She heard us asking for it after the Super Bowl :giveup:

I was expecting this in Arizona BUT it makes sense in her closer backyard. For people not here in the southwest US I’m about the same distance to LA as Philadelphia is to NY in terms of culture. This is why Gaga the a smart to have her test in AZ last weekend.

The cameraman really have the camera close to her the whole time, how does it not block other shots?

It does. They are filming all 4 dates so they will definitely get wider shots without the cameramen, but that makes me me very nervous the film will have a ton of continuity errors…or worse they will make it a Renaissance Tour style film where they don’t even try to be subtle and just throw clearly non-continuous shots after each other in the name of “aesthetic transitions”

It kinda sucked being there for the filming tonight, honestly. She was very focused on just the camera. Which wasn’t often displayed for everyone. Incredible quality for the camerawork and interesting to see how different things were from when I last saw her in Seattle. 
 

BUT… the filming really made the set clunky and lag. If it was my first and only time seeing the show live, it would have really been disappointing.

WOW that’s interesting. I was there for the Chromatica Ball filming in LA and it was just like any show. Curious was the live camera feed on the screen from the crew filming her for the film versus the regular crew it seemed?

It definitely seemed like it to me. Much more limited angles. Some choreography changes that seemed to be intended just for the purpose of filming up close to Gaga. (for instance Poker Face, she stayed facing forward and white Gaga stayed facing backwards through the entirety of the performance so the camera just filmed right on her face). There were also some visual effects that were visible on the screen during performances (blur effects, distortion, etc. very much like those added to the Chromatica Ball afterwards) that also weren’t there before. Costume changes took much longer. She stopped to fix her hair twice while Frederick literally came out and fixed it. Honestly, she pretty much exclusively looked at the cameras.

Also, her vocals were amazing (except Perfect Celebrity, which I thought maybe she was going to redo, but shockingly didn’t) and she did a lot more harmonizing than I’ve seen before. She definitely toned down put your hands up. Probably less than 20 times the entire show, which was shocking. The Edge of Glory and DITD were truly breathtaking. And Interludes were obscenely long compared to normal.

I feel like they should announce filming dates when they announced the dates, so people could choose if they want the experience or not? Since it can make it so different. Hopefully they're doing the far away shots next and it can be more normal for the audience

Its pretty standard for concert films to be filmed across multiple nights beyond the main one just to secure the best camera shots.

Its only a continuity issue if you have Madonna editing it and she decides to use stadium fan panoramas for a show that was in an indoor arena or she just doesn't pay attention to what costume she used where 😂
