[@Hurricainlopez]

I have two high school daughters who want to play in college. Thanks for the tips. You’re awesome.

[@CiMichel]

Amazing! Thankyou! Hope I’ve shared some knowledge, let me know if they have any questions about it!

[@leeyushfirosh6857]

Hiiii thanks for the advice !! i will make sure to follow these step when i make my recruiting video in a couple years time.

[@CiMichel]

Great! Good luck when you do! And let me know if you have any videos you’d like me to make that could help you now 👍🏻

[@leeyushfirosh6857]

@@CiMichel okay sure thanks

[@leeyushfirosh6857]

i mean im only 15 and i going trials for the england u17 cadet team as an open trialist in autumn so i will have plenty of time to capture footage of me playing before i go to university or even play pro overseas.

[@CiMichel]

Excellent! Glad to hear it! Well any general volleyball skills you need help with? Just let me know, I’m always open to video ideas...

[@leeyushfirosh6857]

@@CiMichel yh okay sureee!!

[@yours_truly_jesus_2827]

Hi thank you for the video can you make a video explaining how to email collages like what are the right words to put on a email and like how many collages do we have to email thank you.

[@CiMichel]

Good question! Are you starting to think about the college recruiting process?

[@yours_truly_jesus_2827]

Ci Michel yes I don’t know If I have to make a video when I am in 11th grade or before going to collage like 12th grade if we do go back to school

Hey thanks so much for the tips!!

[@CiMichel]

You’re welcome girls! How’s your channel going?

[@hannahari523]

Ci Michel our channel is going good!! We haven’t post in a while because sports have started up, but are trying to get back in the groove. Thanks for asking!💕

[@Chiara-wg3ol]

J’ai été prise en coupe de France 🇫🇷 🙂

[@CiMichel]

And...I now have a unicorn subscribed to my channel!...so it’s a win win for both of us...

[@JPFSportsMedia]

Great video, just come over from E’s channel & subbed 🙌🏻🎥

[@CiMichel]

Amazing! Thanks! So I guess you are a sports videographer? Are you a volleyball player too?

[@JPFSportsMedia]

Ci Michel I’m a sports videographer, mostly shooting rugby in UK, so usually out in the cold during winter filming rugby, so not quite as fun being on a beach! Haha. Never shot beach volleyball but looks a lot of fun! Always watch when the olympics come around, really enjoyed the insight with yours and E’s videos!

[@CiMichel]

@@JPFSportsMedia Yea, I gotta say I much prefer a nice controlled temperature indoor gym...or a beach during the summer...rugby is not for the faint of heart! You're brave! I hope the players appreciate you! Well glad you enjoyed the video. Where are you from in the UK?

[@JPFSportsMedia]

Ci Michel I’m from Kent originally, now living in Hampshire, nice and local for most of my work. Are you living over in the US? I’ve visited a few times on rugby tours, loved it!

[@CiMichel]

@@JPFSportsMedia Nice! Yea, in the US for now but planning to come back to Europe soon. I'm in London often visiting family too!

[@HalfFieldAttack]

Hi, I make videos of women football in Manila. W,atching your channel, especially where you point out the must have shot list gives me hope that I can give justice to how hard these ladies train and play, thank you.

[@CiMichel]

Great! Glad to help! I think the list will be a bit different for football but you can adapt for your sport. Have you seen E’s channel (Beyond the Game TV), it will be really helpful for you I’m sure!

[@HalfFieldAttack]

@@CiMichel yes, I watched his collab with a Gaffer on the shoot of a cricket team.

[@jimmazing]

Thanks for the great tips! Somewhat related question: do you have a favorite volleyball hype video? I'm always searching for good reference material.

[@CiMichel]

Oooh I don’t! But the AU top five highlight vids are pretty good!

[@devayani.nambiar]

Hey Michel. You're video was amazing....I'm from India and in high school. And my school doesn't have a team...and a club anywhere in my city!!..so is it okay if I show my skills without any coach, team, or club!?

[@CiMichel]

Yep? Work with whatever you’ve got I guess! If you have the raw talent, coaches can see that!

[@devayani.nambiar]

@@CiMichel OH wow...thank you for your Hope!!

[@vivivolleyball9700]

I have game footage from the sideview and I wanted to include only 2 of the kills I have from that angle. they are both 10ft line kills and I am not sure if I should add them into my highlight video or not.

[@CiMichel]

definitely add them! they sound like something the coaches would love to see

[@WanderlustWonderscape]

I find it ironic that when the "professional" talks about framing, we are looking at him from a ridiculous side angle where the camera is apparently on a table and the framing is terrible. Don't get me started on the lighting.

[@akemiruiz9315]

Hey! I just watched the video and I really needed it because my dream college is UCF and I’m from Puerto Rico and I was wondering I’m in 11th grade right now and I dont play in any league just in the school’s team and not all the years. Basically what I was wondering was can I make a video of me playing alone in the court like only me since I’m not part of a league or team because I don’t have the time and show them my skills buy be playing alone with my coach or do I have to like be in a game to show them my skills?

[@CiMichel]

Hey, definitely any video is better than nothing! You can start with a skills video with your coach and go from there! If you want to play in college, you for sure need to play on a team! You should speak to coaches and top players in PR. My teammate Raymariely Santos Perez might be a good resource for you!

Holy crap did you say a 30 minute intro that seems like forever?
