Back in the late 80''s I had this idea. I failed to act on it. These guys acted on it. Did something other than think about it. Lesson to you creative types out there. Have an idea, get off your duff and get it in production. Even if it is in Lego scale and just barely working. Get off your duff and do it. These guys went out and did it and they deserve all the accolades that they have earned.
Thank you to all of you. already working fine. We really appreciate your hard work, in order to give us the best impression possible. Thanks you so much
It's funny how the media sections of stadiums are so easy to recognize. I run streaming production at a D3 school and our booths look the exact same lol
They probably put the cable cam in one corner of the stadium for the parachute landing so the cables are out of the way, and then bring it back into use after he's landed. If this is the case then they would be using their standard ground cams not the cable cam to film the parachute landing.
@@efari They put it on one of the short sides to create the biggest possible opening, and obviously where this is going to be and where the cables will be is thoroughly discussed with the parachute guy.
I just searched & found this video, after seeing the cable camera in Bengals 98 yard fumble recovery in the Wild card game. - My question is: (During the game, during normal operations) and if the quarterback throws a Hail Mary, how does it not hit one of the cables?
Not an expert but here are my guesses: (1) More affected by adverse weather (especially wind), (2) More likely to be dangerous when hit with - for example - a ball if it cannot recover, and (3) worse image quality because you need a wireless video link.
I can actually answer this. Two plans for skydivers. If they’re military and very good (near perfect record), then they park the camera up high at one end of the stadium. Makes a very large V in the cables for the skydiver to come down in. If they’re not as good or just not proven, then the camera goes low way into a corner, one line is disconnected (it’s weight is on the three according to what corner it’s in) and the line is pulled out of the way across the field. Once the skydiver is down, run it back over, attach the cable, attach the safeties, and away you go.
Hate to say it, but you can't even rack the iris on that thing. There are many things that the inspire CANT do regarding the camera and its functions. Additionally, how would you live stream the 4/8k footage? I love DJI and the inspire is a BEAST, but it can't compare to a Freefly ALTA drone or a cablecam in these situations.
Drones only have a battery life of 15-20 mins and would have to be changed rather frequently missing parts of the game. Also it could have a failure of some sort and fall from the sky onto a football player and injure them.
@@wamsam21 You would use a coordinated swarm of them, not a single one. Injury is a risk with drones, but Skycams aren't perfectly safe either, back in 2011 one of them came crashing down and only barely missed some players. That said, the cameras on small drones are still very limited and not really suited for a high quality live TV broadcast. There are drones for bigger cameras, but should would probably be to dangerous.
The issue is more related to lenses than to the camera itself. Lookup broadcast lenses on TH-cam. There is some great videos explaining what's required for broadcast and why.
Bobster986 Many times safer yes. Also , a drone big enough to support the camera and its mount would make too much wind and noise, not have a big enough battery for 3+ hours of flight, and could be fatal if it was blown into the crowd. As well as the additional image quality with wired vs wireless makes it a no brainer.
Matt Troll the cable cam shot isn’t used for three hours straight, so a drone wouldn’t need a battery that lasts 3 hours straight either, though there are hybrid drone solutions There are many drone today, I guess that you’re not aware of, that are compact and so are the cameras that produce a broadcast quality image. If the cable camera was to crash and hit somebody on the ground that would be fatality, to date there are no life threatening injures caused by drones, so it would make more sense using a 25 pound aircraft than a 225 pound cable cam, now that is a no brainer.
Thats a true broadcast camera on the cable cam system which means it could weigh nearly 25 lbs by itself after its been rigged with all its necessary equipment including lenses, power sources etc. If that were to be carried by a drone, it would need to be considerably larger than 25 lbs to carry that camera. With that said, drones are far from an ideal choice here for a number of reasons, namely reliability. The sky cam system isnt going to fall. simple as that. a drone on the other hand has an incredibly higher chance of failing. Not only that but a drone will always be subject to wind changes where a a sky cam can be set in one place and be counted on to stay there regardless the wind. Like Matt said, a drone large enough to account for all this would need to be MASSIVE and the wind wash from it would absolutely be unacceptable ESPECIALLY when its affecting the players right below it.
@@Bobster986 The flycam (cablecam is something similar but different) is hold by four wires that are capable of holding many times the weight they actually hold. Even if one rope fails there are three more ropes holding the camera in the air. Because of physics the camrea would either don't move at all or maximally swing back to the symmetry point accross the stadium. The ropes limit the space the camera can travel, and at a lot of venues this means the camera cannot or just can slightly exceed the play area. The chances of hitting people there (If it would ever fall, but as I mentioned this is very very unlikely) are very low.
I'll give this a 6.5-out of 10. Audio was terrible, no details on how things are actually done, could have used a VO ...... Next time hire me to produce/direct

