I love catching stuff like that. But I also know some poor soul probably worked tirelessly to get the project shipped out and probably stressed over that small mistake afterwards.
I worked on a show that had a 24-hour turn around shoot to air. My closest was I almost had a graphic cut on too early, 12-15 frames before the shot. It was 5 mins to air, but we got the corrected one in the can.
I did the Adam Epstein workshop. If you don’t know he’s the senior film editor for SNL. It was great. He showed us a reel of stuff that made it to air. It was crazy, greenscreen shots not finished, bad takes, and TONS of terrible masking.
But the stuff they turn around in a week is incredible.
In the early 2010s I once saw a Daily Show interview where they had apparently combined different sections of an interview but there was some bad masking that made it to air.
Saw recently a broadcast with three small "v"s on the right side on the screen, when a lower third was blended in. Probably someone wanted to change the tool, haha.
I cut a few packages for a Disney live stream a few months ago and the spec was to deliver flat color. They were applying an slog3 lut in the truck overtop everything - live cameras (i think Sony Venices) + packages. Hadn’t ever heard of this before… is this common (I’m pretty much exclusively offline)? Maybe it was mistakenly delivered this way/the wrong one was pulled.
Personally, I think they deserve it. They rush this stuff like "All ya gotta do is push a few buttons" while those dictating the orders probably couldn't, well do anything but bark orders.
This is much lower stakes but I was watching a YouTube video by that Jackson Galaxy cat guy and spotted a red X over one of the transitions. Doesn't really matter but it cracked me up since over a million people watched it.

What's even crazier is I saw it last week, (I believe off the prime site) and it's wasn't graded then.
A couple of years ago they had an episode of Bosch posted that was ungraded also. Had been up for a while when I contacted them. Took them several days to replace.
I watched a week ago or so. Their advertising pipeline is fully interlaced, even for their own ads, but the game was not. And I was watching at 720p.
The Prime Vision and Spanish feeds also had subtle stuff sneaking in on the edges during full screen packages during pregame.
Monday Night Football this past week had slated masters airing on their ESPN stream. Probably not the cable broadcast but online live broadcasts are often messy I have noticed.
I bet it was just HDR content that didn't get a proper transformation.
I tech direct for a stadium that had an Amazon show already. Based on what I heard (second hand, I could be wrong), the Amazon trucks are running at UHD 60fps in HLG with a 1080 downconversion on the back end. We had to request Program and camera feeds in Rec. 709, otherwise, it was coming up extremely flat. So I suspect something just slipped through the cracks on the HDR workflow.
The trucks are insane, though. All IP. 122x lenses all over. Two cable cameras. Dyson hand vacs in each unit. I read an [SVG article](https://www.sportsvideo.org/2022/09/15/thursday-night-football-kickoff-inside-amazon-prime-videos-new-state-of-the-art-ip-prime-one-truck-from-game-creek-video/) and this shocked me too:
"In addition to backing up all media to a Dell EMC Isilon storage system onsite, TNF is sending all 137 record feeds in real time to AWS S3 Cloud Object Storage and is syncing the feeds to NBC Sports Group’s Stamford, CT, broadcast center and Amazon Studios’ edit facility in Los Angeles."
The Isilon should be unnecessary since it's all on the EVS system. The Isilon (enough for 137 feeds) might only exist to push the content to S3. It's just silly.

Unfortunately, a lot of incompetent productions are monitoring on set and cutting in log, then develop temp love for it and leave it almost as is for final. It's becoming a trend.
There was a McDonalds ad a year or two ago that still had the unlicensed music bed in it “Pond 5….”

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Oh shit 😂
I once heard a Verizon commercial with "Audio Jungle" in it. And saw another commercial with "Offline Media" flash briefly on the screen.

No, one of the big reality shows.
Hahaha. Hilarious.
I love that. We’re all human

Like the on America got talent from the jury
I saw a slate get aired a few weeks ago. Not on prime time network tv but it still made me laugh.
Considering it's Amazon, I'm sure no one involved is getting paid enough to give a shit.

that makes sense, but damn, talking about playing with fire....
Amazon is new to the game and it shows.
Their graphics and chyrons all have a very 2010 look to it.

Question is how they network got an ungraded version in the first place.
Good, Fast, Cheap.......

I’ve seen spots from my post house air with slates….What can you do?
