"NATIONAL ANTHEM FLYOVER" VIDEO BELOW ARTICLE:
What was your favorite moment from the Super Bowl? Was it seeing the Seattle Seahawks win? The commercials? The halftime show? Or was it the most coordinated shot in history?
Whomever the NBC camera operator was for singer Charlie Puth's National Anthem at Super Bowl 60 deserves a raise for nailing the difficult shot as the song ended to a joint flyover from the USA Navy and Air Force. The camera operator did a Michael Bay-style move from Puth to the flyover, back to Puth, onto a second flyover, and then finally back to Puth, all in one iconic shot.
The halftime show of Bad Bunny also showed some great camera coordination. I won't get into the fact that he was singing in Spanish, and whether you liked it or not is irrelevant to the fact that the production itself was incredibly designed.
When I worked for Royal Caribbean as a Stage Staff Tech, I saw some crazy setups and had to throw out props to Dancers with special timing. As an NFL fan, I watched over sixty games this season and feel like I'm the only one online who actually cared about the game, but for a brief moment, the camera work before the game started inspired me.
What is your favorite shot in movies? Comment below with your thoughts.
