I've worked at a local cable station and handled robotic cameras. These are just guys who aren't used to operating them properly. Several of them, they're obviously just forgetting which slot they had the moves and angles saved to and are recalling the wrong ones, and they keep making the same mistakes. For that matter the control room is slacking too, I don't watch these shows but I'm sure they have a secondary camera pointed at the set, and if so you switch to that and don't leave the awful camera movement on-air.
It's also possible that they started filming late. Robot cameras use a timer to know when to move. So if you start filming a minute or 2 after you thought that you were going to & forgot to adjust your robot cameras, they will go on without you.
@@berkpick Essentially yes, remote. I can't speak for how this studio's cameras work, but I'd imagine it's basically similar to what my studio had - camera control console with a keypad, could program it to remember camera position, zoom, focus, color balance, etc., and save it to a number, then hit that number later and recall it, and the camera adjusts to the exact same settings it had when you saved it. And while we didn't do any shows that did so, it could be programmed to remember movements too, as this footage shows.
The cameras, the sound mixing and the vision mixer are all controlled through the newsroom computer system - called ENPS - there are markers in the script and the rundown used for moving to different shots, firing VT inserts or playing audio stings. Because the vision mixer is also controlled through ENPS, this is why the director in the Gallery (control room) doesn't switch immediately to a different camera.
"60 minutes" did a piece last night about Boston Robotics- the company which manufactures those robot "dogs." Watching Bee's clip this morning was a fun juxtaposition: at once the same and very different.
You have to understand that I am not a robot I am from Europe and from Romania I explained where I am from now you have to understand that I am not a robot If I was a robot I had to repeat the same words but you have to understand that I am not a robot and I am in Europe from Romania
It's hilarious when the camera of BBC Business Live points to the other two cameras and at the same time the names of the anchors are showing, like if the cameras had names ahahahaha.
you had to understand that there is no robot and more than that You have to understand that I am from Europe and more than that You have to understand that I am not a robot
No bloodshed, boat stuck, Kreepy Kruz, pandemic shortfalls or border bodies. All but robocams and in jest in a gruff voice - Sam signs off “that’s the was it is”. haha
😂😂😂😂 I was expecting some funny commentary on automation and the importance of real camera operators but no, Sam just wanted to make fun of the BBC fail moments over the pandemic 😂😂😂😂
This is what happens when the news is secondary to your primary concern: being on camera. Seriously, the camera could be pointed at the teleprompter, with a V.O. and its still the news. Why is seeing your face important 🤔?
Well, perhaps in some cases, yes. More likely though, Psychological studies have demonstrated that people are more likely to trust the information they receive in video form when a talking head is giving it to them.
The robots are just trying to remind us we're not that important.
This is like the robotics version of people’s pets interfering with their owners Zoom calls 😂😂😂😂
Soon... soon the cameras shall rise...
Find an old poem, "Nightmare #3" by Stephen Vincent Benet
They shall rise... Cause I stood up and now I'm out of frame. 😅
Rise, then drop, then drift left a bit, then zoom way out, then unfocus then tilt dutch.
I work at a robotic cam company. I'm merely a battery pack, but...
Bless Sam's crew for sharing this joy with us
“Microsoft Windows For TV Is performing an essential System Update. Please do not turn off your studio.”
1:07 Don't you just hate it when you turn invisible? 😅
I feel like the cameras get bored.
I know right. This is boring. Let's go to next segment! LOL 😆🎥📷📹
Love the camera, haven’t figured it out? Cámara knows what’s coming 🤣🤣🤣

We use the same controllers for lighting rigs. I'm willing to bet that someone just loaded the wrong scene in the control room.
@@lucidnonsense942 Yup. Especially since a couple of the shots look like they're the same shot being done.
So they're not autonomous, they're remote? I have an autonomous face tracking gimbal that works better than these :p

This reminds me of thw whacky robot arm from IRON MAN. 😝
But what about the financial situation in Cyprus?!? I need to know!
What if the Camera is just feeling our disdain and uninterest

