Achieving a post-produced look in live television is the ultimate goal, but demands the right combination of technology and engineering expertise, and a lot of experimentation as FOX uncovered during its “Field of Dreams” inspired MLB broadcast last summer. Brad Cheney, VP of Field Operations and Engineering at FOX Sports, helped spearhead the production, which fused live coverage of an MLB game between the Yankees and the White Sox, with pre-produced and live elements inspired by the film. The game was held in a custom-built stadium near the original “Field of Dreams” set in Dyersville, IA, and shot using a unique combination of cameras, with footage prepared in a range of delivery formats for distribution needs. To deliver a cohesive look with a cinematic feel for the production, the team used 60 AJA FS-HDRs for signal conversion, frame synchronization, and color correction in the field.
