A Request for Clarification

[edit]

So a couple of things I would like clarified:

  1. Referring to the Colbert Report episode, did they actually shoot in Pittsburgh or did they use someone else's footage? If the latter, would that be considered as the show being shot in Pittsburgh?
  2. There are music videos in this list, none of which are actually television shows, correct? If this is the case, then they do not belong here.

Interesting points, I feel they are also somewhat valid. However I do feel that to show any part of the metro area one would need to have film "shot" here, so yes technically any 3 hour all exterior on-location drama or a short 2 minute blurb on such shows as Colbert Report would both pass that test IMHO. I can see how this might be clarified, for instance would a report on former President Bush on NBC Nightly News in 2012 be included if it showed footage of him at Pittsburgh International? I would say yes even though I recognize to some there might be a distinction in who, why and when it was shot (archival footage being used years later on a secondary show etc.). Being that the list breaks it down by show and considering that property rights and "correspondents" are actually paid by something that is not show specific (networks or even media conglomerates like Comcast for NBC News and then playing on CNBC and then re-run on a promo for NBCSports Network), the only uniform way to recognize "shot in Pittsburgh" is to list by the show, music video or advertisement. For all we know The Colbert Show could have "shot" the footage of Cheney in the most recent episode and it is that "shot" that is being fair-used by other networks and media. Although that may be unlikely, unless wiki standards break it down by the employer or actual camera person (which to find that may qualify an editor for Harvard Entertainment Litigator scholarship territory), citing the show that features the "shot in" is the only reasonable way for volunteers to categorize media properties that are intentionally complex. As John Stewart once asked on his show about whether Animal Planet was owned by Comedy Central, and then later told by producers that Viacom had a steak in both. As far as the music videos specifically I think the stronger the case for possibly deleting momentary archival footage recycled on such shows as Colbert Report--the stronger it makes keeping music videos and advertisements that flew producers, talent and directors in and hired cast locally and shot for days or sometimes weeks in and around the metro area. "Shot in" truly applies to music videos and advertisements possibly even more then shows like Mr. Belvedere or Hope and Gloria. Just MHO. Marketdiamond (talk) 12:38, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Colbert wasn't shot in Pittsburgh. They used of brief local news clips and that does not in any way constitute an episode being filmed there. By this standard, any nightly news broadcast or news magazine or variety (eg late) show showing a local clip would thus qualify as "local" and that would be beyond ridiculous. I've already deleted some Colbert shows confirmed to just use local news clips. Additional ones should likely be deleted. Because of the lack of standards of what filmed or produced in a location actually means, and that means at minimum a location shoot if not and episode fully produced at the location, this list has become an unreliable mess. Including sports events? Ridiculous. CrazyPaco (talk) 17:16, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
