Inside the control room: turning NFL football into primetime television
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- The NFL's most exciting game isn't played on the field. It happens behind the scenes, as hundreds of cast and crew come together to turn a football game into a football broadcast, the show hundred of millions of viewers see every week. When the New England Patriots played the New Orleans Saints, we saw Fox make it happen.

This behind the scenes game is far more interesting than the game going on down on the field.
Which is why im going into the field of broadcasting lol
BullCraftMaxx same
Exactly why I'm getting into sports videography. It'll provide adrenaline to catch all the action, sure there's pressure, but it'll be a great pressure
Whenever I'm invited to a football party, I just listen to the audio mix and watch the graphics to keep myself entertained.
You're the guy who need to join them.
The sound guy mix 5.1 surround without the need of a headphone! insane listening to chaos 8 tracks at the same time and mix with feel!
You wouldn't be able to accurately hear the broadcast through a headphone. Incredible multitasking... WOW!
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.
lol
Not to mention the Producer, the Director, Assoc. Director at the SAME time!
"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.
I'm watching this again 8 years later, and I think it's one of the more well produced behind-the-scenes documentary of a live broadcast team.
So true man
Man... this makes me miss working in live TV so much.
I miss it too. Retired in 2014. And BTW it’s “ready 1, take 2”
@@wecontrolthevideo no its: 1, 1, 1, 1, ready 1, 1 , 1, take 2.
Yo Jon from 7 years ago! I didn't know you did live broadcasting! I wonder how someone can get started doing it...
@@skoptsy4851 go to film school? That's how I got started anyway.
Me too. But it has been so many years ago
This is why I love The Verge. Great content, beautiful camera work, top notch editing and perfect sounds.
Please make this "Behind the scenes" a regular series like Small Empires. People only see the end result and it's fascinating to see all the work and effort put into it.
One of my all-time favorites! Well done!
I can finally show this to my friends who have no idea what I do or what it's like to work in live TV... awesome video
I love watching professional people do their job. You can tell they are very smart and experienced.
Thanks Verge for bringing this to us, really appreciate these in depth specials...
This is my absolute dream job in the future, God please make a way
in Jesus name!
I hope you get the job!
I hope too
start practicing
What school can I go to learn this or do this as a career? Or what classes should I take in high school (I’m a junior)
I´m a sound designer and broadcaster for 25 years in my country.... and i love it..... great job guys
The most heartwarming and inspiring team ends up being the audio and video guys, shouts outtt
I am blown away about all the stuff that goes on behind the scenes producing a live sports event for broadcast. They make it look so seamless. A lot of cool technology going on there. Thanks for sharing this behind the scenes look.
As a massive fan of all things tech, the verge and football I think this was my favorite feature yet! Amazing!
one of the best behind scene videos I've ever seen. lots of great details and just fun!
More of similar ones, pretty please? I love 'behind the scenes' of any kind
I wonder what's going on behind the scenes of the 'behind the scenes', and behind the scenes of the behind the scenes of the behind the scenes, and b....................
Hii hlo haw are you .Mirek Lefou
Drum Corps International has a video on how they do the broadcast and recordings for Finals.
Nice switcher :-)
;)
The verge is the best tech site period. Even if you are not into tech, the verge always has something that will interest you. Amazing production guys, bravo
I just accepted a job for an MLB team getting back into the control room after 5 years behind a desk… the pay isn’t great at the level I’m going in, and the hours aren’t guaranteed, but after sitting behind a desk for 5 years I can say I’d rather scrape by in the control room than scrape by at a desk. I’m excited to go back into that world and it’s going to be worth it, I know it.
Still watching in 2022 still impressive
I am a replay operator, and wow...this clip shows why I love my job!!!
+arsquared As a replay operator, how much time do you have to put together a replay footage? And, how do you edit the footage to get exactly the shot you want and the look you want?
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.
Reminds me of the submarine command centers in "Hunt for Red October"....... awesome vocation!! 🇺🇸🛰
Having been a broadcast engineer for 47 years (now retired), I can tell you the real talent is not on camera.
The talent is on both sides and most non-cunty on-camera staff fully appreciate the technical side of it - some of them even embrace it and learn about it.
Shoutout to the production guys making events happen everywhere! Cool video!
Seriously amazing to think that tens of millions of people are listening to the audio work of ONE GUY for like 3+ hours straight. What other musician can make that claim?
The sound guy is the MVP. Never seen anything quite like it tbh.
I love these 10-15 minute vids, great work!
Love the Pong overlay on the program output at 4:47 - 4:50. Is that an Easter egg that was deliberately put in, or was it just a test pattern that they were using on the day?
It's probably just that MacBook's screensaver
Essentially it’s so you’re feeding a known, moving video rather than a potential frozen frame due to issues
This is awesome! Big part of the reason I like NFL so much, this job is done with cutting edge tech and extremely skilled operators that know how to deliver the best coverage! Thanks Verge!
