How the Halftime Set Was Made | Super Bowl 2022

Want to see how the Halftime set was made? The team behind the set takes you on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show stage.
Video by Pepsi.

[@ItsJesse89]

I wish this video was longer because although the half time show was incredible, this is the type of stuff I like to see and wonder how it was all done and set up.

[@LAQC1992]

I completely agree

[@odittyz8394]

Right that part!!

[@sandragriffey4869]

It's A Video Out Showing The People Setting it Up. The Gentleman and His Crew Said They Usually Have to Shift The Props , but They Live in LA and it made it Easier

[@djprotege]

Love watching time lapses of these things being setup. so crazy how quick it all comes together

[@lindapahi37]

It was so awesome to wstch

[@haydnflegg]

It hurt the set that the sky was still light. I could imagine it would have looked way better had the stadium been darker

[@AG-lg2uf]

I was in the field cast for the show and I can confirm when the sky was completely dark the field looked incredible, after seeing the show in the pitch dark during rehearsals I was underwhelmed by how they looked during the actual show

[@humanity9158]

Woow!!!we really should appreciate the people behind the design and preparation of the stage...and this year's half time was the best...totally looved it.

[@minners19]

Ahhhh, so 50 was on the 50 yard line!

[@robinvolpi]

Right!! ;) 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@WaynePryce]

No, some pudgy 50 look alike was upside down in da club on the 50 yard line

[@PatriciaMartinez-ic8fg]

So proud to have had the opportunity to be part of the Half Time Crew. It is great to get to see this video to get more insight on the process and "behind the scenes". I would love to learn more on the discussions with artists regarding their plans, the song list, and collaboration between them and stage designers to put come up with the final stage design.

[@stargyalshabine1472]

This was so cool to watch. I always wondered how they pulled these things off. Great job

[@geoffjackson3336]

Did an absolute amazing job. It was fantastic. 👏👏👏

[@GatorGirl04]

Out. Freakin. Standing!!!!!!! Everyone involved deserve raises on raises on raises! It was incredible and the expertise was on full display. The creativity is awe-inspiring. Thanks so much for posting!

[@PrinceVoodoo...]

The set was incredible! All the color changes and effects was so cool! Snoop morphing into a dog in the background picture frame was crazy cool! Great job on design and set up.

[@neelyty]

I"m re-watching the half time show and i NEVER saw the morphing until about 2 minutes ago!!!

[@MeneerYasa]

Woow, amazing. I thought the control panel was real 😊. Had the Halftime Show been in the dark, it would have been maybe better.

[@FionaAberTaruona]

I used to be a project manager for one of the best companies that do projects like this in the UK and honestly, it was probably my favourite job in my 10-year career. The craftsmanship of all the different techniques that go into such a project is unmatched! Well done to the team!

[@trilliedon8728]

SUCKS THAT THE HALF TIME WASNT DONE AT NIGHT

[@YoYoSwift]

love these behind the scenes videos, thank you :D

[@antondeluta2346]

wow i love this... i always amazed how the sets are made...

[@gw7911]

Really sad the show wasn’t at night where we could really appreciate the light show.

[@OTAEN7]

Awesome video! This show was incredible

[@richardkkashila7096]

Hats off... Legends. Music just complemented the stage.

[@kwakuemma8382]

Oh gosh! Goose bumps! We only saw the show on youtube I was thinking hard how this was done. ... And you did the setup less than 10 minutes. Oh! great work! It's very informative

[@thinukawijerathne]

Thanks for making my best halftime show😍 Really a masterpiece

[@moniqueneagle7091]

Amazing set up for sure. Congrats to all the team. We sure enjoyed the whole show. 👍 👍 👍

[@HeyMalan]

Love seeing the behind the scenes for these halftime shows would love to see the process of which songs they pick for this kind of performance seeing what could of been

[@arlenacampbell7671]

Outstanding job. Amazing show

[@KauchiSGunasingha]

I was hoping this video would be longer!! wow!!! amazing work you guys!! thank you. Take a bow!!!!!

[@trayshana]

Phenomenal job All Access, Atomic, Es Devlin, Bruce Rogers and others. Thanks for bring Compton to my home screen. Masterpiece.

[@Gabrielgrassmayr]

Damn this video is epic!🔥💪🏻

[@littlesame]

Wow this is incredible to watch, creative juices flowing and mixing!!!!

[@lionspride9763]

This is so cool! You literally answered all of my questions!

[@hillareassports]

They did a phenomenal job! My favorite halftime show by far.

[@onocoffee]

What I want to know is what they did with all of that after? Trash it?

[@mememellow7614]

thank you for giving us what we needed you all did a wonderful job 👍

[@mitchellbliss3828]

Just an unbelievable amount of work and preparation for a 20 minute performance... Crazy.. Probably the most expensive 20 minutes in TV history..

[@clarkclarke]

*AMAZING* ..... All I can say is f-ing freaking amazing.... 👏🏾 This is it's own *movie* *THANK YOU DESIGN TEAM* 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 and everyone who worked to make this happen 💕 *LOVED IT* - *JUST AWESOME*

[@Vonnie777]

You all did an awesome 👌 job! It takes teamwork to make the Dream work. Thank you 😊 💓

[@joyblevins8712]

I was at the game it only took them about 3 minutes to set up the stage

[@CarbyCo21]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. It’s so interesting! How much did this all cost to produce roughly?

