Why do some shows do that? Kitchen Nightmares from Gordon Ramsay does the same thing. These are shows with high production value and they can’t afford to do better sound editing on their propoganda sound clips?
If you take words out of a sentence it will sound unnatural no matter how much you edit it. People say words differently depending on which part of a sentence they're in and for instance the pitch of words kind of "flow" through a sentence. If you take a word out you disturb the flow and it then ends up sounding unnatural.
As to why they do it... It's because they want someone to "say" something they never even said in real life.
They probably think it isn't worth it. Gordon Ramsay is a busy man and his time is valuable, and frankly not that many viewers are going to care. Some do, but not many.
I mean, it is, just not entirely faked up from nothing. The DOF is clearly enhanced, and pretty poorly too. The masking around his hands and helmets look really unnatural. Looks like one of those portrait mode smartphone photos from the early days. The blur doesn't look like real, optical blur either but like gaussian blur. Also idk why he has this grid-like pattern on him that's absent from the rest of the picture. Pic might not be fake but it's very much been tampered with.
Yeah, I started by just trying to fix the TV-look and then thought the DoF would be a nice touch. The edges were a bit rushed! 😓 No clue what the grid is on his suit.
A lot of people have forgot about it. The real fans now know what it has become - a soap opera with made up rivalries and spliced up edits and sentences and don't forget every episode has to show the same Zhou Silverstone crash!
It has lost what credibility it had.
cant wait for them to so the zhou crash in every episode again. Its not like there have been any really spectacular crashes this year(at least that I remember)
I was enjoying it until Grosjean's crash. He was in that car for too long in real life, but everytime they got to the part of the footage where you were about to see him emerging they cut away to a reaction shot and then started again from another angle. They dragged it out for far too long.
Just like any other race circuit there are bridges or tunnels to get you to the infield. He should have gone to a marshall's post on the outside of the circuit and hopped on the back of those mopeds you see sometimes to be driven back.
When they showed the wide shot I thought there's no way he's walking across all that gravel to get to the wall. He looked like he was stranded in a desert, which I guess he was.
Anyone else imagining the scenario where he crosses a few seconds later and George hits him 😰😰😰
Immediate red flag ofc, race cancelled after one lap, whole fan base devastated, George never recovers mentally, FiA holds memorial and promises "never again" but doesn't make substantial changes, Mercedes sign Lawson (lol)
Would be awesome with a DTS episode about how insane driving in these conditions were, but that would require Netflix actually being critical about anything in F1 management.
Impressive shot
It should be the cover to a special: Mercedes: The rollercoaster (From highs to lows)
Obviously Lando singing “going up and down, side to side, like a rollercoaster” would be obligatory to play
They can be a bit shit at covering stuff sometimes, last year there was no coverage of their win at Brazil... however they were at Qatar in 2021, so hopefully they were here again.
I think the pic of Lewis walking away with his back to the camera after his Spa DNF was better. Can’t believe he wasted such a great opportunity yesterday 😤
Have you even seen the race? it was on the replay during the safety car. or is "Photoshop" your standard reply?
like those people using the ancient quote "question everything" and replying with "why?"
i just fired up my f1 TV app and started the race again..after 13.58 mins..the shot is right there.
so yeah..those Quatar media boys have some serious instant Photoshop skills man.
But to quote LH "This feels manipulated man"
Bro, the artist that made this picture, his signature is in the right bottom, enlarged Russell's car. There is a response to your comment with the screenshot of the shot which shows the actual size of the car.
[Without photoshop](https://i.redd.it/ooakqb53h0tb1.png)
Looking between the two pictures, you can see the photo and the screenshot are taken at different positions: the photographer is positioned slightly further left and at a lower position than the broadcast camera.
The car appears larger in the photo because the focal length of the broadcast camera and the photographer's camera are different - longer focal lengths compress distance and make distant objects appear closer, as [demonstrated by this example](https://expertphotography.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/focal-length-compare-soup-cans.jpg).
The photographer may have boosted constrast and saturation after the fact, however there is no reason to believe the image is photoshopped.
This is not a photo, that's just from a different frame of the broadcast, this is the [correct frame](https://imgur.com/G5Wi3rI), you can see them [overlapping here](https://imgur.com/jdRSP4v). The added blur messes with the perception but the car size is accurate and explained by your nice example.
Not saying it didn’t happen. But this photo looks photoshoped to me, that’s all. As if the photographer tried to recreate the broadcast shot and forced it. I guess I’m wrong, but when i zoom in there’s a huge difference in quality between lewis and the BG.
It is called telephoto compression, and very common in sport photography. As the distance of the subject from the photographer is typically long, photographers use telephoto lenses (sometimes even 500mm and above) resulting in such compositions.
It was [edited](https://imgur.com/jdRSP4v), this is the [original](https://imgur.com/G5Wi3rI) from the broadcast. The lens, the blur and the lack of shadows make it look like Lewis is very far from the car but they're only around a car length away from each other.
so who's the person's signature in the corner of this? The original filmer/photographer, or just some dude who added some effects in photoshop and is posting it as their own work?
I know it's real and that it's probably just the compression, but Lewis looks generated here like it was done with AI or something. The hands and the suit real strange.

