Rivet Entertainment - The Science of Lance Armstrong

Once again, Rivet Entertainment called on the expertise of countless technicians and production specialists to deliver a first-class High-Definition show. The show was shot on the Panasonic Varicam, the Sony CineAlta HDCAM, with additonal material captured on the Sony HDR-FX1 Digital HDV camera.

The show was mastered at 1080i/59.94, so all materials were brought into our Final Cut Pro bays as offline DV at 29.97 fps. The show was uprezed with our Aja Kona 2 using the uncompressed 10 bit codec. Color correction was handled off-site at Laser Pacific, and then re-digitized in Final Cut Pro to create the multiple international and domestic masters required for delivery.

Our editorial team, headed by Pierson Jacquelin, worked tirelessly to log over 120 hours of footage. The result is a show that we are all proud of creating.

We'd like to give a shout out to our support partners and suppliers for striving to just make it work. The DR Group, Apple, Aja, Laser Pacific, and Digital Garage all deserve our gratitude.
