Street Hockey World Championship

Street hockey is a team sport and an off-ice variation of ice hockey. Ball hockey is very similar to ice hockey, except that the game is played on foot on an unpaved surface. The players wear different equipment, and an orange ball is used instead of a hockey puck. This year, the street hockey world champion was crowned in Valais. Over the course of 9 days, more than 50 games took place at the Lonza Arena in Visp, produced by brutal güet as the host broadcaster.

Concept and Execution

Most games were produced using a 4-camera setup. The manned lead camera and orbiter camera were supplemented by two fixed camera positions behind the goals. In the production truck, in addition to the director’s booth, a replay machine was used that could play back the four camera angles in slow motion. The final matches were additionally filmed with two more shoulder-mounted cameras along the
sidelines. Each game was commentated on by two commentators—one in English and one in the visiting team’s language.
