GTA 5 Roleplay |  

When your editing the bits you should edit in a fake camera thing like white corner things and a battery percent idk it would be cool and add the experience for us:)

I love that you use the same car as Howard

stringers are badass! Shot in the Dark is a great series. thanks for the recommendation and happy thanksgiving Jeff!

This is gonna be a great series

Great new series Jeff, I would recommend removing the UI (map and street corner displays) if you can when shooting a scene and this would be awesome to see live on live streams.

You should definitely get polecat and buggs to do this with you. A lot of those companies that sell video and pics to the news have multiple feet on the ground, to ensure that every angle and every scene is shot. This way if there's ever two scenes that need filmed, or one like the end scene where it would've been handy to be on the other side, it would've worked out well with both of you or all three of you! Super excited to see where this goes!!!

Happy thanksgiving!! It would have been good if u had buggs and polecat too where one could have been camera man, one the interviewer/journalist

Cool episode. Please continue with this series

Officer: Ok sir, do you know where you're at? Civ: Yeah, I'm in Sandy Shores. It's a shithole. Me:Seems legit.

Hey they need to make orange lights for that car because that's what they use on shot at night

This is cool but you could also be a COPS camera man

use the camera emote more it makes it more legit

Happy thanksgiving everybody love everybody and have a great day ❤️🐔🍗

Have the camera out.

Bet Jeff Wish He Was A (LEO)

It seems weird being a real stringer and then seeing him play as a stringer

My advice? While you think it blocks the view the camera emote is more immersive. I think it’s better for all parties involved so you don’t look like a weirdo with body armor just running around.

An idea for you: if it isnt too hard, put together a "news video" from fottage you took.

Polecat was racing him XD when he crashed lol

I dont know if its allowed but, if you can, get a "press" helicopter with some friends and film some pursuits!

You should get buggs and polecat to be rival stingers

You should get a script or whatever and replace the rocket launcher, or some other over the shoulder weapon, with a news camera of some sort. I also think you should get a weazel news helicopter skin. And last thing, if possible get a weazel news skin for a police car, suv, van, etc.

*Or like the movie Night Crawler, but he drove a Challenger SRT

Do more of this

Only polecat fans know what really happened to that sultan

I get that this is based off a show, but it would be cool as hell to roll up in a news van with a newscaster and do those on-scene live reports. Getting an interview with one of the officers would be icing on the cake. Something to think about for later.

Wow that cop Daniel was happy to give an interview, he immediately told you all he knew! Make sure to get his face in the paper :D Hope the brass won't kick his ass tho

Awesome! But I would love to see like an actual edited news coverage in the end of these videos of all the things that u recorded, hosted by Bob from Weasel news!

That's the crash from Polecat's video. I love how all of these connect together :D.

Also let the officers in on details that he may not have. Talk to someone in the higher command and let them know what you are doing to see if can get a permit to follow behind emergency vehicles.

Camera out looks much better

Fly a news Helicopter alongside air one on a pursuit.

Stop putting the camera in the trunk, it’s so unnecessary.

Yo my dude make this a series foreal this is actually more intriguing than most of the dojs you should make a weasel news channel and cover all the scenes you just filmed and tell the doj community what happened you can also do a most wanted list i think it would bring extra realism to this already great server you guys have created. By the way happy Thanksgiving to you and your family brother keep up the good work.

use the cam looks realistic and you can just use third for us

Yesssss, do more episodes. And can you try to get Polecat and/or Buggs involved too, maybe as your camera crew or as other reporters to cover multiple stories.

Now you just need buggs to be a rival stringer

I think a reported would keep their camera or at least one camera, on the front passenger seat so they could just grab it in a second and not have to run to the boot/trunk and get it out and then have missed the shot. Just my opinion.

Jeff this made me think of Nightcrawler right away. Great movie, highly recommend it.

This was awesome! You should take the clips of what you "shoot" and put them together at the end to make up quick stories. Have Nicole do a V.O. to have it sound like a true news story

please use the camera script, it makes the scene much more realistic

I honestly really enjoyed this episode! I believe this will be a great addition to your DOJ experience. It was quite intriguing, and I really had fun just watching this. Amazing job!

Jeff, you should request a vest that says “Press” if this becomes a regular thing.

already watched the whole season of "Shot in the dark" so far Scott is my favorite.

the camera in my opinion makes it look more legit

For immersion reasons I'd have the camera out all the time, so the LEOs actually see that you are doing something.

Jeff, did you get OnCall from OnScene TV?

In the back you could hear 1K-27 from the dispatcher lol

I think that cop thought you were LEO man he gave you ALL the info haha

Shot in the dark, have me all hyped up

Surprisingly entertaining! Great stuff Jeff. Need "PRESS" on your vest.

Our local stringer passed away enroute to a house fire due to a traffic accident, my department sent 4 officers, and in total there was 750 law enforcement and emergency responders at his funeral. He was super pro law enforcement/ first responders.

You should do this with Buggs or Polecat and have a competition like in the Netflix show. Would be funny as hell

Another person already brought this up but you can just RP that the camera is on the front passenger seat instead of opening the trunk and I would prefer the first person mode because you can actually move around if you need to

I think if you do the camera emote or get a script for the phone camera would be better than awkwardly standing near the scene. Overall great new series!

just so you know jeff some law enforcement have a media personal that can still use lights and siren becuase they work for the dept.

Jeff, spot on. I actual string in NY/NJ. That show is actually spot on as well.

Yeah jeff, just put the camera out so they can just distinguish youre from the press just doing your job to get stories

when you are covering a call, you should do the camera emote instead of first person!

