The Chicago Bears took on the Bucs at the UK’s Wembley Stadium as part of the NFL International Series.  Director of Photography, Jeff “Boomer” Alred, shot on Sony PMW F3L with audio operator, John DeMaio.

The Bears/Bucs game marks the second straight season Chicago has played an international game. The Bears beat the Buffalo Bills 22-19 in Toronto, Canada last season.

This year’s game marked the fifth time the NFL has held the International Series in the United Kingdom. Last year, the 49ers beat the Broncos 24-16 in front of a sellout crowd at Wembley.
