Story Highlights
Each American professional sports league has dealt and navigated with their fair share of problems in 2020, but where do they go from here? At a live virtual event that SVG hosted on February 24, we dove into a range of critical topics with Kurt Doster, Director of Arena Video Production, Miami Heat; Carl Mandell, Director of Broadcast and Video Production, Philadelphia Union; and Allan Wertheimer, Director of Production Operations, Minnesota Vikings.
How did you adapt to in-venue productions in 2020?
Have operations changed or remained the same in 2021?
How has the pandemic allowed you to sharpen your skills or changed your experience as a production professional?