You should do an episode filmed like "COPS"

When I was watching that new Netflix series I kept thinking the entire time this is something Jeff Favignano would love. Nice to see you incorporating this into the doj series. And Happy Thanksgiving Jeff. Keep the doj series flowing! :)

That was pretty great. Is it possible to run Ambers on the newer cars? or get one of the Groupe6 SUV Slicktop w/o graphics? - My friend and I do this on weekends (we call it newschasing) and we run ambers on our truck, and sometimes help with scene safety. We have a great relationship with the local FD and a pretty good relationship with the PD.

Yeah, the last part on the last episode in the season was left me stunned!!!

Great video Jeff! I think that a camera script would make it 10x better. Also keep up the good work!

"Fook Mei Seems legit.

Amazing idea! Maybe you can release a second video of some sort that is like a cap of all the scenes that happened through the day with a voice over.

This is a really good idea Jeff. Love to see different ideas, also Happy Thanksgiving to you Nicole and Dave

Jeff If I not mistaken, I believe in the State Of California you are able to apply for a Press ID and then you are able to go into the scene line then take footage like that....

You should always have the camera out. It makes it more realistic and easier to understand for the other players. Nice idea for a new series.

Haha I was doing a stringer RP yesterday in the server I’m apart of! Finished the show and was very pleased with it.

Jeff, you should create a logo for OnCall and have it in the corner like an actual news station. Just a suggestion.

you should have /emote camera copied so you can quickly get your camera out by pasting it quickly

Love this new series. Maybe if the grouupe six cars can go unmarked you should use that instead

Awesome episode I saw Shot in the Dark it was awesome and was interesting. Hope to see another.

Really like how the officers accepted u around the scenes and no one was a jerk about it looking forward to more episodes

Next doj idea: celebrity assassination

This was dope Jeff, camera script would be even cooler - looking forward to more

Jeff this is @PattyMayo 's second job i know how this works its cool. He is originally a Bounty Hunter but he was hurt so he is now a stringer. He is back into bounty hunting but he also is working as a stringer.

Do more of this series buddy. I enjoyed it. Maybe do a live stream of it like 2 hours.

I say you should use the big camera so you always get asked from the Leos about what you’re doing there

@Jeff Favignano That is actually my job I am a stringer for Elkhorn media a based in Eastern Oregon. In fact the other day on a structure fire call I had in older man try to literally fight me. I immediately back down and stepped away. Then he proceeded to attempt a fight with our local chief of fire. So we ran the story anyways. The funniest part is I had my Glock 21 on my hip. After retreating to a safe location I shot the photos with my Nikon 200 the 500 mm lens. Last week I was on the story of a 1952 Cessna 180 day crash at our airport. It was a beautiful aircraft he just purchased it for $250,000, luckily he only touched the prop. Speaking with a witness on touchdown his brakes were jammed or he applied too much brake pressure. Luckily is all it's going to need is an engine rebuild granted that is easily 25,000. I have a very awesome way of sending my photos and video to the studio while on location. Happy Thanksgiving buddy

After each scene you could do a quick mock story using your footage - just remove cameraman commentary (yours) and use a weazel news type script. It'd be interesting to see if you could come up with a good story from what you shot.

I would for shure use the camera yes it looks odd but it shows the officer's you are with the press right away. And also if you can use ambers thats what i use

Jeff i think it would be great if you could walk up to am officer and interview them

I used to do that for a living, I would just film stuff, I rarely talk at all when I am filming. Never had an issue. I was way less intrusive though, I just set up my tv cam, zoom in, hit record, then slowly get closer the longer I was there. I usually went to fires shootouts big car wrecks, anything smaller ya didnt bother with. Sometimes though nothing happened. Which was a good thing. I sat at the station and worked on other stuff.

Aye Jeff! This episode looks awesomeee! Keep making this series!!

Happy Thanksgiving and you guys should check out Patty Mayo

The episode was cool I questioned it at first but you know how to RP very well and it shown. Wonder if you could possibly have another ped that works for Live P.D. I have always loved the idea of 1st person cops styled episodes. Would be like the old LSPDfr videos but way more intense.

You should use a challenger like Jake Gyllenhaal does in Nightcrawler

Hey Jeff, this was really good; i loved the suspense and thrill of it! I think you shouldn't worry about opening the trunk all theme, just RP that its on the passenger side seat. Hope to see more like this and maybe getting Buggs and Pollcat involved, i think it would be hilarious!

"Uh my name is fuok me" just another day on the doj!

Hey Jeff love the videos man, keep up the great work! And I personally like you holding the camera while on scene because it looks more realistic to the other players, than you just standing there. Enjoyed the video though!

There needs to be a news camera script in the servers next time u should have an other cub with u like Buggs, Polecat, Hallow, Alex or some body to like rp as a 🎤 man just in case an officer gives u a statement or something like that

At the end of each episode you could add all the footage so it looks like a news thingy

Bro u do crazy stuff all the time Playing with friends ..going around cars speeding is part of the job ..the repo tow trucks that do police calls at night be breakin all kinda of traffic laws

i would prefer having the camera out

I love OnSceneTV and I suggested this on Buggs' channel a while back. Glad we think alike Jeff lol. Hope it leads to a long series

Use the camera emote, it lets the other police know what’s going on.

This was really cool. Is there a way to record the scene and then later use the scene editor to set up your "camera shot" and then edit that footage in? It would be more editing work but might be more immersive until you get a camera script.

Couldn't you use in game cellphones camera to zoom and make look more realistic? Maybe retexture it to be a camcorder?
