The 'Sticks' Crews
On the road each network had two crews -
'sticks' and 'rovers'. The sticks crew jumps out of the motorcade and
races around the back and sets up on the camera platform to catch the
speach. Meanwhile, the rover crew is handheld and follows the
candidate into and out of the hall, and catches audience reaction
during the speach.
The rover crew is also ready to catch anything out of the ordinary -
gun fire, an explosion, etc. The rover's camera is always on and
ready to shoot with the push of a button during an event like this.
