Today I was watching the movie Primal Fear, when I noticed this...
Do you think they did that on purpose?

No, it's COFDM. A station in my last local market had one and used it to do a rolling live shot showing road conditions after a snowstorm. No mast, but it doesn't have the same power as a conventional microwave. My current employer uses COFDM backpacks to get live pictures from the middle of protests with no cables.Originally posted by <movies>:
I watched "The day after tomorrow" which just came out on DVD and enjoyed watching the news crews drive down the street in their live truck beaming back pictures magically. No mast no dish. It's magic!
I was thinking the same thing... If you look at the front of the WGN Truck (the hood on the right) it looks like the pole with the wires is on the near sidewalk.Originally posted by Terry E. Toller:
the still looks like a short to medium telephoto shot which would compress the distance between near and far. Could those lines be closer to the camera than the truck? Was the mast being raised in the film? did it hit the wire?
I saw that last night! We found two parts especially funny. First, the part with the reporter standing there, befuddled, saying, "And behind me -- that's a tornado!"Originally posted by <movies>:
That is crazy!

It does look that way, but if you will look at where the lines would connect at the top of that pole, you will see that they continue their downward angle. If they were attached to that pole, they would angle back up on the side closest to the truck and then back down on the other side of the pole.Originally posted by fmrIntern:

From: Jessica Savitch on FindaDeath.com"She had a nut streak in her, but she also had some kind of energy force behind her eyes.----It was like she put on her little custom suit, shot a beam across the room, and zapped you.". That was the way a former co-worker described Jessica Savitch's famous persona which captivated network news viewers in the late 70's and early 80's. She was a tough broad who had worked her ass off to reach the top of the heap and become was an undisputed TV news superstar. Like many superstars, however, she also developed a reputation as a fame-hungry, drug-addled hellcat, which makes her story just that much more compelling.
