Some nights I lay in bed and just come up with either some wacky ideas, or legitimate ideas for us to see more shoeplay!
Obviously we've all had the "invisible" dream. I always tell myself I get 1 hour everyday to be invisibale and man would it be awesome, the places you could go, the counters to stand behind...
We need someone on the board here to be a wedding photographer. You could get more candid shoeplay pictures and no one be the wiser as that is your job.
This will happen eventually, but CSPAN, HSN, QVC et al, will go HI-DEF; that will be fun!
Always have the dream that I meet someone who has worked at HSN for 20+ years as a producer and he says he has tapes, sorted by host, of all the shows from different angles, no banners... He allows me to sift through all these to see what I can find. Even shots from behind these crazy desks! (also would like to know, first hand, if HSN and QVC has made it a point to tell hosts not to shoeplay and the camera guys to avoid when possible and the setup guys to build sets that make it difficult ro see feet. I know we all have speculated, we all have our theories and we've seen them proven lots, but has anyone heard directly form the shows that they are doing this?)
Please add more if you got them!

How did I miss this post? Oh well.
Some years ago I read about a proposal to make TV viewing more interactive.
One suggestion was to allow the viewer to choose the camera angle when they were watching a reality or talk show.
When you watch these shows now your "view" jumps around between different cameras based on what the studio/network wants you to see. With a more interactive setup, you can select a particular camera angle and stay there the whole show.
This would be very useful for the shopping channels and perhaps Regis and Kelly when they are seated at the desk.
Another "dream" would be to wire up the area under and behind the newsdesks for major and local networks.
What I'd really like to do though would be to wire up the tables and chairs of an upscale restaurant or high-end wedding reception/corporate "all hands" gathering.
Cheers,
