I'm not sold on that VR shot. The atrium looks so cold. Maybe they could jazz it up a bit with some lights. I'd also prefer if they simply zoomed in towards the studio instead of tilting down and zooming in.

I think the point of the tilt/zoom VR shot is to give the impression of space. The studio itself is a small box, which is brightly lit as a contrast to the surrounding area, and with the external side of the LED Towers adding to that effect. I think it's a very clever feature of the design.

It's not dissimilar to what ITN did back in the day when they used to use the panning shots of the atrium at GIR and a zoom shot into the small box that was Studio 3 for bulletins.
