On Camera, Unexpectedly

Written by Leslie Hanson, Pittsburgh November 2009


Juggling a six-foot long microphone cord, cables, and a camera, four Pitt students film a busy laboratory at Compunetix in Monroeville, Pa. One student balances the camera on his shoulder and films lab technicians as they show off components of teleconferencing systems they’ve developed. Another holds the cable cords and asks the technicians questions about their work, while the third hoists the microphone over the scene and the fourth supervises the action.
