Thanks for sharing!
All-in-all, I thought you did a good job of providing coverage of such a vast event. I don't speak or understand Polish so I don't know if the commentators were reporting or commenting on "leaders" or not as there was no real way to visually know who was winning or leading the race in various categories or who the front runners were. I realize having a "leader board" may have been way beyond the scope of your mandate for this project (and perhaps where the commentary helped) as there is just too much going on.
I am curious to know what challenges you faced and how you communicated with cameramen and commentators and/or event officials?
Also, how many cameras you used and what they were?
The rest of my comments are more of a rant on CDNs and advertisements but here you go:
I'm the first to admit that my internet connection is not that great (up to 1.5 Mb/s but usually in the low to mid 100's kb/s) and I have to say that your video took ages to load, especially the opening advertisement, although high quality HD, it buffered severely and only played 1 or 2 seconds at a time. The main program seemed to play smoothly and adjusted periodically with variable bitrate without buffering or at least minimally, I say this in case you have any input or control in dealing with your main CDN (I assume the opening Ad is a pre-roll and not yours), my point being, it took way too long to play and get to your program, which almost led me to abandon watching. I understand advertisers want their message played at the "Best" quality, but severe buffering that takes 5 minutes or more to play a 30 second spot is not beneficial to anyone.
Again, sorry for the RANT, it has nothing to do with you, and completely out of your control but I say this as general feedback to CDN's and/or producers choice of such from a 'viewers' perspective.
Keep up the great work!
