Team Nation - Camera 1
Job Title:Â Studio camera for KTBS-TV and KPXJ CW 21Â
Hometown:Â Shreveport, Louisiana
Nickname:Â HellCam 3
Skills/Talents: “I’m robotic, but often do things on my own.”Â
Family:Â Camera 2, Camera 3 and TowerCam
Favorite Movie:Â One Hour Photo
The craziest thing you’ve ever done: Aside from regularly crashing into other cameras and lights during live newscasts, I’ve come close to mowing down a few anchors while they’re walking in the studio. On a sour note, there’s a sexual harrassment suit pending against me. Biatches.Â
Fantasy girl:Â Annie Leibovitz
Favorite food:Â “If you thought film, you are such a stereotypical thinker!”
What might people be surprised to learn about you? “I have tried and tried to get  the production department to implement Feng Shui in the studio. C’mon, guys! If the news set faced east, don’t you think ratings would improve?”
Fav saying:Â “What I see is what you get!
Goals: “I’ve always wanted to venture outside the studio and do a National Georgraphic shoot on the procreation of wombats.”

Sherri you really have it out for this cam don’t you? After all, it did almost decapitate you… haha.

I, too, have been victimized by this camera! I think we should file a class action lawsuit against it. but then, it would probably be even more aggressive than it already is!
I think it is possessed by the ghosts of cameramen past!

Don’t tell Cam 1 I told you this, but I regularly catch him/her drinking (quite heavily) down in the studio. I don’t mean to ruffle anybody’s feathers, but he should really wait until after the 10pm newscast to hit the sauce.

I know, Nick C….I’m enabling Cam 1 in his drinking before the 10:00 news because I want the fuzzy glam shot. That so-in-focus-digital stuff is cruel.

you guys wouldnt be so tough on Cam 1 if you guys had ever tried to break into the wombat procreation film biz….its not that easy …so if a guy needs a drink every now in then to relax while hes waitin for his dream job to happen …well so be it…give the Cam a break

Well all the studio cams are crazy!! i do the opposite of what they are supposed to do and we often have to kick them around. Good thing they are not out in field production or we would have gotten rid of them!
