 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Great band. Bill Bailey's TRIBUTE: Tribute to Kraftwerk Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Except that it was typical modern-day fakery  All the classic BS tricks: Unified "audience" overreaction to a non-event A camera angle showing silhouettes of "audience" heads and hands....Why? A camera angle from the side of the stage but the "audience" is 100% in darkness Not a single instance of the camera zooming-in on random "audience" members. "But it were on t' telly so it must be real" |

In this case, yes but this deception is everywhere right now and people are falling for it, hook, line and sinker. Apart from Formula one and MotoGP, I haven't watched a TV since 2009...I go to the pub for my motorsports  Craig |

I'm not sure that people are "falling for it" as such. I think it's that people simply accept modern ways of producing this sort of thing, realizing that if they were there in person they would have a much worse view and be far more uncomfortable. I would question that it's "deception" - just a production method. As for camera angles, it's not always possible to get audience shots due to camera visibility (being intrusive) and lighting arrangements. The Hammersmith is pretty old too and wasn't really designed for audience participation shots. You can look for "deception" everywhere - and it can certainly be there to be found - but for stage performances the cameras always have to take second place to the audience experience - after all, it's the audience that are paying most of the production costs. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

@Rickard5 It doesn't get any more real than our Isle Of Man TT. Real roads with real walls, kerbs, trees. It never is a real sport for Americans when they can't win. How many countries play in the *World* series that the USA always wins? Craig |

"it's only Kraftwerk" But it isn't. You will have a big news story, usually a shooting. The local news channel interviews a so-called neighbor: "Well I can't say that I really knew the suspect but yada, yada" Fast-forward a few months and there's another incident in a different state and there's a different news channel. The "neighbor" that they interview? It's the same person as before They are called crisis actors and they are used everywhere when a narrative needs to be pushed. Craig |
