I noticed the microphone is pretty quiet until he pivots and the wind hits the microphone. Was that faked?
Parallel said:I don't see it either, nor do I see the reason why they'd do it on this occasion.
I guess no one is saying that the ship footage is fake, so they have the footage from a real boat and think it's too boring without a talking head. They then rig a green screen and a reporter and employ their VFX guy to do precious matching of camera position and zooms for a one-off clip, (which by the way is a true happening and doesn't seem that pivotal), because it needs a bit of pointing, as opposed to doing a voice-over?Nuke said:As for the why, the first thing that comes to mind is that it's way cheaper to use the green screen that's already right there in the studio than to pay for the transportation for a whole camera crew and the reporter to actually be there.
