At the
Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in February 2002, I worked
at the opening and closing ceremonies. Our television
compound was in the parking lot below the west side of the University
of Utah football stadium.
This
180° panoramic view shows that there were broadcasters from many
nations in attendance. As the photographer, I'm facing north;
you don't see the NBC-TV trucks, which were behind me. The
stadium is at the right.
The last
gray trailer on the left, behind the last light pole, is the catering
trailer where we ate lunch. Just to the right of the center of the
picture are the two production trucks supplied by National Mobile
Television. My truck, DX-5, has its tractor still
attached. Further to the right, the next truck, HD-1, produced
a similar telecast to ours except in high definition.
Other
mobile units arrived after this picture was taken, including one for
German television and a little Japanese 3-D van. |
