Blackmagic Design today announced that TV sports specialist Obvious C broadcast the 2025 Stepup Stoneham FIS Freeski Slopestyle World Cup, relying on its mobile production unit powered by Blackmagic Design cameras, switchers and more. Despite negative temperatures, snow and wind, the Montreal based video production company delivered a seamless live broadcast and live stream to more than 21 countries.
“The Stoneham Slopestyle event was a FIS (International Ski and Snowboard Federation) competition, and we were the host broadcaster,” noted Obvious C Founder and Technology Producer Alexandre Casabon. “That meant we had to manage several critical aspects of the production, including handling camera coverage for the entire venue, producing the final broadcast with all necessary elements, integrating a host and a sports specialist for the qualification live stream, coordinating with the FIS director, starter, and graphics team, and more. We also had to create a separate custom feed for the judges, so it didn’t impact the creativity of the main program.”
“Since it was an outdoor winter event, there were no preexisting cable paths, we faced unpredictable weather, and we had to tackle last minute setups, long days, and constant changes. On top of that, it was the event’s first ever edition, so there were plenty of unknowns,” he added.
