Spring training is underway for the Cleveland Indians down in Winterhaven, Florida, and WKYC and STO are there.Most our promotional production team is hanging out with the team and shooting brand new elements you will be seeing through the upcoming season in High Definition - both on WKYC and SportsTime Ohio.
This process starts well before each season. Plenty of hard work goes into the planning stage, the coordination with the team players and the post production that will follow once the footage is shot.
Channel 3 staffers "Mac" Mahafee, Steve Pullen, Greg Golya and several other folks involved are spending tedious hours making sure all the footage looks just right through perfect lighting, the best angles, and capturing the true personality of each player on tape.
As graphic systems become more and more sophisticated, we are able to have our in house production team develop a presentation that will "WOW" you when you see their final work on the air this season.
The whole concept of high definition television gives us a whole new set of tools and ways to shoot & edit video that were only dreams 10 years ago when tape to tape editing was the norm. Now, it's all computer generated.
Indians Director Pat Murray and his crew took their digital camera with them to Spring Training and are posting daily pictures on our new blog called "From the Truck."
