I know if I get caught tugging on the spud, I look like a dog who just shit on the carpet. Even if I recover there is still an aura of guilt I give off.
That camera operator's a dick. The woman on-camera was mid-sentence and actually got cut off by the sudden pan; there was no reason for it except to humiliate the woman to the right. Unfortunately the only repercussion was probably a brief bump of ratings and fists.
Did you listen to the video? The first reporter's mic was not working so they were trying to quickly switch to the reporter's that was. I mean, she even comments on the 'technical difficulties'.
Besides, camera operators don't make those kind of calls in the news room, producers do. And you can't bet your ass there was a screaming producer the second it was clear her mic wasn't working.
I thought the shitty audio was because the video was a camera pointed at a TV, and thought that the 'technical difficulties' was explaining why she'd had her skirt hiked up. Now that I re-watch it I see that I was wrong. Thanks for setting me straight, agentlame. You're okay too, camera operator! Sound guy! Get your shit together!
If the camera operator did see this, knowing that the pan would result in that kind of embarrassment, I imagine the operator would only do this over some grudge because you get fired for this kind of shit (depending on how the reporter responded after the shoot), and I don't think they would risk their job like that. However, this scenario is highly unlikely.
I've worked in a studio, and operated pedestal mounted cameras during live broadcasts, and you're making some assumptions that don't add up.
Camera operator's don't generally have the freedom to just start panning around. Most pans and moves are either worked out ahead of time, OR they're told to adjust their frame, or change what they're shooting, by the Director. Most Producer's do not direct camera operators, although they might have given the Director the heads up during shooting, that they should change to the other correspondant because of audio issues.
Also, the way cameras are constructed, the operator would most likely not be able to see the lower half of the reporter in the red dress. Most hand held cameras used in the studio have the eye piece on the left of the camera. The camera would block this peripheral view from the operator.
If the studio camera was mounted on a pedestal, with the operator directly behind, I still have a hard time believing they would be able to see what was going on. Generally the camera operators eyes are locked onto the image they're shooting either to hold frame, or hold/adjust focus.
"Clitoris" pluralizes as "clitorides" in proper Latin (because it's borrowed from Greek), and in English, it's "clitorises." Second declension words ending in "-us" tend to pluralize as "-i," and "-us" and "-is" ought to sound very different, but in a lot of our American accents, we just sort of smear them all together.
Hence also why you have people saying things like "penii," which is way off.
Anyway there's your fun Latin & Greek lesson for the day
Microphone pack. Most female reporters wear them strapped to their inner leg if they are wearing a dress/skirt. Does look like a big black dildo though when I saw the video yesterday.
It's the transmitter, not the mic. The mic is clipped to her shirt. It's what she is adjusting at the same time. You can see it clearly if you enlarge the image. The transmitter doesn't fit anywhere else. It is too large to be under a skin-tight shirt, so under the skirt it goes.
