Hi Robbi, i’m Mitch, producer for NIPW in Belfast, Northern Ireland 👋

Sadly ill be travelling at this time but i’ll catch the video from the call!

In locating the hard cam I always look for a spot that’s square on to the ring and ideally with the crowd behind it, but if that’s not possible then with crowd somewhere in shot, like in front of it or off to the side. Depending on how good the hardcam works out depends on how much I’d use it vs a ringside camera. Sometimes it can be very hard to get the right height, in our gym shows we have a platform that’s pretty much the only place you can set up a camera but it’s essentially a roof cam… other places can be too low at times, I don’t have people manning the hard cam usually it’s locked off.. it’s also mostly a phone hence harder to man or use in any meaningful way… but yeah.. that’s me anyway. I prefer crowd in shot rather than entrance way in shot anyway..

@Adam Carrel we were using an ATEM mini pro iso for this one, with companion and also OBS for supers and stuff, the set up was streamed direct from the ATEM and main pc used for onscreen content and the 3 camers were 2 iphones a 17 & regrettably a 12. And an ipad in the end after technical problems with a sony camera we were set to use. Sound running from mixer direct to mic input on the ATEM and multi screen running from an additional pc via usb as the mini only has 1 hdmi out and i had to use program for the tv on set. So a bit clunky but an ok first shoot

@Amraj Bassi haha, well thankfully didnt crash so yeah i appreciate the stress that would create lol, thanks man!

Whats the orange thing?!
