John Blankenship Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks, all. It was a long day, but rewarding. My A2 and I arrived about 9:30am, had breakfast at the NFL Films tent at 10, then did final checks with the gear and tried to make the rest of the day S.O.P. (not a time to re-invent the wheel). My biggest concern, traffic, turned out to be a piece of cake. The one street that was open from the North took us right down to where we parked about a block away from the stadium -- pretty much normal traffic that early in the day. (I'll admit to being spoiled by the regular seasion games where we parked in the corner Media Lot right near the door which was next to the elevator we normally took.) Most of the week was Super Bowl or football related for various clients -- players teaching school kids about exercise and throwing passes to nothing but ear-to-ear smiles, sit-down interviews with Heisman winners, the Player's Association party (1:30am wrap for us), frequency coordination, setup and testing, and even a little sleep. I spent a good deal of time turning down gigs because I was already booked. There was lots of last minute scrambling for crews. Sound mixers were in especially short supply but I was still glad to already have my days locked in. Daring to repeat what all the hosts were trained to tell the visiting guests, we had a "Super Time"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) I'm always most impressed with the logistics of it all, more that the shows themselves! getting that stuff all on the field and hooked up, then disconnecting and clearing, plus all the cast and crew... In Hawai'i, the military provides a ton of volunteers vfor the Pro Bowl...It is a huge undertaking, and the show production team has over 100 walkies amongst themselves, plus almost a dozen also on the main PLs... " Some singer with a one word name. " Singing along with Trax ? maybe just lip-syncing ?? the TV mix to the homes had he lead-v too low (even for my taste)... Cuzzin' Al and Bob Costas are terrific pro's! Edited February 8, 2012 by studiomprd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShubiSnax Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm assuming you took this with your iPhone? And then set it back down on top of your iPad, which is on top of your Macbook Pro? Nice touch with the lights. It helps to remind the camera dept than sound is way cooler.

Yes you are correct about the iphone! Apple is in the sound department! The camera brothers like the sound cart also known as the "Deathstar" Maybe next week I will take a better picture of the cart... the Translight was in focus not the cart.

Olle Sjostrom Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 On a farm with cows. 24 hour old calf behind the mom there. I was told they're great to eat since they only eat grass and herbs. We had lunch at a hamburger restaurant. Humanity. (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Marts Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Shooting in an office in downtown Seattle yesterday with this moody skyline in the background. You can see the Space Needle way off at the far end of the street. I took this on my Samsung Galaxy phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Jones Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Beautifully done--really great, thanks. Is that building going to torn down? phil p Nobody knows! I doubt they'll knock it down as it's a landmark of London. But the BBC has always rented it so I guess it's down to what the owners want to do. I think they might rent it to the LSE who are situated across the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
