What's the most difficult part of filming a football 🏈 game in your opinion?

[@maryskrudland1103]

Avoiding shaky footage for me.

[@stephanerick8927]

Focus

[@andredabaghian5382]

For me, tracking the ball in the air. I had a lot of reps in with basketball but football was different. I started to get the hang of it, but tracking (for me) was difficult either shooting wide, or zoomed in

[@matn6616]

The size of the field. It’s so much easier to get good shots at basketball games.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@maryskrudland1103 yeah tripods are really helpful when filming outdoor sports with a 200mm zoom.

[@WillColavito]

truly a great informational vid. tysm!!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cfwproductions]

man I legit just posted a football hype and now you come out with this 😅😅😅

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

😂 Timing is everything!

[@FootballScoutsTV]

cut aways were good

[@filthyfutbeats]

What a LEGEND. Amazing tips for any sport.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thanks!

[@andredabaghian5382]

E, youre the man! Keep it up!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@mediamarv18]

Thanks for this video! I’m shooting a Big HS game here in Cali tomorrow and I definitely need to get more shots of cutaways

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Glad I could help and good luck tomorrow!

[@hotballsportshighlights]

Which game you got? It’s some huge games around the country today.

[@mediamarv18]

[@mattmoore7212]

Thanks for the great vid, and thanks for pointing out the tip at the end, hopefully it makes some of the hype videos more action packed!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Are you guilty of doing that yourself?

[@mattmoore7212]

@@BeyondTheGame_E try not to, but it rings very true. And I know the feeling of having a lot of great shots before the action really starts. It's hard to leave out!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@mattmoore7212 We've all been there, the struggle is very real! 😂

[@KBDanzy]

Love the tips. I never really tried a hype video before. Although, I use 1 or 2 of the points U mentioned. I'm going to try to be more intentional, atleast one football game this year.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yeah the storytelling tips really apply to any video format. Is that what you were talking about?

[@KBDanzy]

@@BeyondTheGame_E Well kinda...I normally just put the great plays in order of the game, so that the viewer sees how the game went. I put effects, speed ramp, etc...but it's in the order of the game. I also flash the score periodically. If that makes sense.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@KBDanzy yeah I get it. If you're doing a game recap I guess you have to stay chronological otherwise it doesn't make sense.

[@KBDanzy]

@@BeyondTheGame_E yes, that's the word I was looking for, "game recap." LOL!!! But I will try a hype video this season. Wish me luck. 😅😂😂

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

You got this my man 💪🏽

[@twinrickel7647]

Such a nice great content

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thanks 🙏🏽

[@spainishheron]

Nice video Would like to see one about editing in soccer ⚽

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

My filming tips for soccer would be very similar to this actually.

[@Mitchell_880]

Thank you so much, how much do you move around the field during the game(s)?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I just get up and walk (unless I misunderstood your question)

[@oddballmedia]

Great video…. If I film a game, and I know that I dont need slowmotion, would you then film in 30fps?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yes. Unless you want that 60p look which is more vivid and lifelike. In that case you should film, edit and export in 60fps.

[@JCurtisMedia]

Question, you mentioned to shoot fairly wide. Help fill the great area in on this particular part of shooting. When shooting wide it seems like you cannot get as close to a player with detail as you would be able to if you were shooting tighter. Although I understand shooting wide will allow you to be able to track better as well as cover more area, but if you are 30 yards away and shooting on a 70 to 200, then it gets to be a bit difficult to maintain the quality in my opinion. What suggestion would you have or is there something that I missing on that? Thanks

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Ultimately you need to frame for the shot that you want. My advice is to shoot slightly wider than the shot you want so it gives you more room to track the ball. And as you get more comfortable you can zoom back in.

[@JCurtisMedia]

@@BeyondTheGame_E ok that makes sense. Since I have begun doing this I have typically been shooting for a particular person that is on the field as opposed to the entire team so I do a lot of moving around on the field. Is this standard? Or do you pretty much just wait for the shot.? I’ve been doing a big mix of both photos and videos so I usually have the 70 to 200 but if I am on the sidelines and I would like to get a watch shot then they have to be pretty close. I know it’s a balancing act but do you have any advice for it?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@JCurtisMedia Yeah I tend to move around too to get some shot variety. As far as lens choices, like you said it's a balancing act. You can start with a wider lens and finish with a tighter one or change every quarter or stick with a 70-200mm the whole game. It's up to you and what you want to achieve.

[@CandaceWilliamsVideo]

Have you mic’d up football players before ? And how did you do it so it didn’t fall off

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

The same way I did it in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHXLgYprf5t_qJo

[@ryansmith3939]

Hi! I just filmed my first football game, tried to import it into a desktop folder, and my 2019 macbook did not have enough disk space for all of the clips. I am currently importing all of them into a folder on google drive straight from my sd card (film for the coaches). What are your suggestions? Get a pc, buy something I don't know about, etc. Thanks!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Just get an external hard drive. That’s what most people do.

