More great stuff and great video. I can not get enough of your videos. I love you advise Olin getting into the sports videography business and about filming local high school teams. That is our business model to focus on the local high school and small colleges. Thanks again to you and your wife for the idea for the channel.
I would love to see a editing video since I don't know how to edit. This channel has helped so much, and having the opportunity to see a editing tutorial from a expert, would be awesome. This is a great channel, I love it.
Hello, I really enjoy watching your videos. Do you recommend using a gimbal to record little league baseball with a Nikon Z6 II and a Tamron 70-200 G2? TIA
#6 is the I was looking for in your "Best camera..." video xD Q: Suggestions on how to keep things in focus with a mirrorless or DSLR as movement happens and through the zoom range? AF vs MF. Hand held vs follow focus. Etc? Thanks btw this is one of the best resources I've found for sports videography. Really appreciate it!
In terms of keeping things in focus, it depends what you’re trying to accomplish. If you have multiple subjects moving around that all need to be in focus, you need to push your aperture up to like an f7+. If you have one subject that you’re following around and want everything else out of focus. The more contrast there is around your subject the easier it will be on your autofocus so maybe push the shutter speed a little. Be careful though because going too high will make the camera movements look jittery. Otherwise, the more space your subject occupies in your frame the easier it is also for your autofocus. I filmed sports in manual focus for years before the technology caught up so it is a valuable option. You will make mistakes no doubt but so does your autofocus so it all evens out. I would suggest using an external monitor with peaking if you can though. Follow focus with sports is not very practical in my opinion simply because your environment changes so quickly that it’s hard to coordinate between two people the framing and focusing. That being said, I never tried it so take this advice for what it’s worth.
@@BeyondTheGame_E Awesome thank you! Ps. Any chance you might have some pointers on camera movement when filming B roll for things like cinematic highlight reels? I'm just delving into film so all the peripherals like tripods, monopods, gimbals, etc, are way over my head/somewhat overwhelming. Haven't seen a tutorial on basic camera movements (and the necessary equipment) with a dslr for sports yet but i'll keep looking! Thanks again!
Personally I tend to have static camera shots and not use movements that much. There’s already so much movement in the frame, there’s no need for the frame itself to move as well. I tend to either film hand held, or on a tripod and try to get wide and close up shots of everything I film.
Great answers to the last two questions. If I may ask for a bit of follow up? Why you leave what it seems a great job with Montreal NHL team to go to Australia? Too much stress and lack of freedom, or you just want a bit more sun? Not sure if 10 - The feedback is still on. I am learning now and I need maybe a six months to an year, before I will be able to produce some good quality to ask for feedback. I hope you will be on to check it :) Already post a couple of stuff in FB group, but I know that they are not so great :)
Hey, thanks for reaching out. I left the Canadiens to go live in Australia because I met an Australian girl who ended up becoming my wife a couple years later. And yeah, feel free to message me if you want some feedback on anything.
When you mentioned begin with a local High School or college team have you ever been hired to get footage and create a hype reel for an individual player oppose to the entire team or do you think it’s better to just shoot the game as is and create a sizzle reel based on the best content? What’s a good ball park figure you would charge. I’ve been making highlight videos of my son’s games but it’s just for social media and now I’m thinking I could be getting a check for doing this lol.
I personally have only worked for teams, leagues and promoters, but plenty of people make money filming and making videos for individuals. I can’t tell you how much to charge because there are too many variables involved but here’s a video where I explain my formula to charge clients th-cam.com/video/O3nR75VF_pM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=78n_m34n1z3KLwrD
how to add a delay when we zoom to catch live action. for Ex. in Cricket, when a ball is bowled, we zoom in (if necessary) to follow the ball. In the pro stream, we see the lag and direct the next zoom how to do it when i am streaming with one camera.
@@BeyondTheGame_E when I zoom in to follow the cricket ball, ( I am use Sony AX700 handycam) Zoom in Transition viewing feels uncomfortable. How to reduce zoom in transition time or a way that skips zoom time so that viewing is more comfortable !
Hi Ed, you mentioned in some tutorial about using Autofocus... I've been recommended and read about using only manual focus when filming football (not soccer). What's your opinion?
