PBS News Hour etc.

[jasonmillard81]

Hi all,

 

Anyone familiar with the cameras/equipment used to film PBS News Hour?  Also, how about their documentaries in general. Any advice on how to find out this information?

 

I like how they create their news and documentary programs and am curious how they do it.

Thanks!

Not really, but a studio set-up is way different than what you'd use for actual filmmaking. You'd use specialized studio/broadcast equipment.

A little more in this direction:

 

Guess they use a lot of Sony. Other than that. Google is your friend. It's the easiest to find out about movies and series, though:
