Technology has improved almost every single industry, but sometimes the biggest screw ups are due to these improvements. The latest example of this comes from a weatherman in North Carolina who accidentally activated a camera filter leading to the embarrassing on air moment. As the now viral video shows, the camera rolled through a number of funny filters as the he tried to give a weather report.
Justin Hinton, a weatherman in Asheville, North Carolina, was giving an outdoors weather report during a snowstorm, when he unintentionally set off quite the distraction. He accidentally put on a camera filter that cycled through a variety of hilarious augmented reality additions to his face. Throughout the report, he can be seen wearing a gold chain, a space helmet, and some wild facial hair.
"The photog[rapher> I was working with said something about the screen having weird faces. He didn't elaborate, so I said it would probably go away. Needless to say, it did not go away,” said Hinton in a Facebook post explaining the incident. Luckily the weatherman, like everyone else was able to laugh at his viral moment. Hopefully next time the filters at least match the news report.
