Game Creek Video was founded in 1993 with a very simple concept - to provide our customers with top quality television production units, top quality support and coordination, and most importantly, the highest quality engineering. From that concept, Game Creek has grown to become the mobile production company of choice for those customers who rely on a positive approach to getting their productions on the air or onto tape.

Game Creek can provide a wide variety of mobile units to fit our customers needs. From the largest, most technically complex shows to the simple closed-circuit corporate event, our units are positioned to meet every demand.

Our customers include this country's leaders in television production: ABC, CBS, ESPN, FOX, HBO, NBC, Major League Baseball, NBA Entertainment, YES Network, The USA Network, and Winnercomm are some of the companies that have used and continue to use Game Creek Video. Our mobile units and engineers have been providing service for these and other customers at events such as the World Series, Baseball's All Star Game, the Super Bowl, the NBA Finals and the NBA All Star Game, the MLS Cup, the Masters, and the Kentucky Derby.

While Game Creek has covered some of the most important sporting events in the United States, we have also provided mobile facilities for such wide-ranging entertainment and corporate customers as HBO's coverage of the Rolling Stones at Madison Square Garden, CBS's coverage of Celine Dion Live from Las Vegas, The Boston Symphony, Fidelity Investments, and Microsoft.

Our fleet, one of the youngest in the remote television industry, is made up of five High Definition Mobile Unit & B-Unit systems - Freedom, Patriot, Yankee Clipper, Intrepid, and FX HD, a multi-truck production system built primarily for FOX Sports. A sixth HD unit, Eagle HD, is being readied for launch in late August of 2007. Game Creek also offers three standard definition digital production units - Southern Cross & B, Olympic, and Discovery - as well as our analog expando, Red. The seven supporting B-Units function not only as transport for equipment and cable but are also available for tape, graphics, and office space. For a limited time of the year, we also have a mobile studio available.

The FX HD PRODUCTION SYSTEM is Game Creek's newest and boldest system to date. It consists of five easily-integrated production, support, and studio trailers. With its cutting edge technology and innovative routing and integration, this system has proven itself as the most powerful and versatile mobile production facility in the world. Among other high profile events, FX HD was created to provide facilities for NFL's Super Bowl and NASCAR's Daytona 500. Outfitted with seventeen Sony HDC 1500 cameras, ten EVS XT2s, and Calrec Alpha Bluefin and Sigma audio consoles, FX HD was also chosen by ABC/ESPN to cover the NBA Finals.

FREEDOM launched in May of 2005 and has the latest in high definition technology. As does its kindred mobile units - Patriot, Yankee Clipper, and Intrepid - Freedom carries the latest generation high definition cameras, the Sony HDC 1500s. These Sony cameras are the ultimate in picture quality and versatility. Continuing its tradition of leading edge technology, Game Creek was the first mobile vendor in the world to carry the 1500s, which were the first cameras to feature 1080/60p acquisition. Freedom provided facilities for the pre- and post-game coverage of the NBA Finals, as well furnishing ESPN with top-notch facilities for its Thursday Night College Football.

PATRIOT and YANKEE CLIPPER debuted in May and June of 2004, respectively. With a well-accepted layout, routable monitor walls, digital surround sound audio, these virtual twins have set a new level of excellence, power, and flexibility in the design of high definition mobile facilities. Patriot has not only provided facilities for the MLB All Star game, ESPN College Football, and the Bowl Championship Series for Fox, but also continues to prove its versatility on the entertainment scene, covering the Red Carpet shows for E! Entertainment as well as live concerts and remote Conan O'Brien broadcasts. Yankee Clipper, living up to its legendary name, not only affords the YES Network a home for their Emmy Award winning regional broadcasts, but also continues into the MLB post-season, having done the World Series on FOX Sports for the past three years.

Game Creek's INTREPID boasts a 53-foot trailer with a 46-foot expanding section. Intrepid was successfully converted to HD in the summer of 2006. Featuring the Sony HDC 1500, HD Kalypso production switcher and a Calrec Sigma audio console, Intrepid is a large show truck with great flexibility. Intrepid will be providing facilities to ESPN's highly popular "Game Day."

EAGLE is being converted to HD in the summer of 2007. The 53-foot digital expando features large production and tape rooms, Sony HDC 1500 cameras, a Calrec Omega audio console and Pesa routing.

September 2002 marked the launch of SOUTHERN CROSS, the most powerful and flexible standard definition mobile unit ever built. This 53-footer features a 51-foot expanding area which, along with Patriot and Yankee Clipper and the new FX HD A & B Units, is the largest in the industry. Its 192x384 router is also the largest standard definition router in the industry.

Another "first" for Game Creek is the mobile unit DISCOVERY. When this unit was completely rebuilt in 1999, it became the first digital straight-side trailer in the industry. This flexibility allows Discovery to provide digital production quality in a unit that does not require massive space or long set times. Along with Olympic, Discovery is perfectly suited for pre- and post-game shows, news, or sports news shows from a major event.

In keeping with our commitment to providing the latest in technology, our second straight-side digital unit, OLYMPIC, was built and added to the fleet in the summer of 2001. Its 53-foot body features extra large space in production, tape, and audio. This size, teamed with powerful routing and switching provides our clients with an alternative when a large expando is not needed. Along with Discovery, Olympic is perfectly suited for pre- and post-game shows, news, or sports news shows from a major event.

Finally, our analog expando, RED, was purchased in the fall of 2000. Its roomy production area, teamed with its substantial technical power, has made it a reliable favorite.

In 2007-2008, Game Creek Video will be providing mobile facilities for The NBA Finals, The MLB All Star Game, the MLS All Star Game, The World Series, The Bowl Championship Series and the Bowl Championship Game, The NFC Championship Game, The Super Bowl, and The Daytona 500.

Collectively, Game Creek's fleet is one of the youngest in the industry. But the equipment is not what differentiates our companyÖour people make the difference. From our engineers and drivers to our sales and office staff - we all share the common belief that our most important product is our commitment to your production and to your success.
