Lights, camera, action! Without that first one – good luck. Grab a seat with Joe & lighting guru George Greczylo for an illuminating convo on working gigs for YES Network, the Super Bowl, & much more.
Key Takeaways:
- George Greczylo has extensive experience in studio lighting and production, notably for YES Network’s Yankees pre-game and post-game programming.
- The YES Network studio has gone through multiple set rebuilds/installs to keep pace with changing show needs and the industry shift from SD to HD.
- His on-location lighting work spans many different environments (outdoors, museums, and even unconventional spaces like a parking garage for Super Bowl-related production), each requiring tailored solutions.
- A major theme is adaptability: dealing with tough conditions like harsh sunlight, bad weather, and space constraints through careful planning and problem-solving.
- COVID-era remote production forced new workflows in 2020, including creative live post-game setups at the stadium and shooting “legacy” content in alternate locations, which he helped execute successfully.
- Beyond sports, George also lights puppetry/creative projects with Bill Diamond Studios (e.g., Monster TV Network and Talking with the Dead), showing versatility across genres and styles.
