Inside a Live Broadcast Control Room... INSANE Adrenaline!

[@zebrazone]

Thanks for your support guys! This documentary took ages to put together so I am very grateful for all your comments and feedback, let me know what kind of backstage videos you would like in the future! Regarding AI dubbing, this was actually super time consuming and imperfect because we are in early stage of the tech , but if you are interested you can check out the original French video on the channel Zebra Zone FR . All interviews have been dubbed in AI, and my talking head is not AI, it was always shot twice, once in French & once in English, with 2 different edits in total ( 1 French, 1 English ).

[@RobbertsTravelGuides]

I actually didnt recognise it, i thought why do they have an Australian accent, but shows you how professional you are!

[@jamestwino.uganda]

Bro this is the best have seen so far, Uganda loves y'all

[@jamestwino.uganda]

It was actually a painful journey bro

[@caltho12]

What software did you use for the dubbing?

[@watwomultimedia265]

What an amazing documentary l have seen here so nice.

[@Keksstar]

As an video technican myself I can just say: THANK YOU! This documentary is a very rare masterpiece in documenting all the hard work, that nobody sees in television.

[@havardmilde2371]

The great irony of television is that noone sees it untill you make a mistake.

[@chardonwaite]

💯 agree 👍🏻

[@Keksstar]

@@BustedByBlake there is specialized software for this. Like "Ross Xpression" for example

[@Browney]

This was extremely well put together, from both parties haha! The AI lips are genius

[@apfelbaum4777]

Unexpected to see you here stan

[@daftdevelopment8221]

the hell are you doing here

[@LukeHyland-b9y]

well done considering its fake, but I could tell pretty easily and was put off by it. I've never been a fan of dubbing imo

[@vidventory]

The AI Lips are visible, but it's actually crazy how good this is working. Props to the effort bringing an indepth documentary like this to KZbin. Television Broadcast, watch out, the gap is closing more and more!

[@_virus]

Are you aware of what's up with that? I'm a bit confused what he changed😅

[@vidventory]

The original is French, but it's been dubbed to English and they are furthermore using AI to match the English lip movement.

[@_virus]

@@vidventory thx!

[@MyFedora]

Huh? I didn't even notice it lol

[@PedroHassan]

@@_virus Original audio is probably in French and he used AI + dubs to change it to english, pretty much flawless IMO

[@tek3786]

I'm a broadcast producer and really want to thank you for this incredible documentary! You guys did an awesome job bringing light on the team and our jobs behind the scenes. Cheers!

[@Laiqul]

i think this is the best Behind The Scene i've ever seen , stack with the tech but still entertaining.

[@fahmiplts]

Lah, sampe sini bang ? 😅

[@hbmgpu]

its Netflix quality documentry on youtube fkn amazing everything is perfect and learned a lot about unseen world of live productions

[@Mtlmshr]

In my 63 years I’ve never had anyone explain how a sporting event is broadcast in real time in such a complete way from the technical to the way all the separate individuals work as a team! A very informative and fulfilling piece of video information! WELL DONE!

[@spyder027]

There’s so much going on behind the scenes that no one ever knows about. Any decently sized live production from theatre, church, and concerts and anything that is broadcast has hundreds or thousands of people that worked to make it what it was. Production is a very important job in the entertainment industry that’s very often overlooked

[@baaelectronics]

Being a live production technician myself, it's so amazing to see all the aspects of a massive production together along with each team that services their respective area working in perfect sync. I'm solo for a lot of my events, so I have to think in terms of "what can I automate?" to take out my imperfect human nature, but these crews just add more and more skilled technicians and operators to the production that can think on the fly and accomplish so much. This documentary is fantastic, and I hope more people both inside and outside of tech production can see and appreciate it!

[@TLprod]

Amazing and impressive tech stack, I was not expecting this required level of expertise when it is so easy to watch it online as a viewer 😮

[@zebrazone]

Thank you TLprod !

[@qwertquadrat]

An amazing documentary! For the AI translation in the future, I would love to somehow make it clear when the audio and video I hear and see is original and when it is dubbed, but other than that, the content is of course just awesome.

[@IroAppe]

19:45-22:50 must be one of the most fascinating moments that I have ever seen in a video. So many people working together in a tight space, yet enough to do it all! Everyone masters their unique role so that the insurmountable big, big task of a TV production can be tackled. Such a great piece of equipment and technology, to have a studio like that inside a moving vehicle! Indeed, I have asked myself many times, and it is an incredible moment to see and learn about everything that is going on. I will look forward to more videos about TV production, and as you said, the broadcast truck!

[@VagiPeti]

Dude this video blews your head of from rhe opening shots to the end. 😅😅😅😅 fucking awesome! Very very very well done Thibaud!