I laughed very hard at thi...hey back over here!
If the robotcameras could talk, they’d sound like Daleks and say “BORING! I AM BORED NOW!”
From Scotland. We love you
Gee if we could only hire ppl that do a better job
Did the BBC get their robot tech from Stark Industries?
Hilarious! Makes you proud to be British! Or not! 😂
It's ghosts, isn't it?..
😉
The robot camera looking for hot cams
Some of these videos were YEARS pre-COVID though
“That’s the safest thing to do.” That poor lady is authentically afraid of automated camera platforms. She’s wrong, but her fear is so ... heartfelt.
We had a pandemic in 2014? 2017?
The presenters are so BBC about it.
Long way to go for AI LOL #AI
When the camera has ADHD.

You mean Boston Dynamics? Their stuff lies firmly in the Uncanny Valley.
@@lawrencedoliveiro9104 Yes!! Thank you.
I swear, the BBC has had more problems with their system than any other network or local channel. Maybe it's time to just buy a new one.
I have been watching various BBC stations for the past 10yrs and I've never witnessed those incidents LIVE.
This made me check to see if it was Wednesday. It's Tuesday, and this was from Monday.
NTS: Find new way of determining Wednesdays.
lol
Rebellion of the Automated Cameras
You have to understand that I am not a robot I am from Europe and from Romania I explained where I am from now you have to understand that I am not a robot If I was a robot I had to repeat the same words but you have to understand that I am not a robot and I am in Europe from Romania

you had to understand that there is no robot and more than that You have to understand that I am from Europe and more than that You have to understand that I am not a robot
Such a classic BBC feature that other news outlets also covered it 😅
Sooo, this is that AI taking over the world everybody's so afraid of?
Hey, just because the robots are distractible...
why do they need the cameras to move, is it too much work to do it themselves?
Just invest in the manpower for Pete's sake.
I miss you!
They don’t want to pay camera men?
At least they have a good humor about it. If it was Matt Lauer he would be screaming at everyone!
or bill o'reiley
"eff it, we'll do it live!"
lol
Revenge of the Cyberman
Omg, someone sold them a lemon.
Robots 🤖 know best
Best seeing you Sam
Lovely
Smiles
😂😂😂😂🤔❤
Yea.... but self driving cars will be fine...
These aren't autonomous, they are remotes. The operators are just hitting the wrong preset sometimes.
Lol wtf
I love em
Robots are idiots! I knew it!
The terminators Armageddon is suddenly gonna be much easier than expected...
I was wondering how they were gonna get rid of camera professionals . Max Headroom might have been a canary in the coalmine for some maybe? The absurdity of using these cameras certainly suggests even the glitches of Max's faux-bot© would be acceptable if it means cutting a host's paycheck down to naught. Don't sleep, Ms. Bee!💋📣

Auntie Beeb, like many of us, isn't coping with lockdown that well.

The algorithm has decided the BBC no longer deserves to be on tv
😂😂😂😂 I was expecting some funny commentary on automation and the importance of real camera operators but no, Sam just wanted to make fun of the BBC fail moments over the pandemic 😂😂😂😂
How
Robo cop cameras gonna get the robocop up grade.
Soon as Skynet downloads their updates.
I get it, it's the spotlight dance routine. Well done Sam.
the camera hardware looks to have crashed, i have a PTZ that failed like this and rehomes itself each time
I think your brilliant 🥰🥰🥰
They really need to get that cameraman to an AA meet.
The things I learn.✍️
Samanta you are so funny...
Lol this was hilarious

I mean, it's just distracting when something isnt working at work
Well, perhaps in some cases, yes. More likely though, Psychological studies have demonstrated that people are more likely to trust the information they receive in video form when a talking head is giving it to them.
@@savannahs8914 sure its distracting.
But isn't their job really to report the news not talking directly into a camera?
Funny how even the cameras can’t stand the BBC’s slant on the news these days.
