This is STILL hands down the best channel on KZbin for sports videographers. Peter has been instrumental in my videography skills and to be honest, I would have been lost early on without this channel. Please keep up the great content; it’s awesome!

[@petersarellas]

Thank you so much, I’m glad that I’ve been able to help! I’ll definitely be keeping the content coming so no worries there!

[@DezEditzz]

Lets go been needing a video on this!

[@petersarellas]

🙌

[@con_nesbitt]

Awesome video bortha! I was wondering if you could do a video on your editing workflow when using proxies?? If you've covered this before my bad! Just would love to see your process as its been years since I've worked with proxies haha! Thanks again for all the awesome tips!

[@petersarellas]

Thanks for watching man! Proxies video is here: EDIT FASTER: How to Find Footage FAST + Organization Workflow (Shutter Encoder and Premiere Pro) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmGYqoWOf9ybba8 It can be hard to find everything since there are so many videos, plus my process is always evolving, so I don’t blame you haha

[@hypebykev]

Thanks!

[@petersarellas]

Wow thank you so much Kev!

[@soccer1168]

what lense do you recommend? I have a Canon Rebel T6i and really need help with what lense to get for a media day post, only for pictures.

[@yimanson3165]

I'm a beginner of sport photography and I'm was using the sony 70-200 f4 ii for basketball , however for some reason the dark line appear in the photos . How can I fix that ? should I enable the anti flicker or the var shutter ? (thx

[@KevinBlokland]

Love the video and the tips. One question: what music do you put on your playlist for during the shoot? Maybe you can share a playlist?

[@petersarellas]

It’s usually hip hop but if I’m being honest I usually let one of my coworkers or another crew member pick a playlist because I listen to too much R&B 😂

[@petersarellas]

When in doubt though Rap Caviar or something similar on Spotify is new and generic enough that it generally goes over well

[@MatisMedia]

Love this video! I feel like this will help me get my foot in the door for some Highschools or even small community colleges. Do you do any like this with pictures ? I want to do media day with pictures. I have an amarán 200d but i feel like that will only be good for video bc it isn’t a flash.

[@petersarellas]

I only do video but I’ve been on media day sets where we’re shooting both and a set with constant light is doubling for photo as well. Most use flash though, especially for photo only sets

[@MatisMedia]

@@petersarellas this helps a lot! I want to start taking these types of pictures/videos and wanted to use what I have. Thanks!
