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.
When Ferro travels to Indianapolis on Monday they will not only be bringing a full production team, but a small group of post production specialists as well. The crew has been granted full access to a 20×20 room at the hotel which will be transformed into an edit station for the week. Transporting thousands of dollars worth of computers and software to set up a temporary edit room is nothing new for the guys at Ferro.
“It’s going to be very similar to training camp every year in Albany. Setting three full edit stations and cutting footage all day and night” says Ferro Productions Graphic Designer, Matthew Swensen. Along with editing, Matthew will be building graphics for a few of Ferro’s shows during Super Bowl Week. There will also be two additional Mac Book Pro laptops on location with the crew that will strictly be used for editing on Final Cut Pro.
With ten shows to produce next week, the Ferro Post Production Crew may be facing a few sleepless nights in Indianapolis. But, as Matthew Swensen shares, “This is what we live for.”