[@VagiPeti]

just reached to the end of the video.... This editing is brilliant! Congratulations for the BTS video Thibaud!

[@zebrazone]

@@VagiPeti Thank you so much Péter!

[@VagiPeti]

@@zebrazone your welcome, and well deserved :)

[@JNouveau]

I dont know of any of these streamers participating, but i find it amazing that independent creators can create an event of this magnitude.

[@patrickgenitheim7541]

This documentary is so well put together. Everything is spot on from pacing to quality and it’s ridiculous how fun it is to watch a behind the scenes

[@hullinstruments]

Was rewatching your stuff recently and wondering where you disappeared to!! So excited tp see this

[@cintula82]

right?

[@cncmedia1461]

I was thinking the same and then boom💥 you reinvent yourself with this masterpiece...man, this was epic. Thanks so much for letting us into the world of live sporting events! Fantastique! Mon ami!!!

[@Nachesko]

Incredible piece of documentary about the production, top notch in every sense, all of the content in this channel is produced with passion that transpires from the video and audio quality. As a small technician in a small production studio I can really appreciate all of the work that is being put into this. Congratulations to all the team working at Zebra Zone and the team working to bring the football game to all screens

[@Mu3azOsman]

Bro~ ! this is incridble work! this is one of a kind doc that will go in the history of docs!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 thank you for granting us this chance to see one of a kind experience 🙌🙌

Wow, à la fin, Karim m'a donner des frissons avec son plan de caméra Thank to show this. It's aweasome

[@emmanueladewara]

Broooooo This deserves more views 🔥 Big thanks to you and your team for coming up with this video

[@flyfelix333]

This Video just shot my respect for these kind of productions up into infinity. Think of what is going on when a major event like the Olympics or the Football Championship is going on? Incredible!! And not to forget: the quality of this video is just enormous. Great work!!!

[@jimbim4405]

Thank you guys - you've done me a GREAT service!! I am an Exec Producer of Olympic and FIFA World Cup Ceremonies and my kids - who are still relatively young - really don't understand what I do for a living nor what goes into these productions (I don't bring them along - too distracting! And I'm always overseas anyway). I can now show them!! This has been a first class production. The ONE thing I would add, which you guys probably don't get too involved with as you're primarily tech delivery, is the MASSIVE amount of pre-prod planning that goes into these events. Camera positions, permits, lighting, transmission and sat connections, not to mention the more mundane (but just as important) elements such as the whole crew logistics - transport, housing, feeding etc. All in all - a GREAT piece!! Cheers and well done.. Et merci mille foix.. (Un autre point intéressant est que mes enfants suivent certains de ces KZbinrs, car bien que je sois anglais, je vis en France - j'ai donc des enfants français ! Ils apprécieront VRAIMENT cette pièce !)

[@zebrazone]

Hey ! Thank you so much for your really nice comment :) There are tons of prep that we for sure did not even see ! Actually I would really love to film the backstage of the Olympics in Paris ! Do you know who I could contact ?

[@Henoik]

I've been so lucky as to work in the broadcasting team of The Gathering (one of the world's biggest gaming conventions, in Norway), where we use an OB truck very similar to that shown in this video. The amount of people involved in these productions amaze me all the time.

[@rsgr3963]

Karim the steadycam operator giving all those amazing shots which is not possible in any normal Fifa match

[@Timooooooooooooooo]

An incredible production about an incredible production!

[@simonykli]

As an AV engineer myself, we seldom see documentaries or videos showing the behind the scene aspects of a great production, and receive just as little the appreciation we own to bring a spectacular show. Thanks for making this amazing documentary to show the world a little glimpse of what we do everyday for a living, and hats off to all the techicians, engineers, producers and crews for a great job done

[@abettencourtmusic]

Is there any kind of award for a KZbin documentary? This is just incredible and should be used as reference for any kind of videomaker or professional related to the audiovisual industry. Really well done guys 👏👏👏👏

[@abdimalik-tech]

I don't know how this video does not have Millions of views... Mind blown! Thank you for sharing this incredible experience

[@yasha1928]

As someone who is interested in starting a live streaming company, this was a huge insight. Thank you for the quality of documentary, the energy, the effort, all of it shines through

[@mitsync]

Insane production! I have participated in the broadcasting backstage at a much smaller production than this and I can only begin to imagine the adrenaline and dopamine rush of running something at this scale. I am also super impressed by the dubbing, it worked really well and I love how it preserves more of the speakers' character than traditional VAs. Not only that, near the end with the "one word" question you chose not to translate them, which was absolutely the right choice! Some sentences were translated weirdly, with a couple actually leaving me a bit confused, but this entire video is so fantastic overall that it almost feels wrong to criticise something minor like that.😅 So, hats off to you, can't wait for the next one!

