“All right, so the Producer of this game is a guy named Fred Morrison, and the Director is Brian Lilly. When you get into it. Each Producer and Director has a crew, and the crew is the camera guys and the audio guys.
“So, the Technical Director is a gentleman named Jarrod Ligrani, and Jared has been working with a camera that is called a Sony a7R IV with a Canon lens, all season long.
“They’ve done arrivals, the guys walking through the tunnels, getting off the buses. But Jared had yet to use it on actual game footage.
“This week, Jared gave that camera to his two shooters to use for actual game footage. It’s the first time it’s ever been used,” he added.
Crazy good but not crazy expensive
While the equipment used for covering NFL games is ridiculously expensive, Schrager pointed out that the Sony a7R IV used for the game wouldn’t burn as deep a hole in one’s pocket as expected.

“I’ll tell you this, it’s not a crazy $20,000-30,000 expense that you see from these cameras. It’s actually affordable, relatively speaking, if that’s the result,” Schrager said.
Schrager also said that he has confirmed as to when the equipment will be used again for an NFL game. Thankfully for fans, it’s not that far away.
“Fred Morrison’s crew will be doing the Eagles and Cowboys this weekend, and I can confirm that the camera will be used then,” he said.
