Breaking Election News: CNN projects…a journalist into the studio?!
Wolf Blitzer was about to poo himself cause CNN was able to make a reporter appear as a hologram in the studio.
Evidently, the reporter stands in a tent with 35 HD cameras pointed at her and they can make her appear, holographically-ish, into the CNN studio. 20 computers crunch numbers to adjust image movements and whatnot.
My first thought was, why not use those cameras to report – not point them all at a reporter so you can virtually see her on TV, where everyone is seeing her anyway.
It looked like a green screen and, unless you’re watching Lord of the Rings, green screens are visually coded as amateur and low budget.
I wouldn’t mind seeing the same dude that made fun of the touch screen on SNL making fun of this.

Later on, CNN showed video of Kenyans celebrating an Obama victory, it was grainier than a bad youtube video.
Too bad they couldn’t have used one of those 35 HD camera for an actual story…
I just can’t stop thinking about from a journalistic standpoint how retarded this is. What would McLuhan say?
