Flo Highlight Videos from the tOSU dual

[Tom McAndrew]

I met Christian Pyles (Vais) before the dual, and chatted with him. Christian was at PSU for the 1st time, and videoed the dual for Flo. You can access highlight videos from each match at THIS LINK. (Because BTN owns the rights to the broadcast, others can only show highlight clips.)

I should have something out tomorrow, but it's always intersting what you can see from the Flo perspective. I know their camera angle captured the pin vs Imar far better than BTN did.

Videos clips of great wrestling matches are always appreciated.

Perhaps with the next round of videos Flo could use a zoom feature. Tough to see the details of the action with one wide view setting.

Man, Macintosh just abused Fox. Like a cat toying around with a mouse.

The BTN cameras were in the corners of the raised platform.

Vais/CP was sitting ringside, opposite the scorer's table. The below pic doesn't give a great sense of depth, but it's where Vais/CP was.



I didn't check Vais/CP's exact location in respect to the mat, but I'm pretty sure this would be a pretty accurate description of where he was. Draw a straight line between the scorer's table and the other side of the mat, and have it be adjacent to the outside of the circle on the Ohio State side, and where it intersected with the edge of the platform, that's where Vais/CP was seated.

I didn't speak with Vais/CP after the dual, so I can only speculate. I believe he was multitasking through the dual. He set the camera up on a tripod, with a wide setting, to capture the action. Then he was providing vocal play-by-play, as well as also keying in live updates (the match details that you can see in the link I provided). I did look in Vais/CP's general direction a few times during the dual. I remember noticing that either the tripod have been removed, or it had been lowered to a super low setting.

Expected something like that Tom.

Very hard to get good camera focus, follow the action while doing other things. Easiest way is to use a "set it and forget it" wide shot mode. It was set to show action for the entire ring.

Flo does a great job.

Wrestling fans were starved for good video coverage for a long time.
