Speaking At
TTC 2021 Speaker Type
Presenter, Roundtable
Topic and Description
Presentation Topic: “Mixing Cine Workflows in Live Sports Productions to Tell a More Complete Story”
Description: Sports broadcasting has always been about “telling the story” to the fans and the audience. During a game or an event, we’ve become accustomed to seeing new developments to drive and enhance the story. Whether it was stereo audio, color video, high definition, super slo motion, enhanced graphics, HDR, helicopters, drones and so many other tools and techniques that are now expected from even the most basic production. NFL Films has been a pioneer over many decades of using film cameras to tell deeper stories that went beyond the game and allowed us unique views of individuals, teams, leagues and events like none other, but those weren’t live. The broadcasting of live games has always been mainly video cameras, broadcast lenses and broadcast workflows. Over the last few years, thanks to new and affordable technology, we’ve been exposed to workflows that are mixing broadcast and “film” together to allow multiple storylines to be told, in the best manner for each. During this roundtable, Ron Williams and Mark Chiolis will talk about these new solutions and workflows and how they can benefit the audience and enhance productions..
