Creating the Virtual Ads





So, the job in Houston during Saturday nights game was basically to create the "green screen" out of 3/4 inch cabinet grade plywood, paint it hideous green, the install it behind the batter. Then we had to register "camera 4" - the camera that's out in left/centerfield. JB does all the computer work back at the van while I operate the camera to make everything line up. So basically during the game the viewer at home sees these ads that we change every 1/2 inning. Simple really - but it produces about $300,000 of revenue during a regular season game. It produces much more of course during the post season games.

That must have been fun!
