RBC Brooklyn Half — Finish-Line Livestream & Live Podcast Integration

The Ask

Produce a live stream from the finish line at Maimonides Park in Coney Island for the RBC Brooklyn Half, with a roaming field interviewer capturing runner stories in real time — and integrate that feed live into a podcast recording with NYRR's CEO.

A 5-camera setup (Sony FX3s) run by 3 camera operators and 1 sound engineer, with 3 rotating on-air talent and guests. A wireless transmitter carried the field interviewer's feed back to the control area in real time, where confidence monitors let the podcast hosts see and react to what was happening on the field, live and on air. A field-facing speaker system kept the in-person crowd near the shoot looped into the broadcast.
