It’s the Franklin Central Flashes vs the Bloomington South Panthers.
I’m shooting these games for Comcast’s Xfinity On-Demand.
The production van that is used is very small. Only 3 people can fit inside. Some one to do Graphics, handle Replay and the Director.
The system is based on the Newtek Tricaster System. A all-in-one video control room in a box. NewTek TriCaster covers all of the main areas of video production, including live switching, video capture, audio mixing, nonlinear editing and project distribution via Internet streaming or standard definition video outputs.
Graphics: Dell Vostro 3750 laptop w/LiveText 2.0 & LT Scoreboard software
Replay: NewTek TimeWarp TW-42 TriCaster External Replay Controller
A small system, yes, but affordable. I wish I owned something like this.
It’s the Avon Orioles vs the Hamilton Southeastern Royals.
The camera system that this company uses is pretty simple, though I’m not always happy with the camera cable that they have. I end up having to tape them up real good so as not to have a bunch of loose cable dragging behind me.
I have a game tonight and tomorrow night. Had 2 cutdown games earlier in the week, so this will be a good week of work.
Next Thursday will be the beginning of Superbowl events.
I’m shooting basketball down in Bloomington, IN. It’s the Edgewood Mustangs vs the Bloomington South Panthers.
Had our first real snow fall this morning, so getting down here from Indianapolis, wasn’t easy. Frankly, I was hoping that the game would be cancelled.
But it wasn’t! So I’ll be shooting camera 4, under the basket.
Normally I shoot sports with TV40 Sports. Have been for a number of years. But lately I’ve been shooting with Producer Plus Production.
TV40 has a slightly larger production, but their market is primarily central Indiana. Because Producer Plus works for Comcast, their market is a lot larger and Producer Plus pays a lot more.
And one, I guess, should always follow the money! So I’m getting ready for another Comcast game tonight.
Shooting Wrestling tonight for Comcast’s Xfinity On Demand. It’s the Lawrence Central Bears vs the Fishers Tigers.
This is a Cutdown shoot. Basically that means a 2 camera B-Roll shoot. We shoot just like a regular game, all of the matches, the coaches, the key players, the fans and interviews, but the differences is that instead of the game being packaged right here with a production truck, our cards will be FedEx to Atlanta tomorrow for editing.
The images will be edited down to the highlights of what happen here tonight and a narrator will be add.
Then the finished program will be sent across Comcast’s sport network.
