When it's broadcast the viewer don't see it. I do know it's a problem with the lenses and the new camera we have. That’s the way it came back from the field.

I find the "symbolic" shots are my most difficult ones to come up with as an editor, so it's nice to hear how someone else rationalizes their choices. I really like the beginning, you're right, the slow zoom subtly yanks you in. Slightly unrelated question - is there a reason you chose to keep the end of the wide angle lens in the frame? Personally I found it a bit distracting, but perhaps you were going for a type of boxed-in feel? Shawn, thanks for this post.
