ESPN’s “Fly Cam” At BCS Championship Game
Exclusive: ESPN’s “Fly Cam” At BCS Championship Game
If any one wondered how the fantastic flying shots that took us from outside the Rose Bowl to inside in one move were done, here’s your answer. Thanks to our friend Chuck Pharis, who was doing video at the game, these are photos of the Fly Cam which is not to be confused with the more common Sky Cam which moves up and down, left to right and back to front. The Fly Cam has 2 towers. One was outside the stadium in a grassy area. The other tower was near the lighting towers on the roof, inside the stadium. The camera runs from inside the stadium to the front of the Rose Bowl. The operator is located at the base of the tower outside the stadium. There will be one Fly Cam at the Winter Olympics on Down Hill Ski events. Thanks for the story and photos Chuck!
The operators were just outside our TV compound where the ESPNU Tail Gate Show was done. The camera is so quiet you never know it is there.
you mean… drones!
