Camera Man of Producers Face in Unification

[Mansa40]

In Unification pt2 when Data, Spock and Picard are leaving the Pro-Counsuls Room (they just knocked out Sela) they pass up a table. On the table close to the camera is a tall thing with a reflective surface. At the top you see the reflection of some guys face. Camera Man? Or are Romulan knick-knacks haunted with human males?

Yes, this is a famous and well known blooper.

The other is a boom and microphone being seen in the reflection of a mirror in one of the Mrs. Troi episodes.

I seem to remember you can even tell that he's chewing gum!

Camera Man of Producers? Whu?

The reflection was that of Bill Gocke, who was operating the overhead sound boom to record the actors' dialog. It certainly wasn't his fault, but he never heard the end of it. (I certainly gave him a hard time about it whenever possible!)

A hard time about what -- getting caught on camera, or smacking gum while recording sound?

Ya know, it's really interesting to put a name to one of those passing accidental faces. You used to see them a lot in things like car window reflections in TV shows before production crews started getting more careful.
