Sports Illustrated's Digital Workflow

March 17, 2004 | Mark Goldstein | Digital | Comment |

Rob Galbraith has a very interesting article that looks at the day in a life of Sport’s Illustrated magazine, focusing on its digital workflow at the recent US Superbowl.

“But Fine, who is Sports Illustrated’s Director of Photography, has a monstrous job in front of him, and there’s no such thing as too much computer. He’s chewing through SI’s take from Super Bowl XXXVIII, 16,183 digital pictures shot in Houston’s Reliant Stadium by eleven of the magazine’s staff photographers over the course of about six hours. It’s 11:00pm, an hour-and-a-half after the game has ended, and Fine is stashed in SI’s media trailer outside the stadium with six other SI employees. The photographers, their work done, left half an hour before.”
