Andrew Hancock’s Methodical Approach to Shooting Super Bowl 50

February 4, 2016 By Andrew Hancock

Andrew's Pre-Game Gear Packing

Andrew’s Pre-Game Gear Assembly

Top-level sports photographer Andrew Hancock was kind enough to talk with me last week about his approach to Super Bowl 50 and how he deals with the logistical side of managing remote cameras, memory cards and data transfer during and after the game. We see plenty of sidelines action and the resulting images from sports shooters; however, we rarely get a peak into the hard work and planning that goes into making those opportunities possible.

Andrew is on assignment for ESPN at Super Bowl 50 this week. Before the game ever gets underway though, he’s worked for several days planning, packing and setting up remote cameras. [Read more…]

Watch Felix Baumgartner’s 24-mile Free Fall from His Body-Mounted GoPro Cameras

On October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner ascended more than 24 miles above Earth’s surface to the edge of space in a stratospheric balloon. Millions across the globe watched as he opened the door of the capsule, stepped off the platform, and broke the speed of sound while free falling safely back to Earth.

His max speed was over 800MPH – while enduring a violent spin as a result of little resistance at such high altitudes. While several other cameras were mounted the balloon capsule, none of them captured the experience quite like the GoPro cameras mounted on his helmet and body.

Look for a shorter version of this video tonight during the Super Bowl.
