Kev, I can't wait to see the "tasteful" pictures.]]>Dec 7th 2005 12:00PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2005/12/01/victorias-secret-fashion-show-faux-pas/http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/12/01/victorias-secret-fashion-show-faux-pas/
Obviously you can't do this sort of thing live - at least not easily. Couple observations on balancing hires and maintaining the appearance of perfection:

Soft focus filter: This was super obvious: Not sure whether this was done in post or if there was actually a filter on the cameras; don't know enough about tv broadcasting to say. But, I am a photographer and I can tell you soft focus was being used. This allowed the occasional tight shot of the face or other body parts without giving the viewer too much information. Well done. I was at once blown away yet still let wanting to see more.

Editing: Girls with anything but sticks for legs were for the most part not shown from the waist down for longer than a second. You really noticed this with Tyra. Yes, I know some models' contracts don't allow this type of shot but I'd say it went well beyond that due to the resolution of the video. Shots had to be dropped because of too much information: what they would call 'flaws'. In other words they looked mortal which is not acceptable for this type of event.

Technical Merit: A+
Booking Ricky Martin for the show: F-
