Bulls Above The Boards

Recently, Gemstone Media’s University of South Florida crew produced for three screens simultaneously at the Bulls vs. Vanderbilt women’s basketball game: 

  1. Our signature ESPN digital presentation
  2. In-Bowl video for fans at the Yuengling Center
  3. A new, alternate ESPN broadcast called Bulls Above the Boards

Here’s a look behind the scenes of all three.

The main show had a female-led production with most of the cameras operated by women, and both broadcasts showcased all-female talent.  Bulls Above The Boards featured cameras above the backboards (of course!) and a Megalodon camera shot among the enhancements.

“I’m very excited by the quality, creativity and professionalism our broadcast team continues to bring to our many productions for ESPN,” said USF Vice President for Athletics Michael Kelly.  “I’m proud that we continue to challenge ourselves to be a leader in the broadcast space, not only producing nearly 200 broadcasts a year but pushing the envelope on what is possible from a school-led production.”
