Did anybody else happen to catch 60 minutes a few weeks ago when they interviewed Syria’s leader in a formal sit down interview?

It was disclaimed with the fact that the interview would be allowed only if a local crew shot it. Either their Tx / Rx batteries failed, they didn’t monitor sound onsite or the sound mixer wasn’t paying attention because it sounded just like the camera mic captured the audio. That’s what you get when it’s half-assed but if it’s conditional, you have to accept it.

It was made worse because it was done in a room with bare walls which produced an echo. The least they could have done was to hang a blanket or get more people in the room to baffle the echo.

I can’t remember if the lighting was really bad but the thin audio really stood out. It makes you really appreciate a pro crew.
