Which leads me to a question, why is Top Gear US so...how do I say this nicely...homely?

Lack of talent and budget. Top Gear UK employs much larger staff, spends ridiculous amounts of time lighting the car glamour shots, and spend full days on track shots that last a few minutes on film. Keep a minds eye on what you're seeing. All those shots inside cut to outside shots? Don't see a camera attached to the car in the outside shots, which means they are edited from two or more entirely different takes. And that's just getting started...
Also, keep in mind they use a TON of camera filters and know which to use when. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the same camera talent is shared across all BBC productions. Reasons why the Planet Earth series was so unbelievably breathtaking. Sure, you could just shoot the ridge, but wouldnt it look better at just the right time of day, with just the right gradual filter, edited to just the right music? Same concept. History channel ain't BBC2...There just isn't the financial support here in the states.
Oh, and that wont change as long as the presenters here continue to be so far behind the UK in personal chemistry. Which makes TOP GEAR UK, the best car show... in the wuuuurld.
But thats just my opinion. :-) |
