Best Answer

It depends on the production. For dramas, sitcoms, sports and similar productions, most cameras have an operator behind the camera. The operator is responsible for moving and directing the camera according to a director's instruction, focusing and all the other small but important tasks. Some cameras may be fixed while others might be controlled remotely from the gallery.

Many regional news programs are moving to cameras that are controlled by the news presenter himself and others are using fully automated cameras that will move, pan, tilt, zoom and focus under the control of a computer without any manual intervention. News programs are leading the way in automation because they are fairly predictable programs from a technical viewpoint. Automation has added a reliability to local and regional news because the computers are very good at remembering all the details of a particular shot.

However, automation in many other program genres isn't possible because of the limitations of the computers. They are unable to react to unexpected situations in the same way a camera operator can. A good operator will always frame a shot well even if the performers move off their marks. Our new robotic camera systems haven't learnt those subtle adjustments just yet.

How many cameras are used in a stadium at a live soccer game?

The exactly number of cameras that are used during a live soccer game, is very different from TV-station to TV-station. I'm a TV-producer, and I produces sports for the most, and my observations are:- During the early qualification games, the productions can be very easy, from 4-5 cameras, to 10-12. Most TV-stations is using more than 4-5, but the small TV-stations have a tighter budget.LET'S JUMP OVER SOME ROUNDS... :- In the national broadcasted finals, it's usually over 20 cameras sending live back to the OB-truck. But again, not all Outside Broadcasting-trucks (OB-trucks) can take 20+ cameras, so it's very up to what kind of equipment and OB-vans the Broadcaster is using. Here in Norway we are using 31 cameras during the Grand Final every year. Then we are sending in HD, with a extremly advanced and expensive OB-trucks, as well as a 5.1 Sound-truck worth millions as well.Hoped this helped you!The TV-producer

You could call the State, but sometimes it works better if you call the "Action Line" of your local newspaper, TV station or radio station. Sometimes shame and bad publicity works better than laws. Or, you can hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit.
