How It's Made Part Five: Eurovision through the lens

One of the most important elements in the production of the Eurovision Song Contest is the camera work. Sometimes it requires timing and precision for the crew to stay out of the camera shots while setting up a prop. How is this done? Find out in the video.

I love seeing how you all manage to sneak props on and off!!

[@producoespedrogaspar]

These behind the scenes are very interesting! Keep making them :)

[@annerobertz4712]

Are you planning a special feature for the backing vocalists? I have noticed the backing vocalist for the Robin Bengtsson gig :o)

[@lizajansone7877]

That was his friend Erik Segerstedt, who also participated in Melodifestivalen some years before

[@luisshum9601]

Anne Robertz Backing vocalists deserve more attention!!!

[@annerobertz4712]

[@JavidanAmiraliyev]

I'd love to see the spider camera that moves around the stage in 360°. We haven't seen one since 2012

[@moepskie]

Fucking awesome. More of this :D Wish I worked for the production team, sounds like a dream job to me!

[@danikhalu9925]

[@nicokont]

We love Demy!

[@macacatalan6618]

Eurovision might be kinda weird when you watch it live, it would lose a lot of magic (anyway, I still want to watch it live)

[@veronikapasinchuk3366]

Robin Bengtsson❤

[@elizabethbenson8378]

cool but I miss it😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@leonb4356]

Svala ❤😍❤😍❤

[@SVENY]

I feel like working there would be awesome. I've always wanted to operate a steadicam, I have one but I don't have the vest so I dont have as much fun as they do (because the camera is so heavy without a vest)...

[@maymorgan5867]

A video about camera angles and Estonia or Koit weren't mentioned...

[@eu-RON-vision]

You can find them in my video...

[@nettle8605]

The Danish accent is strong lol

[@AdrianProleiko]

"So called Steadicam"

[@lunaros4209]

Am I the only one who noticed that Blanche wore a black dress in the video but a white one on stage?

[@ruseneca90]

Why the steadycam has a second person? What is his role? In Austria, during Mans' performance we see the shoulder of the second guy :D

[@EurovisionSongContest]

+Yordan Mitev The second person operates elements like focus and zoom so the first operator can focus on the shot and the movements.

[@ruseneca90]

Thanks! That's an interesting key fact.

[@Paolo3480]

He is called "focus puller" . In previous ESC he was close to the camera guy, dancing around the camera and the cameraman operating the steadycam. In the latest ESC the focus puller sits somewhere else.

[@newstele3446]

✌

[@ja1207]

how many total performances does an act have to go through throughout the contest....? Including the rehearsals...

[@EurovisionSongContest]

+Justin Angelo Alvarez An act that qualifies for the final might be performed over 15 times on the Eurovision stage

[@user-pi4wd8kj9s]

Weighting esc 2018
