For tv journalists working outdoors, a very good piece to camera (PTC) is not normally quick and could unquestionably be more than 1 take. Time and once more, we have noticed bloopers of this. Recently, a BBC reporter as well was photo-bombed in an uncommon way, but saw the humour behind it.
Joe Tidy, Cyber Reporter for BBC News, was not too long ago carrying out a PTC in Germany’s Frankfurt on a really serious problem, when two little ones decided to pull an on-camera prank. They had been noticed walking backward behind him in the frame! Unaware of what was going on, Tidy is noticed speaking to the camera.
However, when the footage created it to the editing table, he realised what had occurred and was left in splits. Sharing the clip on Twitter with his followers, Tidy congratulation the two lads who “sneakily” walked across the frame. “Honestly I’m not even mad, this is inspired. Didn’t even spot it until in the edit,” he added, applauding the duo.
