Brief

Field note

What the production needed.

Build and run the local production infrastructure for a concentrated press and EPK day involving host Peter Serafinowicz, finalists, visiting entertainment and news outlets, and a Netflix-supported podcast.

Pressure

Field note

Where the day could break.

The entire operation had to load in, light, wire, record, manage talent and visiting teams, and wrap within one approximately fifteen-hour day. The location offered limited rigging flexibility, while the schedule required several distinct interview and reality-format setups.

Field Plan

Field note

Turning the plan into a working set.

KFS planned the local crew, camera, audio, grip, lighting, production support, equipment and location workflow. Peter Serafinowicz and the participating talent remained wired throughout the active portions of the day, with Tentacle Sync supporting consistent timecode across the capture system.

Handoff

Field note

What left the production.

The production completed interviews, podcast material, press coverage and reality-format segments in one day. At wrap, eleven cards were transferred to three hard drives: one delivered directly to the Netflix producer and two shipped overnight to Los Angeles.
