Are NBA broadcasts too brightly lit? (lemmy.world)

Comparing, visually, today’s modern NBA broadcast and the way things were shot 20-30 years ago; I believe that today’s visual presentation of the league is bland to watch and too brightly lit. I think this takes away from the game a bit because it feels less like the games carry less weight. This is probably a dumb take, but I think the games would look better if you could barely see the crowd and the lighting was more dramatic.

Modern

Classic

Interesting question. I'm a new fan so I don't really have a historical perspective. I'll see what I think when next I tune into a game, tomorrow probably. Broadcast brightness probably varies by arena and possibly TV broadcaster though, no? (I say possibly TV broadcaster because I suspect all TV networks licensed to broadcast the game get the same camera feeds and probably use the same ones)

    Definitely varies by arena and court color, Cavs tends to look washed out a little bit imo.

    Warriors games are bright AF.

    By broadcaster I haven't noticed a particular difference with the colors, but there's a big audio difference sometimes with how much you can hear the players and fans
