- Friendly reminder that this clip went viral a week ago, and everyone said “that cameraman deserves a raise,” and it was actually shot by a WORKING MOM.
- Literally like walking into a time machine. Most of this preserved as it was when first opened in 1910. Insanely cool. #MLBatRickwood
00:00 - Lots of love for the end zone camera angle in DC. And it’s justified. The shots are gorgeous. According to FOX, it’s actually NOT a traditional “broadcast” camera. Instead, it’s a Sony mirrorless on a handheld gimbal. You can see the op in this clip.
- The camera operator framing this up in real time, the director taking it. The people who work on live sports production are incredibly talented.
- The oldest stadium in the country doesn’t have camera wells. Not surprising! So six of the @MLBONFOX primary game cameras are built upon platforms on the ROOF of Rickwood Field. That’s also where the broadcast booth is! #MLBatRickwood
- While we wait for the start of the second half... Who wants a Camera Map?!?!
- Saturday's @NWSL Championship marks the first time the league will appear on a national broadcast network in primetime. Firsts on the show: - a four-point cabled aerial camera - a Steadicam op will be allowed on field pregame and during key stoppages in play (goal celebrations)
- Absolutely love this shot from behind-the-scenes of the Super Bowl Halftime Show. That's Toré Livia operating the Steadicam. He's a killer live camera operator that's been nominated for 31 Emmys and won SEVEN, working on productions like live musicals, award shows. 👏👏
