videoing an event has never been a problem in my experience -- but my gut
tells me that a live TV hook-up could be "interesting." Might be worthwhile
doing as an experiment -- but my prediction is that having it all live will
encourage "grandstanding" particularly in an event focused on high voltage
political issues. My inclination would be shoot first, edit and broadcast
later. this would not mean much of a delay (instant edit etc). I also think
it would make better TV. OS is so episodic (things happen when they happen)
that having film crews just sitting and waiting could be a downer. But with
a good edit, the story gets told. For an example, see the (excellent I
think) tape USWEST did.
