I respect the ENG Field Crews by not interfering with live shots or even bother them in vehicles. This time I waived the internal policy I follow. I believe the cameraman and reporter, Dick Brennan were just looking at raw video. I knocked, and asked if I could take a picture, and the reporter leaned back so I could capture this, thanked the two and left.
Fox was the last to implement modern newsgathering. You feel like you're in the late 1990s with just tape decks and basic nuking equipment to go ether in space or to the Empire State Building. Many major TV stations had gone to a "file based workflow" that is video captured on some form of a disk, baked as a file, dump on a PC laptop then sent back to the station via FTP links with 4G mobile internet. It wasn't until the last few years Fox implemented anything that was digital beyond encoded video. In fact at the same time, my local Fox station was an O&O at the time and a lot of the video from the field was nuked from the mast to the station and the video was that lousy stretched SD video. When it became an affiliate they implemented file based workflows and the taped field stories looked more decent.