This technology was already around back then so you didn’t miss anything. Cable cams have been a thing since the 60s
On game day, nobody was there to shoot behind-the-scenes anymore. Sad.
Wow that's fantastic I was hoping more behind the scene like from start to finish but over great video.
i have always wondered ....thnx very informative
Thank you to all of you. already working fine. We really appreciate your hard work, in order to give us the best impression possible. Thanks you so much
I was dancing and watching this video 😄😂 Nice BGM
Nice 📷 vedio
*Fantastic !*
Wow 😍 i like it.

Amazing video
me sirvio de mucho
thanks Virgina Tech Athletics for making this kind of videos
That’s probably the best part to end that video lol!
4 cables across the roof. how does the parachutist land in there??
They probably put the cable cam in one corner of the stadium for the parachute landing so the cables are out of the way, and then bring it back into use after he's landed. If this is the case then they would be using their standard ground cams not the cable cam to film the parachute landing.
@@coulombicdistortion1814 if the cam is in one corner, then there is still 1 cable going fully diagonally across the open roof
@@efari They put it on one of the short sides to create the biggest possible opening, and obviously where this is going to be and where the cables will be is thoroughly discussed with the parachute guy.
They will put it in the center of the opposite end zone of the landing zone.
that was pre planned to seek attention 🙂💩
Good video...
buen video, me gusto, aficionado en eso
4:50 is afro picks the official cable install tool?
and he was a white guy!!!!
Cool!
Nice sound அருமை👌
When are drone sky cameras will be in use
They prepare from September 27, in the morning but the game day is September 30th 8pm!
Ekstrem Camera movement 😂🙏
It's the pack up part ..I really really hate
Which is this BGM ?
how much expensev cam curce and what name is this...?
I still have no answer to my question ! I want to properly understand how the cam move in different axis.
Patience... By releasing and pulling on the four cables. This is all controlled by a computer system to figure out the tension.
@@micahwagoner6114 Thx Mica. I had all answers i needed searching here for proper explanations.

My question is:
(During the game, during normal operations) and if the quarterback throws a Hail Mary, how does it not hit one of the cables?
The cables are very thin so the chance that you will hit a cable is very small
Wait, was that a hair pick I saw??? Lol 😂😲
Pushes the cable down into the crevice
Damn.
Like it 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇮🇩🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Super big Camera that
Why does this looks more like a BTS of some badass heist..?
The sound like Indian beat 🔥🔥
Why the annoying music?
Now I'm understand why every broadcasting company brought lots of semi trucks on the site.
Production equipment
Ok, SKY DRONE????????????
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Can I join your team as a camera man assistant 🙏🙏
is this doseny hit by the ball
Good day

It is not easier, more practical and more economical when using drones.?
I think all in all the skycam is better but I asked me why you don’t take drones with couple of hours of fly time ?
they dont fly very fast
Not an expert but here are my guesses: (1) More affected by adverse weather (especially wind), (2) More likely to be dangerous when hit with - for example - a ball if it cannot recover, and (3) worse image quality because you need a wireless video link.
The end result is a black screen.
Warning....
Be careful doing business with Game Creek Video.... They don't pay their bills...
In Iceland we use drones
it was used in a much earlier time when there were no drones and how would broadcast live from an drone...
@@UtpoiyaMon_TituMousom mate i think they had drones back in 2017. Also don't ask me how they broadcast from a drone, I just know they do.
Drones are risky. People may get injured if the drone malfunctions, also drone's battery don't last long.
@@headhunter895 your mother is homosexual
Drones can fall into the ground and can damage players.
Sir
i thought the title said fbi spycam
Hi
then the game gets cancelled
And then a parachute comes down to the field?
Yeah, that's what I was wondering. How come didn't get tangled in the steel cables?
@@brucetrappleton6984 and how come this video just skip that paart?
@BOB H the only part worth broadcasting!!

Lose the crappy background music and you have a winner.
But everything else is still backasswords, still got first down chains like back since forever, and human error is still a big factor with officials

Is this obsolete now that we have drone. Real drones 🤔 .. what is been use in 2024 ..
I think ill just stick with my drone
Why don't just use a drone (inspire dji) ???

Because for broadcast standards, the inspire its a toy.

I believe the NCAA has a rule that outlaws drones from being flown over the stadiums during games.

jesus. nothing more american than a guy parachuting in with an american flag. he's just missing an automatic rifle
