USA Bottlers Meeting 2000

The hottest act on the concert circuit today is the same one that walked away with all the Grammy Awards for 1999. Santana! They performed a very special show for GTE during the Internet World Conference in Los Angeles. The famous Hollywood Paladium was the venue for the evening show. It is rare to work with such a hot act in such a small venue and Santana took advantage of the venue and energetic crowd. Everyone was excited to watch Carlos perform in such an intimate atmosphere. Using 4 cameras for coverage the show was projected to screens around the venue as well as an overflow and party tent constructed in the parking lot of the Paladium. The performers contract did not allow recording of the event but once Santana's manager started to watch the video coverage he came to the truck and insisted that we run a tape for Carlos! He called it some of the best video coverage he has ever had of Carlos and the band.

Opening Celebration Show on TNT 2000

World-renowned Cardiologist Dr. Toby Cosgrove serves as chairman of The Cardiology Department at The Cleveland Clinic. Using the European Cardiologists Congress as a forum, Dr. Cosgrove dramatically presented not only the results of his year-long study of minimally invasive open heart surgery to an international audience, but presented it through the performance of two live open heart surgical procedures. An international audience gathered at the Bella Center in Copenhagen where a show originated for worldwide broadcast. Based both in a Cleveland surgical suite and the Bella Center Congress in Copenhagen, a four-hour seminar was produced. Two surgical procedures were performed by Dr. Cosgrove in Cleveland under the watchful eyes of a panel of cardiologists in Copenhagen. Panel doctors not only watched during the procedures but could also question and comment live to Dr. Cosgrove. Between procedures, as well as afterward, a panel discussion dealing with the operations was conducted from Copenhagen and included Dr. Cosgrove live from Cleveland. Two world-wide feeds were produced for broadcast. The first and primary feed originated in Copenhagen and was delivered live to Europe, Eastern Europe, Africa, The Middle East and The Far East. The Western feed originated in Cleveland and was transmitted to North and South America.
