Crew West spent 4 days with the Arizona Cardinals during their offseason. We were all over their training facility covering everything from OTAs outside in 105 degree heat, to shooting high frame-rate slow-motion promotional shots. We had 2 full mobile studios with green screen setups, one for CBS\'s NFL Today and one for NBC\'s Sunday Night Football. We also had another full mobile studio for CBS with a black screen for their high speed full sensor shots. It was a lot of hard work, both physical and mental, but everyone was happy in the end. And we even found a way to have a little fun