I filmed manual only for years. Not by choice but because my camera didn’t allow autofocus to work when filming slowmo. So it can be done, it’s just one more thing you have to worry about while filming. But at the end of the day, it really depends on the quality of the autofocus on your camera. If it’s too slow, it’s best to stay with manual because auto will always be adjusting and rarely keep focus on a moving subject for a long period of time. But if you have a fast autofocus that can keep a moving subject in focus quite easily than why wouldn’t you use it?
@@BeyondTheGame_E Thnx Ed. I'm currently comparing the footage of 2 different bodies: Canon EOS (I think it's 1st gen model) 6D w/ Sigma 2,8/70-200 (w/ 2x converter) AND 1st gen Sony Alpha 77 with Sigma 5.6/18-250. So far the Canon has proven to be much faster AF - however this when shooting stills. The 70-200 Sigma "draws" excellent images. But I'm still on learning curve and training hard editing with DaVinci
My friend and I just got student deals for adobe and macs and we want to make hype reels and “bored films” kind of videos but we don’t get our own footage. How do you get the footage from on the court like cutaways and videos of the players on the court? We want to make basketball and football videos and we see the other mixes on TH-cam have those clips all the time. Also, what the best way to collaborate using premiere pro? Thanks in advance!
Most of the mixtapes are just game footage downloaded from TH-cam or recorded through a third party app. The close up shots are mainly from the replays after a great play and the highlight reels at the end of each quarter.
Also with Premiere Pro you can create a team project which allows more then one person to work in it simultaneously. But I wouldn’t recommend it for what you’re doing. Just work on individual videos separately and compare after, that’s what I’d do.
The videos are all quite similar though, it would be good for your channel if you did different types of videos about Ronaldo. Perhaps motivational or training videos..?
12:28 you heard it if you want to be a sport videographer you don't have to study a lot so don't push your self too hard in shcool or college 😂🤣 Just kidding don't get the wrong idea I'm pretty sure you need to get good grades just to enter college so you can do this carrer
Since this was filmed 2 years ago you may not see this. But if you do here is my question. In 2 years phone camera technology has advanced. I only film my sons sports teams using my phone from the stands. I am now using a Galaxy S22 Ultra. Would you be able to look at the specs on it and tell me if I can make quality videos with it? As much as these phones are I'd like to use it as much as I can before i run out and spend a ton of money on a camera. I don't make money on my videos, and probably won't anytime soon, if ever. Thanks for any feedback.
It’s not necessarily about the specs. There’s no optical zoom on a phone so, filming from the stands you’ll either get a super wide shot all the time or a very grainy close up. But like you said, it’s just for fun so if you enjoy the results there’s nothing wrong with that. But to answer the question directly, no, your videos won’t be as high quality as they would be if you were filming with a mirrorless camera and a long lens.
@@BeyondTheGame_E gotcha! Thanks for the reply. I'll probably invest in a camera eventually, but for now I'll keep on keeping on. You do great work by the way. I wish I only had 1/4 of your talent.
If you plan on using someone else’s footage you need their permission. If you just use a couple seconds here and there you’ll probably be fine but if you make an entire video out of someone else’s footage, you will get in trouble eventually.
I did this exact thing when it comes to making money creating sports videos. I attend a local university that I already had many connections with. Through these connections I was able to basically "tryout" by creating some videos for my schools football program and they loved it, especially because no one had put in much effort into making the content that I do. Through this I was able to work my way up to becoming an official student assistant and be in charge of just about all social media content creation for our team, I have been doing it for just about a year now. My dream is to use my experience and education I have gained and continue to gain at my school to become a creative media director a big name university not too far from me. If anyone would like to specifically know the schools I have mentioned please feel free to ask. If anyone would like any advice on how to get started in the industry please feel free to ask as well.
@@cfwproductions So I began basically with what I had. I began with a Sony a6000 I had received as a gift about a year earlier, it's still the camera I use now. With the kit lens it was about $600, but now I have the 18-135mm that I use as my standard. Time wise, I basically treat my videography work as the equivalent of a sport so it's basically like my extracurricular activity while in school.
@@ballenmedia Nice. I have a $300 Canon Camcorder and a Nikon d3400 with the two kit lens. I got a gig to shoot soccer for the school on Sundays. I am just debating which to use.
@@cfwproductions It really depends on what you want to shoot and which one you're more comfortable with. For example, if you're just shooting video, your camcorder would be fine if you more comfortable with it, plus with the camcorder you will always be in focus. However, if you also would like to shoot photos (because I do as well) and get a more high quality look, I would recommend the d3400. But ultimately it's what you're more comfortable with.
