OLYMPIC WRAP

CTVS would like to thank the dedicated crews, clients, and co-workers who came together for a wonderfully executed Olympics in Beijing. Sleepless nights and action-packed days made this immense production an experience of a lifetime.

The CTVS personnel crew of over 65 people flew in from all over the world to help produce seamless coverage and provide top-quality production services for more than 15 international television stations, and many corporate clients.

Altogether CTVS produced hundreds of program hours and live broadcasts, ensuring the global community did not miss any Olympic action.

Two of CTVS’ SNG trucks and their OB van were put to the ultimate test in and around Beijing for the coverage. Four TV studios were set up from scratch and CTVS procured five unique live positions that were utilized extensively. In total more than 200 Arri lampheads, 37 cameras, 7 edit suites, and over 1000 tapes were used.

As Olympic events took part in cities outside Beijing, CTVS was also there. CTVS crews were deployed to Qingdao, Tianjin, and Hong Kong to cover the events as they unfolded in the Olympic sister cities.
