I just got back from paris as an amateur photographer and it's amazing to see how much work goes into these professional photos. I was so jealous of the amazing positions the pro photographer got to take their pictures.
I love how they can have some input/influence on the branding around the areas/arenas. People who don't take photos or videos don't see these details, and l love that they listen to them.
What a brilliant video! The photography and videography of such grand events like Olympics have always fascinated me and I would often focus on the cameras than the atheletes :P Having photographed and videographed some of the competitive events myself, I know how hard it is to capture the key moments at the right time. Huge props to all the hard-working individuals behind the lenses for bringing us iconic images from the history.
Goals right here. I’d love to be a photographer on the Australian 🇦🇺 team one day. Please reach out if you want a Aussie photographer as I love action shots
I really wish I had seen this BEFORE this year’s Olympics!!! Well done. And good for the IOC to support the creation of the film and acknowledge that the media coverage is a major part of their product.
Every major camera manufacturer needs to have their CEO watch this .. it's the 100% reason that iANYTHING won't ever replace the DSLR or newer Mirrorless Pro Cameras! SUPERB!
Ahh The digital age, so amazing and yet so disturbing how many jobs are disappearing with every move forward. Don’t get me wrong I love it till use, but terrifying that one day there will be very few pro photographers or videographers as we will all have the capability in our pockets!
@@acidtears I'm not sure exactly what you found dystopian about the editing room in this video, I assumed it was the stark contrast to where the actual photography took place. So my thought was that this particular situation is no different than Mr. Adams working outside in Yosemite only to then spend as many hours in a dark and smelly room, which seems rather dystopian to me. How did you see the olympic editing room as dystopian?
@@mKruter Developing film is a magical process. Why I think this is dystopian because this is the further thing away from working in a dark room - the only objective is put out whatever image in whatever edit in the fastest time possible. The photographers who took the picture can't even put their "finishing touch" on it. This is dystopian in that photography in this setting has been reduced to "content". Ansel Adams is a great example because he did develop his own work - it was an integral part of the artistic process. I suppose that's what I'm severly missing in that room of (un)paid interns, competing on who's quickest to upload to buzzfeed sports.
Imagine losing all the whole years income and perhaps forever crediblity in their industry due to one single mistake at key moment that comes once in a life time and tons of hours of set-up, planning, gathering credits enough just to be on a stand and recieve enough credit from agencies to participate in the Olympic. Of course to Nation pride athletes are something of a whole country responsibility on their back but to be a photographer of that level it took perhaps 5-10 years or perhaps it's all down in drain and they might not even make it to that stand not to talk about how much they have to invest to have a decent portfolio to recieve credits thoughout the years with not-even-worth incomes if that one supposed to be pure photojournalist or hell they got blasted in the meantime of covering news in warzone before they even recieve chance to participate in the first place
