    Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown August Thread

    A whole twitter thread of pics:


    It’s not bad, I like that the arena lets them stagger the screens to create depth.

    Some people are too close, and they will be as long as they do this. Nothing you can do about that, but I’d send them all the same background photo to use to create a cleaner look.

      Maybe it was just a test run in terms of not trying out background? NBA has the same background for all of them. And rules too about how to position yourself in the shot so you're "sitting" in the virtual chairs properly.

      I would've liked the current setup where the hard cam is opposing the stage, so you could see the fans from the side view of the hard cam, and in the background of closeup shots.

      After the weekend I'm sure they'll listen to reactions of how the virtual fans looked and will make changes. Though it took some time when they first started before realizing they didn't need to emphasize the fact that there's no fans in the PC and that they should've moved the hard cam to the other side.

        Honestly I was expecting it look wilder than that. No matter what you do it's gonna be awkward and distracting.

          Photos look cool. Interested to hear what it sounds like in action.

            You know it's a big deal when Vince himself appears on TV. WWE has announced that he will kick off Smackdown tonight inside the Thunder Dome.

              Doesn't sound like they're allowing fans mics to be on for SD. Sounds like the artificial crowd noise.

              Like mentioned before, it would've been better if the background were all the same. Either make it seats in the background like NBA does, or even give them a coloured background like blue for SD, red for Raw and so on.

              The closeup shots look distracting, but those zoomed out shots showing hundreds or thousands of screens does look cool.

                So no more hair vs hair?! Now its loser leaves WWE? Will that one last more than a few months? I feel like whoever loses will return at the draft. Maybe back in NXT even, or Sonya winds up in Raw Underground.


                My fave part of the thunderdome besides the pyros (weird how it's the first time we've had pyros in half a year and I barely noticed they returned) is the screens they have fans on.

                During entrances they become part of the entrance. It looks way cooler than any coloured spotlight they do.

                  I like the new venue for the most part. They need to figure out that crowd noise though. I think they need to turn it down a bit during promos.

                  The show itself kinda sucked though.

                    Maybe Sonya just needs a little time off to collect herself?

                      Yeah that’s what I kinda got out of it. Pivoting to give her some time off after what happened.

                        She probably has to go to the trial too, and of course she almost for sure will be moving after that.

                        Even Mandy I could see off TV a while after this. Maybe Sonya loses and after the match gets mad and takes out Mandy?

                        I wonder what the cinematic match of SS will be. Braun vs Fiend is falls count anywhere, perhaps they have another cinematic match?

                          Honestly all the virtual fans in the audience looked impressive, although I wonder if they were hoping the fans would be more animated. Gotta give them something to be excited about.

                            Same. They way they tiered it gave a VERY impressive visual look. But yeah I was hoping to see more out of them instead of just sitting there watching
