Behind the Scenes at "Mecum in the Morning" – Live Production
Have you ever wondered what it takes to bring a live show to life? Bridges Media recently spent 10 intense days in Indianapolis, making sure "Mecum in the Morning" launched. As one of the largest car auctions, Mecum is a spectacle, and capturing more about it for a live audience is no small feat.
The Live Production Challenge
Live production is a different beast altogether. There’s no luxury of retakes or relying on post-production magic to fix mistakes. Every moment counts, and everything must be perfect in real-time. We juggled operating three cameras, managing audio, and integrating pre-recorded video packages, all while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Editing on the Fly
One of the most demanding aspects of this project was the need for immediate turnaround. Videos had to be shot, edited, and ready for broadcast within an hour. Talk about editing on the fly! It pushed the limits of creativity and efficiency.
The stress was palpable, but the rewards were worth it. Seeing "Mecum in the Morning" come together live, knowing the effort and precision behind each second of footage, was incredibly fulfilling. This experience not only showcased our team's technical skills but also highlighted the importance of teamwork and adaptability in high-pressure situations.
