Hit and Run

You hear that phrase and what do you think? We’re about to report on yet another car accident in the DC metro area.

You would be wrong.

Tonight’s incident happened in our studio. It was only a minor collision and nobody was hurt.

You may be asking yourself, how the heck did we get a car into the studio.

Trade secret.

However, the vehicle in question wasn’t a car. It was a camera.
To be precise, it was one of our robotic cameras.

Derek and Jennifer were starting the 5:30pm half hour standing at a position in front of the set. As Derek and Jennifer walk back to the set, all of a sudden, I hear our robotics operator yell out, “watch out Derek!” ..But it was too late, he had already been clipped.

Nobody was asked for their license and registration. The police weren’t called. There wasn’t even an insurance report filed…it was all in the line of duty and one of the hazards of walking in a studio with cameras that can run you down!

Seriously speaking, nobody was remotely hurt in this incident and the names weren’t changed to protect the innocent.
