    "We'd hate to have a real job, sitting behind the desk all day" What you do guys is a real job, you love it and it's something exciting, challenging, creative, and useful. Thumbs up, I had no idea it's this complicated to capture the match, probably it's same with soccer, F1, olympic games and alike.

      Hayden Allred I feel dumb writing that comment 2 years ago. After all this is vice. There was some acting and promotion element it. I was overwhelmed by vice's editing at that moment, and my logic can't function well right after watching it.
      After reading more and more vice. I realize how fake they were, I didn't mean they are as bad as fox. But their storytelling skill really can fool u some time
      In short, I realized it's a normal skill to listen on headphone and multitask.

    • @nbd712
      @nbd712 7 років тому +7

      Not a replay op, but an engineer. You have no time to edit it. You either have it or you don't. In the video they talk about a producer asking who has the shot and relays that to the director. Once the director calls that they're going to you, you have to cue it up for playback.

Though, at the age of 16 (with no related education), running as a steadicam assistant, tells me that I'm on the highway to a profession respected by A LOT of people. Still, the productions aren't as big here in Norway as e.g. the NFL, but it's really fun working with this type of technology!

    What a fantastic video. The game they were there for was an incredible comeback win for the Patriots, and one of two games that day in Massachusetts. Later that night, 30 miles north in Boston, the Red Sox had their own miraculous comeback against the Tigers. Whats amazing to think about is FOX had to have the same kind of resources at Fenway too. Goes to show how complex sports broadcasting is.
