Pros about the video

  • A complete perspective of the Ms. Olympia
  • The best female bodybuilders from around the world
  • All competitors shown with their individual on stage routines
  • Multiple camera positions, with a good post production finish
Cons about the video
  • Similar over brightness as the Fitness Olympia 99 tape.
  • Not all competitors interviewed
  • One poor pit camera shot, that's it. (Could have been edited out)
  • The jib and the wide angle shots can be distracting and show less physique perspective

Final Thoughts
Ms. Olympia 2001 was thoroughly competitive and hard to judge. All of the competitors were in tremendous condition. Just think, Joanna Thomas placed last at the event, yet won the Jan Tana in August. The heavyweight class was easier to judge relative to the lightweights, but still had no clear cut winner from the outset. The video was produced very well, other than the brightness and contrast adjustments needed to attain the proper colour depth on screen. This is not a duplication issue, rather some camera-to-lighting issue with the main stage forward camera position.
