Prepping for Indianapolis
East Rutherford, NJ- In case you haven’t heard, the New York Giants are headed to Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis for a rematch with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Ferro Productions will be shipping out to Indy on Monday for a monumental week of production, therefore the crew will need this entire week to be spent in preparation. 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.
The run-down for Indianapolis has been written down on the crew’s white board in the studio at the Timex Performance Center. This includes a preliminary production schedule for the whole week, starting with the plane
landing up until the end of the final press conference after the confetti has been dropped.
Ferro will be producing ten, yes TEN shows on location next week, along with covering game action and press conferences. This means a LOT of equipment. From cameras to clothes pins, everything must get faxed out to make sure it is working properly before it is packed.
In addition to in depth equipment checks and scheduling decisions, the crew was still responsible for the entire press conference yesterday. The stage, back drop, podium, chairs, risers, audio, and live camera feed for NFL Network… all supplied by the crew. Following the 12:30 PM press conference it was back to prepping until the early hours of night.
Stay tuned for more…
