I don't know how this escaped me when shooting this video but you should be shooting EVERY pitch. After something big happens, for example a homerun, stop recording, and then put your hand over your lens and record a small clip w the black screen, this is known as "slating" and when youre looking thru clips postgame itll be easier to find the clips you want!

Thanks a ton! I was struggling with baseball filming, but this helped a lot!

Hey man, Thanks for posting content like this. I have experience shooting football, basketball, soccer and other sports with way more action. I was wondering how to shoot baseball in a cool way even though the sport has a lot of dead space and standing but your video helped me out a lot. This content is 🔥

Awesome video!! Thanks for the great tips! I’m shooting my first baseball game tomorrow and I’m stoked! I feel a lot more prepared after watching this video!

Such a solid video! I’m shooting my first college game this week and spending some time at practice. I played college baseball so I know the game but was still a little nervous. This video gave me a ton of confidence and SOLID notes to follow. Thanks man you’re killing it!

These tips are all 🔥 thoroughly enjoyed the whole video and now I’m really looking forward to the day I get to shoot some baseball

Hi Pete, I'm so glad I found your channel! I will be the creative intern for the Indians this season and most of my background is in photography so I'm brushing up on my video tips before opening day, this has been the most helpful tutorial I've seen so far!

dude great video! i have a couple questions! 1) what should i use to stabilize and track players? a monopod w a fluid head or maybe a tripod? and 2) When shooting a long game, is it best to shoot every play regardless of what happens and go back to delete the stuff that didnt work out? or is there another method that works best. Thanks bro!!

@pete_chalk

3 жыл бұрын

thanks alex! 1) monopods always work best, bc youll need that easy movement in each direction-sometimes tripods can be cumbersome for that 2)so basically you should be shooting every pitch, after something big happens, IE a homerun, stop recording, and then put your hand over your lens and record a small clip w the black screen, this is known as "slating" and when youre looking thru clips postgame itll be easier to find the clips you want