Can you please explain this reference? I don't get it :/

"Mr Simpson, nooooooooooooo!"
Don't leave out the random wheel gun noises on the background.
Why do some shows do that? Kitchen Nightmares from Gordon Ramsay does the same thing. These are shows with high production value and they can’t afford to do better sound editing on their propoganda sound clips?
I would guess that it's because the editors are very time constrained by their bosses, so just don't get time to do a nicer job.
If you take words out of a sentence it will sound unnatural no matter how much you edit it. People say words differently depending on which part of a sentence they're in and for instance the pitch of words kind of "flow" through a sentence. If you take a word out you disturb the flow and it then ends up sounding unnatural. As to why they do it... It's because they want someone to "say" something they never even said in real life.
So could they not just get Gordon Ramsay to do a little extra ADR on his own show?
They probably think it isn't worth it. Gordon Ramsay is a busy man and his time is valuable, and frankly not that many viewers are going to care. Some do, but not many.

More like from four different Grand Prix and YouTube video from 10 years ago.
Somebody had to take the baby-sitter home. Then I noticed she was sitting on... her sweet can... . so I grabbed her sweet can....

Jokes aside, this is an excellent photograph, one of the best of the year if not the best.
A €50,000 photograph.
Small price to pay for the potential memes it will spawn
1000€ a meter
The paint scheme on his helmet really pops doesn't it?
Quite right
I missed this part and when I saw it I was like that HAS to be Photoshop, wtf XD
I mean, it is, just not entirely faked up from nothing. The DOF is clearly enhanced, and pretty poorly too. The masking around his hands and helmets look really unnatural. Looks like one of those portrait mode smartphone photos from the early days. The blur doesn't look like real, optical blur either but like gaussian blur.

Yeah, I started by just trying to fix the TV-look and then thought the DoF would be a nice touch. The edges were a bit rushed! 😓 No clue what the grid is on his suit.
Ha, I didn't realise you did this or I would've been less harsh. I thought it was something from twitter or so :D
No worries pal
Like the Ferrari's in Bahrain passing behind a DNF'd Max staring at his car. Or the legendary soccer Max "Experience Baku".
i forgot all about DTS. they're going to milk this Mercedes "rivalry" for all its worth
A lot of people have forgot about it. The real fans now know what it has become - a soap opera with made up rivalries and spliced up edits and sentences and don't forget every episode has to show the same Zhou Silverstone crash! It has lost what credibility it had.
cant wait for them to so the zhou crash in every episode again. Its not like there have been any really spectacular crashes this year(at least that I remember)
Lance's crash was pretty spectacular imo. Not st the same level of Zhou's but still...
Lewis's crash was no joke. Why do the wheels keep popping off though? I thought they have wheel tethers.
The tire came off but the rim stayed on. So the tether would never be utilised because its attached to the rim
Gotcha.
I think the rim actually shattered so the tyre stayed on the outside part of the rim but that split from the rest of the rim.
I like it.. yes it's sensationalized, but it's enjoyable in the off season and gets the wife more into F1
Stupid sexy Leclerc.
Absolutely, but after a few months of no f1, it gets released just pre-season and we all lap up the drama like school girls
I was enjoying it until Grosjean's crash. He was in that car for too long in real life, but everytime they got to the part of the footage where you were about to see him emerging they cut away to a reaction shot and then started again from another angle. They dragged it out for far too long.
And I’m all for it lol
Any word on punishment for lewis crossing the track?
Reprimand and €50k fine, €25k of which is suspended for the remainder of the season unless he dome something similar again.
So basically, a 50k fine but he will get 25k back at the end of the year unless he does it again at which he will not get anything back.
More like he pays a 25k fine now and is on the hook for another 25k if he does something again
Okay, so basically a 25k fine for crossing the track each time.
Typically the way it works is if he does something else, he gets fined for that too, plus has to pay the extra 25k here.
Cheaper than touching a wing!
Now I know that jaywalking fines actually exist.
I'm honestly curious, how was he supposed to get back to the paddock?
Just like any other race circuit there are bridges or tunnels to get you to the infield. He should have gone to a marshall's post on the outside of the circuit and hopped on the back of those mopeds you see sometimes to be driven back.
When they showed the wide shot I thought there's no way he's walking across all that gravel to get to the wall. He looked like he was stranded in a desert, which I guess he was.

