currently in....
