Hi LS,
Although I am not a Madonna fan - last night after the Canucks win
, I saw your post and decided to check out the show. Thank God for the Pacific Time Zone were the show hasn't aired yet.

The sit down was beautiful but there were a couple of segments where they forced the PD-150 video in and I felt it detracted from the final product. Let's just say I'm pretty sure an experienced photog wasn't shooting the little cam due to the overexposed video and auto focus/iris moments.
Although I didn't see the first ten minutes or the last segment of the show I seen enough to note as cameragod would say, this looks like a classic case were the consultant would claim n LIE
another show shot by a handycam when in reality the majority of the show (from what I seen) was shot by a
genuine beta crew . Yes LS, I too saw were they forced the amateur looking handycam footage in.
It was bad enough for MADONNA to ruin a classic LED ZEPPELIN tune but seeing that amateur handy-cam footage thrown in is what really pissed my dog off.
Seems like a case were the producer or assistant to the producer grabbed his personal handycam just to try and ruin the real cameraman's work - thinking no one will be able to tell the difference. I guess a few people could indeed tell, eh?
I only hope that few of the NBC folks took note or else they will stop all together using real cameraman and NBC mags will rely on handycam coffee boys -turn the fine quality mags into a certain section of NBC hard news amateur crap.
But you n I can tell the dif - eh! LS?

Let's face it, the mini DV formats and small cameras are a joke. They will never find their place in the business, right?