[@zakkrick]

Bet it’s priceless because the production, the artist and the crew are making history

[@athulkrishnan2600]

7 million i think cuz dre paid 7 milion from his own bank cuz he always wanted to do this or smthin

[@prateekpandey5210]

Thank you for one of the best halftime shows

[@sarahsemy1616]

Team, you did very well. I am impressed. Kudos.

[@jeaninem6868]

This was awesome to watch, nothing but respect

[@ridesharebiz5317]

Great stuff, but I really didn't get the effect of the floor lights representing Compton at night. I was very disappointed that the cars didn't bounce up and down during the finally.

[@g-dragonsgirl9505]

1. Daylight when they performed 2. The artists had give 14 minutes only. 3. Dre got recovered from Aneurysm 4. Cars symbolize West coast vibe

[@ridesharebiz5317]

@@g-dragonsgirl9505 Its all good. A lot of money goes into a NFL Halftime show. The creative team should of thought about the lighting conditions at Sofi: especially if the SB was played in the daytime. 1) I thought the lighted floor was carpeting with a plaid design look. 2) The cars definitely represented West Coast but making them bounce was a "trademark" to the rap industry and the LA community. 3) You can have anyone sit behind the steering wheel of the cars for them to bounce. A remote control could of worked and nice camera angles for the finally. 4) Why would a jail building be part of the set to represent Compton? I would of settled for another structure representing police brutality. 5) The performers were great, I was hoping Chuck D and Flavor Flav "Public Enemy" would of made a guest appearance.

[@JohanZIX]

I was thinking exactly the same. It must have taken a lot of effort to do all the light work... To then perform on daylight and not see the light effect??? I don't understand it. I am very puzzled with this.

[@UserUser-lh7hs]

@@JohanZIX it was def made in mind with the performance being during nighttime. It sucks that it wasn't but it is weird that it was planned that way, maybe the schedule changed? Idk

[@Baztation]

Real Professional!

[@mbya777]

Thanks for creating this.. and sharing Now the biggest question. How much did this cost!!!!!!

[@ellardbirons6145]

Much love ❤️

[@ronrondrewthat]

Amazing!!! Loved it

[@Gauseltown]

Awesome work. The one question I would have is where did the power and DMX Lines go to the carts? When watching the setup videos I cannot find the line to the carts. I suppose that it went into the first cart and then the others were patched through...right? Did it come from one of the light carts underneath the cloth?

[@easyclapss7552]

i wish they would’ve let dre actually DJ

[@MyrrdinWylltEmrys]

I love behind the scenes.

[@Baztation]

This is insane work!

Thats wat i always wanted to know. How you got that setup on and off the field. Thank You!

[@ericschultz4004]

It would have been so much better if the cars were bouncing to the music. Those hopping cars in the rap videos were so cool.

[@shaksham.22]

Wait, if the sound console was empty, then what was Dr Dre doing on it during Lose Yourself?

[@shaksham.22]

@Lux those guys were actually playing Anderson Park and them guys were actually playing

[@doofer80]

@@shaksham.22 they were playing their instruments but their actions were not driving the music we heard. The NFL is famous for not allowing live music to be a part of the show/broadcast of every Superbowl half time show. The Red Hot Chili Peppers famously performed with short leads dangling unattached from their guitars/bass purpusfuly ruining the illusion in protest to the NFL not allowing them to play the music live. The vocals are the only thing that come through live.

[@shaksham.22]

@@doofer80 thats quite sad tbh It would have sounded fire if it was live. All this time i was believing that they actually played it though i had my own doubt about it too given the elite level of coordination in music transitions

[@sapota4510]

so Dr DRE did pretend as if the music console is a working piece. lol

[@frankramirez4818]

I can't believe that in 1999 I was a Dre, Eminem, and Snoop Fan but my Uncle Glen from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy played the half time show.

[@Niners4Lyphe]

I could have watched this for at least a half hour

[@nuronlinemarketing1318]

you guy's are genius

Yes I was wondering during the performance if that studio console was really hooked up?? I guess not lol!

Would have been good... if it was either night or dark in the stadium lol. Technical oversight from your part

[@TillURide420]

All the hard work goes without notice and under appreciated. My hats off to the men and women that made it all happen for the artists. Without them, the artist is basically useless

[@grantrobey4997]

Just out of curiosity. Did Em, Snoop, Dr. Dre, Mary, Kendrick and 50 thank the crew for the set up?

[@isaaclosh8082]

I wonder if the set designers were also from Compton how the set would have turned out

[@Joskemom]

I believe Dr. Dre would tell the set designers what he wanted the set to look like and they would draft pictures of the buildings for his approval. I live in Compton and just about each 'building' had a significance. From that circular spike structure which is a replica of the sculpture at city hall, to that court house replica, to that club 'Eve After Dark' . The 'Tams #21' sign which is the Tams burger place on the corner of Rosecrans and Central which is where Suge Knight backed out and ran over someones head as he tried to escape gun fire after a "NWA" get together post movie production(something like that). That is the reason he is in prison now.

[@nizamkrul2977]
