Reply #1: Please remember that in 1963 news cameras

[Warpy]

using videotape were enormous and power hogs. In fact, most remote news cameras were film cameras. There was little live broadcasting unless it was an an indoor venue with a large enough power supply. There was no way to put huge cameras along the entire route. Remember also that consumers only had 8 mm film cameras and those were also expensive. We are lucky to have the footage that we do.