Very cool. Always wanted to get a behind the scenes look at what goes into an NFL production.
That is crazy. Especially the audio guy. Do you think you could listen to that many things?! Karissa Bird Yes, intense!!!
***** This is amazing!
Yeah I can understand why it can be so stressful for them! At the same time though it looks fun!
Oh my God
I love this
This video is great and shows what I do for a living and how much time and hard work we put in putting together a sport show for viewers to see and at times can be stressful but love every minute of it!
12:10 so right about the rush. I have to compose myself for around 5 minutes, not checking my phone and preparing myself because the rush is a lot. If I'm not ready, everything can get screwed up.
This is amazing. Great work verge.
this is the reason why I watch The Verge is because of it's content. (written/video)I believe in it
I just started working at a local news studio about three weeks ago. Watching this video gave me a very idea of what'd I'd like our staff to strive for. Thanks for posting! I learned much from it.
Riley Koczera what station
I work on Live Sports Graphic operation in Japan.
This contents is so amazing and explains very well what the Sports Live Broadcasting is:)
Wow. Fantastic story you guys... i'm floored by this.
It is amazing to see how this works. If you would like a miniature version you can always help with AV and Sound at church!
Great video! I'm a camera operator and this really shows what goes on behind the scenes!
What school can I go to learn this or do this as a career? Or what classes should I take in high school (I’m a junior)
@@PH7NT0M Look for schools that teach TV broadcasting then start freelancing as a camera op. shooting high school or college sports. Its just like the actual sport, if you are good you will work your way up.
This is the same as our basketball games, smaller yes, but it is the same feeling.
verge you never disapoint, another great short documentry
Outstanding video, the verge!
I like that they give us a look behind the scenes AND ralk about what cameras they use etc. and even the geeky stuff like 4k and slow motion etc :-)
"We enjoy what we do because we like it"
Just on The Verge!
Awesome, awesome job! Great and fascinating work behind the scenes!
Pretty cool to see inside the world of football video production. Thanks The Verge
You guys are freaking artists.
Knowing that on the other end of "my signal", it looks like this, give me the feel that I've chosen right. 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!
You're 21 now, still in the business?!
That was... AMAZING
This is amazing.
Oh my gosh I want a job like this.
I do the most basic stuff possible with camera switching and output stuff at my church, but I love it. This is so cool
Wow, I did not know it was that big, I mean it is a huge production just too show a game
the only intersting thing at NFL :D the technology behind it :P
All TV stations do this
I would love to do this job. I took broadcast media in high school! :)
Excellent video with clear and well thought out camera angles
Can you do a F1 version? I love this!
Oh dang! I want to see a modern one now. This is crazy!
Awesome stuff! Production is so intoxicating
I've worked as a power guy in sports broadcasting for over 10 years. They forgot to talk about the most important guys on that show.. THE POWER GUYS
Obrigado Gaveta
the verge back then was waaayy better, now is reporting what everyone else is
i love everything about this environment
One of my favorite places on earth as seen from the LD position. Love it.
Dang, the mixer is legit.
The Verge never seems to dissapoint. Good job as always!
Man you guys turn out high quality stuff. So good.
you guys are having fun
These are my heroes
Someone needs to make a documentary about this
Every single tech, manager, and director looks absolutely tired/exhausted in this video. It is also eight years old. I wonder how many people in this video are still doing this in 2021.
It's exhausting but so much fun
That was an amazing Video! Wow!
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.
The average human could not comprehend how inspired I am. The verge is amazing
I am an aspiring cinematographer and am trying to learn as much as I can about audio and video at a young age. This is top of the line video for me to learn from! Great video! Keep it up!
The only crew members that were not mentioned in this great video, are the "unsung heroes" of the NFL Broadcast on FOX: The folks in Master Control. Our job is every bit as exciting and fulfilling as the remote crew... and, we are the ones who are responsible for millions of dollars of ad revenue for the Network...
(Self High-five) :-)
It's not called ***$HOW BUSINE$$***** for nothing.
…would love a 2024 remake of this video
I was a Satellite 📡 uplink for many years for many games
Aka Margret from Denver
Unsung heroes of football.
can we get a 2021 version of this please :D
Fantastic video! Keep it up Verge!
Nicely produced. Love to get another one of these with all the specific brands of the gear. I was looking for the Gefen gear.
This is one of the most fascinating things ever
Great Video Guys! Can You do one about the NBA control room?
A great inside look. Love this.
Such a good video! Need more like these
This is what I am ready to become. I've watched it for 30years being done in my living room now I'm READY for my new career.
go for it
This is a beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing.
Such a well produced video.
love this video so much! great job with it!

Homerun, The Verge! er... SLAM DUNK! wait... Great jorb!

The Verge I love your content and videos like this, do more of them !! thanks for some actual good content

How amazing would it be if we had this kind of dedication and showmanship with things like booting up the LHC or launching an ISS mission.
