Kentucky reporters do back to back live shots from the same apartment

Two Kentucky reporters who work for the same station and also happen to be roommates created a home TV studio with two liveshot locations.

Connor James and Will Puckett share an apartment and set up a camera with TVU Networks technology to get the signal back to the station.

They then did back to back live shots for their station, WYMT — but from opposite sides of the room.

“All we do to do was turn the camera 90 (degrees),” tweeted James.

James used a blank wall with a TV monitor providing a colored wash of light while Puckett used a wood toned accent wall as his background.

Today we set up a one cam/one TVU rig for back to back live shots at our apartment. All we had to do was turn the camera 90°

The backlight form the TV ended up looking really good.
