Chris,
This Frontline was shot by Ben McCoy, who is one of the best in the business in my opinion. Lensed primarily with Canon C300 as close-upcamera with Canon 5D MkIII as wide camera stacked side-by-side. Used to do it the other way around, but this provided a better sharpness match. Sometimes shoots with Sony 800 XDCam 422-50 as well.
Workflow is AMA transcode source clips to DNX4:1 for offline. For online the footage is re-ingested at DNX145. Huge number of photographs in this show. Graphics were created by Mark Dugas in After Effects and brought in at DNX220-10 bit.
We have a week to finish each program the week before air. On-line/grade was by Jim Ferguson here at our OutPost facility. Audio goes out to dubbing mixer Jim Sullivan for simultaneous mix with the online. Generall schedule is Monday/Tuesday is for ingest/color-correct mix. Wednesday and Thursday are for screenings and fixes, Friday is final inserts to HDCam master, tech-eval, and ship. Moving to file-based delivery to PBS next month.
This week we were in during the blizzard incorporating a prolog that couldn't be shot until Friday afternoon. Kudos to others on the team, including Chris Fournelle, Eric Gulliver and Megan McGough for cranking out a good-looking/sounding show every week on sometimes very difficult deadlines.
