Re: [RC] Televising Endurance rides - CharlesI was thinking more along the lines of a general sort of voice over. More like: "Whathisname and Jane rider have come in to the vet check. They have 30 minutes to reach pulse level of 64. It could be tight." Cut to post ride interview "Whatsi was pulsing really high, the canyon climb really took it out of him, and I wasn't sure if we could get his pulse down" Cut "at the back...." The problem I see is that it would be labor intensive. You need people to go around filming the ridecamp, vet checks, tough areas of the trail, doing interviews, etc. Charles PS: I wouldn't have someone follow the riders so much as just have cameras along the trail where the riders come up to them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kristene Smuts" <Ksmuts@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <tprevatt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <cdy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 5:34 AM Subject: Re: [RC] Televising Endurance rides How about televising endurance rides like they do "adventure racing"? >> Yes, good suggestion. They can also show shots of the grooming area where there is frantic activity with a clock ticking off the minutes ... "Will he make it to the vet on time? Folks, I can hardly watch, the tension is too much for me .... Bob, let me know if he makes it in his allotted time .... my nerves! Oh my goodness, number 215, Jane Smiley, is having a hard time keeping up with her horse at the trot-out and her groom is running behind her throwing sodden sponges at her ... what a team, what a team! If only you can feel the electricity in the air! Bob, I think I'll go and have a lie-down now, all this excitement is getting to me!"
