Wednesday 29 July
2.00 pm - 5.00 pm
This exclusive event with CVP and RED brings together sports production professionals to explore how cinematic cameras can be integrated into live sports coverage, delivering a more immersive look while remaining fully compatible with established broadcast workflows and the demands of live production.
What will be covered
Manu Tomás, Head of Mediapro’s Steadicam team, will demonstrate how the team behind La Liga coverage has successfully integrated cinematic cameras into live sports production.
The session will include:
- Creative techniques for cinematic live sports capture
Explore how production teams can get the most from cinematic camera systems, including depth-of-field control, focus racking, balancing bokeh with deep focus, and using cinematic tools to enhance key sporting moments without distracting from the live action.
- Colour workflow and broadcast integration
Understand how cinematic cameras can be matched into a live broadcast chain. The demonstration will cover how RED’s Broadcast R3D enables a dedicated broadcast colour pipeline while retaining RAW flexibility, alongside RCP shading options and multi-matrix control for adjusting specific colour regions independently.
The event will be followed by networking drinks.
Who should attend:
This session is designed for invited professionals working across live sports production, including:
- Live sports production companies and creative teams
Discover how the cinematic look can elevate the most important moments in sport, adding depth, emotion, and visual distinction to live coverage.
- Live sports technical teams
Cinematic cameras are increasingly being used in live sports environments. This session will help you understand how they fit into existing broadcast workflows, so you can be better prepared for future productions.
Why it matters
Sports carries the emotional intensity of great filmmaking: the anticipation before kick-off, the speed and precision of live action, the heartbreak of missed opportunities, and the unfiltered joy of victory. These are the moments that define legends, shape sporting history, and are replayed for years to come.
They deserve to be captured with the same cinematic quality and emotional impact as the stories they create.
This is an exclusive event with limited capacity – if you work in live sports production, whether in a creative or technical role, register your interest today.