[@ryansmith3939]

@@BeyondTheGame_E do you just keep it plugged in while editing?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yes it’s basically the same as adding storage space to your computer.

[@ryansmith3939]

@@BeyondTheGame_E ok thanks!

[@danielibalio4941]

When did you come to UB?! I would’ve loved to meet you!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

That’s not me. It’s a stock image with a guy that kind of looks like me.

[@danielibalio4941]

@@BeyondTheGame_E Gotcha, that’s where I’m based at currently, a student videographer for University at Buffalo’s football program. Looking to make this a full time career once I finish my last semester there. Your content has helped me a lot as I progressed so I appreciate you and continue to look forward to learning from you more!!! I really enjoyed your video about school and sports videography. I follow Pete as well and I love to see the collaboration between y’all and how it applies to where I’m at currently as I make the transition.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@danielibalio4941 That's great to hear man, looking forward to see where you end up. What's your school major if you don't mind me asking? And yeah, Pete's the best! His storytelling is one of the best on KZbin.

[@danielibalio4941]

@@BeyondTheGame_E I’m an environmental design major at the Univeristy at Buffalo and it doesn’t really connect to what I do passionately. But I’ve gained a lot of experience (3 Seasons) working for our University’s football program as a videographer, my title became “Student video and creative content assistant” over time. If you have some time to spare I can share you my website where I feature a lot of the work I’ve done for the program.

[@kaylakelly3991]

What camera do you use or recommend?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I personally use a Sony FX3 but, for beginners, I typically recommend starting with this camera kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIS4mHaYr7tsgac which I also have and still use as my second camera.

[@IMDABROWN]

I was going to ask a question but a 1:06 you answered my question. I've been doing that but something just felt off with my sharpness.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Could it be the shutter speed?

[@IMDABROWN]

​@@BeyondTheGame_E I am using 180 degree rule or a slight bit higher. It seems like when I shoot 4k 60 and put in a 30 fps timeline the image is softer than when I use a 60fps timeline. but of course I cant slow the footage.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@IMDABROWN That’s a different thing. The lower frames rates like 24, 25, 30fps have a more cinematic look while a higher frame rate like 60fps looks much more vivid and lifelike. It’s not a sharpness issue, it’s just a different style. The same way on TV a sitcom looks very different from a drama series.

[@josiahjones515]

do these apply to filming soccer aswell?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yes, these could apply to many other outdoor sports like soccer and rugby.

[@matn6616]

Im definitely guilty of making that most common mistake at the end. I do it at basketball too.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

We've all been there. It's no big deal but you do need to move on from it I believe.

[@meteoroz]

How about doing some AFL

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Maybe eventually 🤞🏽

[@maverickgolf]

Can you do a complete GOLF tutorial? Scorebug (within Pr and Ae), transitions, footage shots, shot tracer, the whole nine. There’s nothing on how to create a golf specific top right scorebug (hole#, yardage, player name, animation, etc.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Honestly I doubt this will ever happen. I’ve never really done a golf video and I don’t have any contacts in the golf industry in my area. The shot tracer and the scorebug you should find KZbin videos that can help you do that. Even if they are not specific to golf, it’s more about the concept of the animation or the graphic than it is about golf.

[@maverickgolf]

@@BeyondTheGame_E I’ve found the shot tracer but nothing in the scorebug for golf specifically. I enjoy your insight into the different shot angles, slo-mo and speed ups, etc. Was hoping you could give a little help for a golfer trying to start a brand new channel and find a way to stand out. I’ve already learned that people don’t care if you’re good or bad at golf. They just want something to watch that is eye catching. Thank you for your reply, either way. Love the channel!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I wish I could do more for you but I've never filmed golf before other than a couple corporate events that were more about the people playing than the golf itself.

[@tyronefields7628]

If you get this I would like to talk with you about using a drone for filming

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I don’t use drones so I’m not the best person to talk to about that.

[@tyronefields7628]

Thank you sir @@BeyondTheGame_E

[@abeezysportsxentertainment]

Some one told me not to shootwi th my wide lens.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Depends what you’re trying to accomplish but if you want nice close up shots of the action on the field, you’ll need a telephoto or zoom lens.

[@Alpha8713]

Speed ramping is the scourge of most highlight videos today. This effect is way over-used and gets annoying quicklky. Otherwise, good tips.

[@charlesmckenna6164]

Manual focus on a zoom lens. I don’t think I can be that good….

Trust me, you can. It's just practice.
