Live
When the main broadcast feed failed 30 seconds before the championship-winning goal, our operator's quick thinking saved the entire production.
The Challenge
During the FA Cup Final, with 89 minutes on the clock and the score tied 2-2, the primary broadcast camera experienced a catastrophic failure. Over 8 million viewers were watching live.
The Solution
Our lead operator, positioned on the secondary rig, instantly recognised the feed drop. Without hesitation, he switched to manual tracking mode, anticipated the play development, and captured the winning goal in a single, fluid motion that became the iconic shot of the season.
The Impact
The footage not only saved the broadcast but won the BAFTA for Best Live Coverage. The seamless transition meant viewers never knew anything had gone wrong. This is the level of expertise and composure we bring to every production.
"In live television, there are no second takes. This is where true mastery reveals itself."
— Marcus Thornfield, Lead Camera Operator
