Title: ***TERRIBLE LIGHTING AT THE ARNOLD***
Post by: Balloon on March 07, 2009, 07:29:50 AM: Whats up with the lighting?

The Men are not gonna look that good on stage under this type of lighting

It completely washes away all the detail.

Compare this shot from the Arnold to the Ironman Lighting

The Ironman traditionally always had great lighting

Ironman "promoters" are hardcore, they know what's up...honestly, doesn't it just always shake down to those that care the most about it being on top of every "jurisdiction?"

I don't see why the other promoters don't just hire the guys that do the Ironman lighting. It's been well known for over a decade (if not since it's inception) that the IM is the best lit show in all of BBing-even over the Olympia and the latter being the "contests of contests."
You would think that Arnold, given his "be better than anyone attitude" would want those same conditions for his contest especially since it shares his name!

With or without lighting, don't they look like that anyway? :-X

Hope the lighting is better today.

Yeah I agree keep some continuity

Post by: 240 is Back on March 07, 2009, 08:58:39 AM: wow, that background reminds me of a local show, with all sorts of mismatched banners in the background.
