Training Camp

Albany, NY

Football is back! The New York Giants began Training Camp on July 26th at SUNY Albany with aspirations for yet another successful NFL season. Ferro Productions also began Training Camp on July 26th at SUNY Albany with aspirations for another successful NFL season. One working towards perfection on the grid-iron and the other working towards perfection in television production, but nevertheless; two business partners striving for continued success.

Training Camp includes a rather demanding schedule for our crew. Each morning we gather for a 9:30 production meeting, which entails a complete run-down and list of assignments for each member of the crew. At the conclusion of the morning meeting everybody hits the ground running and although everyday is subject to minor changes, a typical day at camp goes a little something like this

11 AM: Media Avails- Everyday there is a group of players and coaches that are available to address the media outside of the team cafeteria. Our crew has a Sony EX3 with a Lectrosonics UH400 wireless pack and stick mic on location each and every day to capture these media avails. This footage then gets cut by our Editors and immediately uploaded to Giants.com.

12 PM: Coach and Rookie interviews- With a small ENG crew of Producer, Camera-Op, and Audio Engineer on location at various spots around campus, we capture unique interviews with a different group of Position Coach's and Rookie's each day. These interviews will all be featured on episodes of Giants Access Blue on FOX/My9 during the season.

1 PM: Practice- The team practices from 1-3:30 daily. Ferro has 3 Sony 700 s and 1 JVC ProHD on the field for every practice. Whether it's position drills, team scrimmages, head shots, etc our crew is capturing it all.

3:30 PM: Coach Coughlin Press Conference- NYG Head Coach Tom Coughlin holds his Press Conference everyday immediately after practice. Our crew has a Sony EX3, along with a Lectrosonics UH400 wireless pack and stick mic on location for each and every Press Conference. This footage then gets cut by our Editors and immediately uploaded to Giants.com.

ALL THE WHILE: Our Editors have been working non-stop through out the day, cutting footage (Media Avails, Coach/Rookie Interviews, Practice, Coughlin Presser) on Final Cut Pro to prepare packages for our live Web Show that airs every night at 5:30 PM on Giants.com. In addition to the Editors, our Graphics Designer is building unique elements and graphics for the Web Show.

5:30 PM: Big Blue Kickoff Live- After a long day of capturing and editing footage, it's time to put our product on the shelf. Using 2 Sony 700 s, Ferro's audio configuration, and NewTek TriCaster technology, we are able to produce Big Blue Kickoff Live for Giants.com everyday, live from the University at Albany.
