The ask
A sports broadcast, built in a week.
MrBeast and Fede Vigevani were playing a full basketball game in front of a live audience, streamed to millions on Fede's channel. The team wanted it to look like a network game — court-side glass, high-wide coverage, instant replay, graphics on the LED — in a private arena that had never hosted a broadcast, with a load-in measured in days.
A full basketball game between MrBeast and Fede Vigevani, streamed live to millions. It had to look like a network game — court-side glass, high wides, instant replay, graphics on the wall — in a private arena that had never hosted a broadcast.
What we built
A broadcast truck without the truck.
Six RED Komodo-X on Canon Cine-Servo glass for the game — two high wides on the long lenses, handheld on Easyrig at the baseline, a slash position for the bench — plus six Canon PTZ heads on the crowd and the hosts, all cut on the 8K Production Flypack under a tent in the parking lot.
An EVS XT-VIA gave the director instant replay off every angle. Cyanview shading kept twelve cameras matched under mixed arena light. A ROE BO2 wall carried the scoreboard, graphics and sponsor loop, and the program left the tent through Boxcast to the stream. Twenty-two people, one week from first call to first whistle.