[@faraikativu4959]

I've watched this 3 times already! Excellent production!👏👏👏👏

[@IndoTitus_Pullo]

Come on ! This thing is free on youtube to watch! Hands down this is one of the best documentary I have seen offstage intricacies of any game. Good job.

[@Multyde]

Mettre en lumière les hommes de l’hombre. C’est clean c’est bien monté, c’est prenant. Tu nous régales encore une fois nous les fan de matos making of ! J’me suis dis « merde ils ont tous un anglais impeccable, je suis ridicule à côté de tout ces techniciens » puis j’ai compris que c’était de l’ia..j’ai hâte d’être demain! Bien joué !

[@SCEmissary]

Amazing production value, great insights and just awesome to see all the work behind the scenes. Thanks for just another great video.

[@alexvonanders2727]

I love with how much passion they did that. A German streamer did something similar too but the production company did it completely bad, they thought that's just the internet we don't care. This is just beautiful how perfectly they did it.

[@hifiandrew]

Such an amazing thing that it all comes together. I remember sitting in a production truck as a kid of a sports game that was locally produced. The fast pace and high energy of the director was something to see for live events. The replay room was analog 1 inch video tape on AMPEX reel to reel VTR recorders. I thought it was the coolest thing watching the tech physically grab the reels and turn them for slow motion. Not a jog/shuttle knob. The actual tape take up reels back and forth. Amazing what they did with analog video back in the day.

[@TheLikeys]

I think it’s amazing how you made this deep dive accessible for everyone. Both people afflicted with production and total outsiders. Just the right amount of tech stuff and storytelling. Also amazing to see or rather hear all these French people speaking such good englisch - you really threw me off either way that lol

[@eyes-on-targets2730]

Incredible, thank you for the in depth look showing what’s making such events possible.

[@BradHouser]

My video experience goes back to early 70's Black/White 1" reel-to-reel video recorders in high school at the Episcopal Academy. John Carradine went there too, and I got to direct a two camera shot of him in A Man for All Seasons. He insisted the cameras be half way back in the theater so we couldn't get too close a look at his face. I wonder if that recording still exists? It is amazing to see how far TV has come in the digital age. I remember an OB truck at a college game, and the camera cables were like transatlantic cables, they were so thick. Thank you for your amazing documentaries.

[@dasmeisterlein]

This is amazing! What an Inside! Insane! Thank you for the Documentary! Really enjoyed it! Can´t wait for the upcomming video!

chefs kiss from everybody and everything and especially from the team who constructed this video! From someone who's in college for this, I'm blessed that I saw this video.

[@MrClintM]

This documentary was very well done! I work in both film and television and when trying to share with people what live multi-camera television production is like, they cannot envision it compared to a film set. Yet, this video presents it very well with clarity and respect to television technicians everywhere!

[@loser-nobody]

What astounding layers of education there are to content like this! It's like learning about *learning about* something, and the multiple dimensions taught directly multiply the knowledge gained! I love it when the fourth-wall gets broken but you even take it a step further to show what the wall between us was made of! What an intensely ambitious 30min video! Every time I thought "oh, but we're just going to glance over this aspect huh?...(like the drone and its pilot)" It turns out you were just waiting for the best opportunity to satisfy my curiosity and using your 30 minutes hyper-efficiently! _Bravo!_ I didn't think a documentary would deserve such a thoroughly dramatic soundtrack but the content of the video actually kept pace most of the time, and of course served to recreate the tension of the production day(s). Regarding the translation: At first it was apparent I was listening to a voice-dub of certain voices and sometimes, to compensate for any discrepancies, my brain was interpreting the background soundtrack as a ducked (muffled) original voice-under which tends to occur in real news interviews. After hearing more and more of the interviews, I drifted between the thoughts of being impressed by just how many of these crew members seemed to be fluent in English and the occasional hiccup would startle my suspension of disbelief. Sometimes this was an audio/video artefact and sometimes just an odd translation that could be generally dismissed as a form of broken-English. I finished the entire video without having scrolled down to read anything yet and I was certain I had an idea of which interviews were dubbed and which weren't. _- And that's when I read the comments_ realizing the generated mouth-substitutions were used, _which blew my mind yet again!_ Despite all my initial skepticism and scrutiny, I never actually focused on watching their mouths and subconsciously dismissed visual artifacts as a weird glitch in some automated blurring/DOF tech. The most convincing interviews were with the Live Producer "JP Karnage". I was certain he was native to Australia until hearing him speak French perfectly (to my untrained ears) and that weird final frame/smile where he tries to avoid sounding superior by smugly separating himself from the others, lol.
