RIO - Most of the time, behind the scenes TV stuff can be a little boring, a touch mundane.
Not so when you're talking Olympics, and a couple of colorful characters like KARE 11's Chris Hrapsky and Dave Schwartz.
Chris and Dave operated in Rio as multi-platform journalists, meaning that when out on a story that were acting as reporter, producer and photographer, all wrapped up into one. On many stories they used more than one camera, requiring them to use a trick to allow them to match or 'synch' audio when editing. The standard procedure is to use a hand clap as a reference, but when you're holding a microphone in one hand it's impossible to clap.
Thus was born the 'slap', a trick Chris and Dave used when interviewing athletes and celebs in Rio. Check out the collection of famous slaps they compiled from their two-plus weeks in Rio, from Gold m. It may make your own cheeks hurt just watching.
