Production was in full swing on Tuesday for the Ferro crew here in Indianapolis. After the guys worked into the late hours of Monday night building their set at the stadium (control center, audio configuration, lighting, stage settings, and cameras) it was time for a brief slumber back at the hotel, followed by an early wake up call.
Subsequently the crew made their way back over to the site of Super Bowl XLVI to begin a long day of taping. The first shoot featured former Giants Linebacker Carl Banks and four current rookie linebackers. Having five people on set is something that the Ferro crew does do too often, especially on a three camera shoot. But never the less, the two Sony PDW 700 s on sticks (tripods) and one Sony PDW 700 on a 13 foot CamMate Jib proved to be the perfect ingredients for an unblemished production.
At this point in the morning Media Day was occuring on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium. Simultaneous to the crew's shows being taped on set, there was also a Ferro ENG crew on the field equipped with a Sony EX3, audio mixer, and boom pole. Most of the footage captured by the on-field crew was one on one player interviews, and media avails (media surrounds one player and interrogates him until they have received enough info for their stories/shows). Content from these shoots will air on a few of Ferro Productions television broadcasts this week, as well as on the web at Giants.com.

Meanwhile back at the set
Bob Papa had his weekly sit down with Giants Head Coach Tom Coughlin to talk about the match up with New England. The discussion can be seen on a special Super Bowl edition of Opening Drive Live this Sunday on MSG.
Following Coach Coughlin's exit from the set was the taping of Papa's Perspective. In this two minute weekly segment Bob Papa shares his opinions of the upcoming game, and what he thinks are the keys to a Giant victory. Papa's Perspective can be viewed on Giants Access Blue, and also on Verizon FIOS VOD (video on demand).
AT THIS POINT IN TIME the crew is about half way done with taping for the day. Next on the list was the MSG show Giants Online. During the show Bob Papa sits down with NYG VP of Communications, Pat Hanlon, as well as two New York reporters to discuss Giants football. For this weeks episode, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News and Paul Schwartz of the New York Post joined the set at Lucas Oil Stadium. During the season this show gets captured by four cameras: three studio pedestal cameras and one Jib camera. This week required an extra effort from Ferro's Technical Director and Camera Operators because there were only three cameras on set. No worries though as the show reached it's closing Jib bump, it was another one in the books.

Now it was time for a well deserved lunch break. The crew took a short stroll to the team hotel and relaxed for an hour as they enjoyed their sandwiches. After a quick trip to Starbucks it was back to the Stadium for the final shoot of day 2. It was a live to tape show that featured hosts Paul Dottino and Anita Marks. The show, titled Giants Road to the Super Bowl, provides an in-depth run down of the days events in Indianapolis and features press conference footage and player interviews captured by Ferro crew members. You can watch MSG each and every night this week at 10:30 to check it out.
That's all for tonight folks. Stay tuned until tomorrow for much more and follow us on Twitter @FerroProduction for tons of behind the scenes photos this week!
