NFL, SNL, BALDWIN, EISEN
We at Ferro have always appreciated the talent and chops Alec Baldwin has as an actor and after listening to last weeks Rich Eisen Podcast: Alec Baldwin and Mike Mayock, may we take a moment for an ATTABOY! slap on the back for BOTH Alec and his brother Daniel who we’ve learned each can talk football with the best of ‘em!!!!!

FINAL CUT FOR INDY
Preparation and execution make a great recipe for success in television. Producing a brilliant idea, Directing a smooth circulating show, and capturing it all on camera… BUT, there is still one very important piece of the puzzle missing. Let us not forget about the designers and editors that are the de facto finishing pieces to the puzzle…
ELI SPEAKS: YOU LISTEN
When Eli Manning speaks, the Giants listen. That led us here at Ferro Productions to think about exactly how we make sure when Eli talks at the podium during press conferences, the whole world is able to listen. TECHNICALLY: The world listens to Eli via Ferro Productions audio configuration. His words travel through the 12” Gooseneck microphones to the Rolls MX54S pre-amp at the podium. The amp then feeds that to our VLZ PRO Mixer, which sends it to our custom made Mult Box. Ultimately, the Mult Box’s 24 Mic outputs send Eli’s voice out to the world in crystal clear fashion…

There has been a detailed strategy laid out by Executive Producer, Joe Scacciaferro, for the crew to abide by during the next two weeks. This will be Joe’s third time working the Super Bowl…
CANDLESTICK MADNESS
Game day was finally upon us yesterday in the Bay Area. It was an early morning for the Ferro crew, who made the bus ride from the hotel to “the stick” hours before kick off. Although they say it never rains in California, the Niners welcomed the Giants and nation’s media with a watery hello.Once the crew arrived on location at the stadium it was time for business.
