Thanks for the coverage so far.
One thought; the passing back and forth of the microphone looks really awkward. Looks like I'm watching sports interviews from the seventies! Guess I've gotten used to the more natural banter back and forth with both people being micked up. Or maybe it's just that you're standing far away and the constant reaching is throwing me off. Just a thought.

Agree. Content is fine and he's an okay interviewer, but I don't feel like he needs to be in the shot. My suggestion would be to stand next to the camera and have the interviewee look almost directly into the camera with a more close up shot.

Couldn't disagree with you guys more. You can see the camaraderie and respect in tone and body language that comes from talking to Cory instead of the camera.
Cory is not an outsider "journalist". He's friends with most of these guys having been in the trenches along side. In fact, from a purely athletic pursuit, these camera guys have to put more hustle into their day than the golfers by running to get into place and such. I believe that he's earned the respect and friendship that we can see and hear in his interviews.
I'll grant that he needs to better prepare his questions both individually and as a story arc, but that will come with experience.
You are witnessing one of the most compassionate guys on the tour who has the best opportunity to get the most vulnerable honest side of any one of these touring pros. If Cory really applies himself to this form, his interviews will eventually be important historical documents that will long outlive all but the highest highlights of any tournament footage.

Terry Miller has done this in the past. For me, it's awful.

One of us needs to buck up the money and send him a second Mike, or a pair of clip on mikes.

That or chairs. I am sure in time these guys will have a better camera presence in time but Mr. Conrad literally didn't know what to do with his hands and it caused me way more stress than it should.

I haven't watched that interview yet and I like JC, but you made me think of this....

it's a figure of speech.
edit: And your linked clip would have looked much less awkward with apple boxes, but maybe the producers didn't want to drag them onto the court in front of the crowd for that pre-game bit.
