Classification seems to be a hard thing for a lot of web developers. More often than not, sailing sits under leisure rather than sport, or if it is in sport, then it [...]

David Fuller — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 11:10:04 +0000

Filming the sport of sailing is a specialisation that requires quite an investment in technology and time. As a result, there are a limited number of ‘go to’ companies for TV production. One of those companies is Sunset+Vine|APP, who have covered just about everything in sailing – from the Olympics to the CNN sailing magazine program [...]

Olympic Sailing TV Coverage Wins Gold.

David Fuller — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 11:28:29 +0000

The coverage of the London 2012 Olympic sailing was almost completely ruined by a satirical viral video that poked fun at the sport as well as the producer of the piece. For those sailing fans lucky enough to be living in the UK with a fat connection to the internet during the Olympics, the coverage [...]

Amercia’s Cup Emmy Nomination A Good Start.

David Fuller — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:10:21 +0000

Once again, the America’s Cup is celebrating the brilliance of their tv technology team, but the constant promotion of what are essentially (hard) computer graphics only highlights the lack of personality driven stories about sailors coming out of ACEA – the people responsible for marketing the new Americas Cup product. The grand vision for San [...]

America’s Cup Live on NBC Network TV in America. We all know that the new package is technologically good, but if great TV was about great computer graphics, they would broadcast people playing Call of Duty live.