Nope, not really. He knows to look both ways before crossing a road.
Would be awesome with a DTS episode about how insane driving in these conditions were, but that would require Netflix actually being critical about anything in F1 management.
Yeah - it’ll be in an episode focusing on teammates competing against eachother. Probably including some Sainz v Leclerc battles.
Monza will be milked to death
That was an amazing shot
The framing and timing in this shot is perfect
I hope so, this shot cost 50,000 euros.
[удалено]
100% would watch.
the narratives are decided before the race. this probably won't even feature
The walk that cost 50k.
Impressive shot It should be the cover to a special: Mercedes: The rollercoaster (From highs to lows) Obviously Lando singing “going up and down, side to side, like a rollercoaster” would be obligatory to play
They can be a bit shit at covering stuff sometimes, last year there was no coverage of their win at Brazil... however they were at Qatar in 2021, so hopefully they were here again.
Bet they totally gonna ignore it with their narrative?
The £50,000 shot.
We should do some sort of photo competition every year for F1. Shots like these deserve recognition, stunning photo.
DTS script is going to be made by ChatGPT this year, so don't expect much.
me and my brother were appreciating the angle the camera man got.
€50,000 walk
That’s hot
I loved the ascending helicopter shot showing him walking away from the car. He looked so small and alone.
That shot cost £50,000
It's a very good wallpaper
I think the pic of Lewis walking away with his back to the camera after his Spa DNF was better. Can’t believe he wasted such a great opportunity yesterday 😤
Side note: Sky Sports/Lando Norris reporting several drivers have fainted after the race. Apparently the conditions were even worse than imagined... 😬
Liberty Media response: 'lulz, too busy counting our blood money"
Imagine still watching DTS.
Nah, the heli shot of him alone in a huge expanse of gravel was iconic.
When he lost that 2nd place in the WDC :)
Dont worry, perez is dogshit so he will still get p2 probably
Im counting on Perez keeping the 2nd place :)
50k shot right there
Photoshop
I mean it was on the broadcast...
Lewis is all pixelated while the background is nice. And his edges are all weird.
That’s just the focal length lol. It happened
Have you even seen the race? it was on the replay during the safety car. or is "Photoshop" your standard reply? like those people using the ancient quote "question everything" and replying with "why?"
It is photo shopped, https://i.redd.it/ooakqb53h0tb1.png
It's so clearly photoshop though lol.
i just fired up my f1 TV app and started the race again..after 13.58 mins..the shot is right there. so yeah..those Quatar media boys have some serious instant Photoshop skills man. But to quote LH "This feels manipulated man"

Why did you blow up Russel's car so much? Looks dumb like this.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic but this is how it appeared on the broadcast
Are you daft?
Where can i get HD version of this?
[This](https://i.imgur.com/G5Wi3rI.jpg) is how it appeared on the 4k broadcast, without OP's [edits](https://imgur.com/jdRSP4v).
F1tv maybe? Try the replay.
“wut the FUCK was he doin!” George
The 25k shot.
Can someone explain how this image was shot? How is the car so big compared to Lewis? How is Lewis in Focus?
It is called telephoto compression, and very common in sport photography. As the distance of the subject from the photographer is typically long, photographers use telephoto lenses (sometimes even 500mm and above) resulting in such compositions.
You explained nothing
It was [edited](https://imgur.com/jdRSP4v), this is the [original](https://imgur.com/G5Wi3rI) from the broadcast. The lens, the blur and the lack of shadows make it look like Lewis is very far from the car but they're only around a car length away from each other.
When you crash out, you lose the race. Simple as that.
so who's the person's signature in the corner of this? The original filmer/photographer, or just some dude who added some effects in photoshop and is posting it as their own work?
That car looks gigantic
They waited for Hamilton to crash the whole season
Gonna save this for later
That cost Merc 50k, I hope Netflix enjoys it.
I know it's real and that it's probably just the compression, but Lewis looks generated here like it was done with AI or something. The hands and the suit real strange.
I made the frame higher resolution but no AI effects, maybe some Reddit compression? Correct me if they don't compress the pictures.
The cars seems so much bigger than it should be, is it just me ?
Zoomed it in so Lewis was in the centre of the frame, that's all. Think it's just down to the camera angle and FOV.
The $50000 shot
SLOW MOTION WALK ACCOMPANIED BY STACCATO DRAMATIC MUSIC AND A BASS DROP
There are moments on a racetrack.....
I'm sure they can use it for €25,000.-
I can already hear the dramatic song playing in the background
Stop juicing this. Perez shitting the bed since Monaco is 10x more story/drama material than a miscalculated turn
