Behind The Scenes At The White House…
In case you were wondering what the live broadcast configuration of speeches delivered from the East Room look like these days, here’s your answer.
Just behind President Obama is the main head-on pool camera, and to the left of it is a backup camera, which is always provided in case there are technical problems with the main camera. I’m not sure what the camera to the right is for, but suspect it is there for archival purposes. You can barely see it, but there’s also a small camera directly below the main teleprompter, which is the camera for the webstream on the White House website. Thanks to CNN’s Andy Rose for the pix and details. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee
Would have thought by now they would have simplified/tidied the cabling, multicore, loom or fiber… roll it all back and hide it in a locker
It is amazing.
What type of lights are these?
That’s pretty cool. I always wondered what it looked like behind the scenes.
