The true stars of Eurovision are the audio visual techs.

Truth. Check out this camera shot from a few years back: https://youtu.be/C3TBvJUtuHs

That’s from the Norwegian finals! The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation has such an impressive and passionate technical crew, it is really fascinating how they manage to make truly world-class productions with a comparatively limited set of resources, both in terms of manpower and money.

That was actually from the ESC final in Moscow (sigh) 2009.

They had a large Scandinavian crew for the broadcast production though: https://m-m-pr.com/eurovision-diary-2009/ ... different times.

My bad. Great work by the Russian crew. Got my years mixed up, Norway won in ‘09, but hosted in ‘10.

they certainly did a great job! Things like the rain overlays for the polish performance were pretty stunning, and it made me wonder how stuff like this is done.

They are using CuePilot
