how do they create the yellow line of the football field that indicates a "first down"?

Answer 1

computer image

Answer 2

The yellow lines are put down electronically by a very sophisticated computer system located in the trucks outside the stadium. It takes as much computer energy and work to do the yellow 1st down line as it does for any task the production company will encounter. Some production companies do NOT have the technical skill or the people to produce the yellow line. You will only see it on a few of the networks. More are coming up with it all the time because viewers insist on having it.

Answer 3

as you notice when you watch the game on tv, they have the guys with the "down markers" on both sides of the field, on the ground next to them are neon orange pads, in the shape of an arrow, then, up in the booth, the line is drawn

Answer 4

It is all computers my friend it is the same as when they draw circles or lines on the screen your looking at a computer screen in reality and they just animate it in there

Answer 5

The TV station uses CGI (computer graphics) to create the line and then they superimpose it over the broadcast so it looks kinda like they "painted" it on there.

Answer 6

digital/computer enhancement

Once when the line disappeared right before us, I asked my husband, "Did you see that! The little invisible men covered up that line right before our eyes!" LOL!
