WTF: An Almost Real Sports Show

the “What If’s” of your favorite Sports

WTF: An Almost Real Sport show pushed the boundaries of remote production, by compositing both of our hosts into a Crown Channel themed sports bar. The hosts Ahman Green and Erin Ashley Simon guided viewers through a fantasy league, where they could wager their points to vote on who they think is going to win each week. Winners in the community had a chance to earn prizes and fame on the show.

The hosts would also encourage chat to vote on cultural features, such as top international stadium food, or best mascot. Viewers would comment to be featured on screen, and become part of the discussion.

Ramsay Thoms was our “what if,” captain. He would review the segments involving simulated sports, asking the chat to place votes on how it would play out. Ramsay performed his part on an in studio greenscreen, which was composited into the bar scene with the other two hosts.
