I'm amused but not entirely surprised to see that live video production hasn't meaningfully progressed since I was involved 30+ years ago.

Yes, the technology has evolved – digital vs analog (partly – for example analog comms here because digital (optical) "isn't redundant" (lol, what?)); higher resolution; digital overlays and effects, etc. But the basic process of a bunch of humans winging it and yelling to each other hasn't changed at all.

This is an industry ripe for massive disruption, and the first to do it will win big.
