Camera in Miami-CSI

Yep, and they all use the D200 (CSI Miami, New York and Las Vegas as well as NCIS) I love when you see them holding the camera out in front of their face as though framing with the LCD, too. I mean, at least get the *basics* right. Well, okay, the one girl on CSI (Vegas) uses a Nikon P&S, so it's okay then. And don't get me started on the film-winder sound effects. Or my age-old movie gripe, darkrooms always having *red* safe-lights. -- Jeremy | |

How about getting you started on the software that can take a barely perceptible image in a sideview car mirror and enlarge and enhance it in order to clearly identify the person? Or better yet, the person's reflection in the victim's eye that gets enlarged? |

According to Jeremy Nixon :

I mean, at least get the *basics* right. Well, okay, the one girl on CSI (Vegas) uses a Nikon P&S, so it's okay then. And don't get me started on the film-winder sound effects. Well ... I have a digital for which that is realistic. The Kodak/Nikon NC2000e/c (a Nikon N90s film camera converted to digital by a special back/sub-base from Kodak). Since the N90s has to wind the "film" to re-cock the shutter, you are stuck with the noise, even when the film is virtual. :-) Or my age-old movie gripe, darkrooms always having *red* safe-lights. Well ... it depends on what period is being portrayed. Back before Panchromatic B&W films and polycontrast print paper, that is what you would use. And for color film there is no safe color light anyway. :-) Enjoy, DoN. -- Email: | Voice (all times): (703) 938-4564 (too) near Washington D.C. | http://www.d-and-d.com/dnichols/DoN.html --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero --- |

I understand that the CSI: shows tried very hard to get it right and started taking heat from police agencies because they got it right enough that criminals were learning useful things from the show, so perhaps they've decided to deliberately make it less realistic. Trivia item--Pauley Perrette, who plays the one and only CSI on "Navy NCIS", has a master's degree in criminology. She actually knows what she is supposed to be doing. She's also appeared on CSI, but not as an investigator. -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

Perhaps they've been encouraged to err on the side of exaggerating the abilities of investigators as a deterrent to would-be criminals. Have you noticed how the investigators also always seem to tie up all the loose ends and definitively identify the perps within a single shift? -- Hil |

Yeah, and FBI always drops everything and gets them the information they need within the hour and so on. Personally I'm chalking that up to "artistic license"--if they ever did "CSI:The Soap Opera" (suprised they haven't tried that one) they would have the leisure of realistic timing, but trying to show weeks of investigation in a one hour show week after week for years at a time I can see would be a strain on the writers. -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
