Enjoy outdoor movie season in Indianapolis
Whether it's date night, something for the kiddos or a cool way to enjoy a classic, make the most of what's left of outdoor cinema season. Why it matters: If they haven't already, most schools are preparing to welcome students back soon, which means summer nights are in short supply. Plus: The heat is finally breaking this week, meaning a couple of hours outdoors might actually be enjoyable. State of play: Tibbs is Indianapolis' only drive-in movie theater, a westside tradition since 1967. Tibbs shows movies Thursday through Monday nights all summer long. With four screens, each showing a double-header, it's a great way to catch summer blockbusters for a great price. Tickets are $13 for movie-goers 13 and up and just $6 for kids 12 and under. Plus: You can bring your own snacks without having to sneak them in your purse, and pets are welcome. Yes, but: Tibbs' isn't the only place to watch movies outdoors. Several other venues have gotten in on the fun and set up the occasional outdoor feature. For families: White River State Park is hosting an outdoor movie night Friday, showing Disney/Pixar's "Cars." Gates open at 8pm, and the movie starts at dusk. Lawn chairs and blankets are welcome. Tickets are $5 each or $20 for a family pass. Snacks will be available for purchase. No outside food or beverages. For movie buffs: Newfields' summer nights film series shows a mix of new, old, animated and classic movies. On Aug. 15, catch the 1968 "Planet of the Apes" starring Charlton Heston.

SNY's production team is bringing cinematography to the forefront of Mets games — mimicking scenes from these classic movies
Mets fans are paying plenty of attention to the man-power behind the curtain. Although the Amazins' on-field play is anything but classic lately, the SNY production team is going viral for its jaw-dropping in-game cinematography that mimics scenes from iconic films like 'The Wizard of Oz' and 'Planet of the Apes.' The cinematic sorcerers of Citi Field, the SportsNet New York crew is enjoying a moment of extra virality in its 20th season as fans soak in the movie magic peppered throughout the telecast — a trend the team is dubbing #baseballiscinema. Advertisement 7 The SNY magic happens inside a production truck parked outside Citi Field. Michael Nagle 'You want the show to be the main event, and I'm told that some of the devices that we have implemented sort of make baseball the primetime main event,' John DeMarsico, SNY's broadcast director, told The Post. 'It'll give people a reason to tune in other than just the X's and O's that they're going to get with our great broadcast as it is.' Advertisement SNY has long been considered the best sports broadcasting network in the game, but viewers have recently caught on to some extra flair thrown in between plays, including many moments that eagle-eyed fans have noticed are nods to silver screen classics such as 'Kill Bill.' This season alone, SNY referenced the moment Dorothy walked into the colorful world of Oz by transitioning relief pitcher Edwin Díaz out of black and white as he stormed the field from the bullpen. The team also pointed to the shocking ending of the original 'Planet of the Apes' by filming the field from behind a fan's foam Statue of Liberty headband. SNY innovators developed a three-player split screen that mimicked the climax moment of the 2024 'Challengers' blockbuster. The genius comes directly from DeMarsico, a self-described 'film buff' and baseball nerd. Advertisement 7 Inspired by films, DeMarsico has been mimicking iconic movie shots during the Mets baseball streams. Michael Nagle 'It's me consuming way too much film,' he said. 'I'm not a passive viewer — when I see something on the big screen or watching at home, I literally take out my phone, take a note, take a screenshot and put it in my back pocket for something that may come up later.' DeMarsico added that he has notebooks stacked with future ideas. Technical Director Seth Zwiebel creates the effect and plugs it into his massive control center and is at the ready to deploy it at the perfect moment — which sometimes means keeping the bullet in the chamber for months. Advertisement The Post was invited to Queens Thursday to witness the magic unfold inside an unassuming, slender production truck stationed behind Citi Field, which is outfitted with dozens of tiny TV screens streaming the action on the diamond. Inside, a team of eight, led by DeMarsico and Senior Coordinating Producer Gregg Picker, fervently make calls as fast-paced as the game they are blasting out to millions of viewers. 7 Producer Gregg Picker, right, described the SNY action as intense as the gameplay on the field. Michael Nagle Picker serves as the 'coach' and DeMarsico the 'quarterback,' the veteran producer explained. Picker cultivates the overall vision for the program — a job that includes queuing up player packages for broadcasters Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen to chat about in the booth — while DeMarsico executes which shots are aired and when. 7 The effects are created and plugged into a massive switchboard, executed by Technical Director Seth Zwiebel under DeMarsico's orders. Michael Nagle 7 DeMarsico tosses a baseball in the air during the game. Michael Nagle The team speaks their own language in the production truck, and the members can cut through the constant chatter coming through their headphones to smoothly translate otherwise nonsensical orders like 'ready 4, take 4,' or 'dissolve gold' into the television show streamed live. Advertisement It's a collaborative effort, referencing former Mets' pitcher Ron Darling's famous phrase: 'It takes a village.' 'The exact same connectivity that you see with teams that have played together for years and years, whether it's baseball or football or whatever it is, we're the same as a team on the field,' Picker said. 'And I'm proud of that.' Advertisement The team described the energy in the truck as 'kinetic' and one that encourages creative risks — something that has bled over to the camera crew. While it typically takes weeks for DeMarsico's film reference ideas to be utilized, ones taken by the videographers in the heat of the game are pounced on — and have gone viral in their own right. At Thursday's game, SNY cut to one incredible shot of the field being portrayed through a fan's eyeglasses as he unwittingly watched on — an angle DeMarsico saw come through on the feed and broadcasted during a brief lull in the game. 7 The SNY team includes associated producer Tommy Rochlin, left, senior producer Gregg Picker, Zwiebel, DeMarsico and associated director Eddie Wahrman. Michael Nagle Advertisement The point is to take advantage of unique opportunities — like when a cameraman noticed a pink heart-shaped balloon romantically floating across the waxing moon during golden hour, or days later when the team perfectly overlayed a shot of the full moon onto a baseball lying on the field. 'How can you not be romantic about baseball?' DeMarsico wrote in a tweet that garnered the attention of film director Edgar Wright and even film-based social media app Letterboxd. The goal for every telecast is to offer fresh ideas that stimulate the diverse array of viewers and, more importantly, get people into the game. 'You never want to force things down people's throat. … But sometimes we do some things just to sort of jar people out of their seats once in a while,' said DeMarsico. Advertisement 7 The camera crew are also emboldened to capture unique shots in the heat of the game. Michael Nagle The production gang is always searching for something unique in its pregame, whether it's the cinematic camera angles, running a 50-year-old clip of Bath Ruth, or a surprise interview with ex-Met Jose Reyes. 'Baseball is a sport that affords us … the opportunity to try stuff and to hold the viewers for as long as possible, because that's ultimately our goal,' added Picker. And most importantly — keeping on par with the Mets well-loved history of whimsey — the SNY team is always looking to have fun. 'The most important thing that we all try to do is do one extraordinary thing every broadcast,' Picker continued, 'find time to laugh every broadcast and have some fun and constantly push one another past our comfort zones.'
