With the tightening purses at newspapers - and increased competition, from my part I always look for new ways to provide that little bit of extra to my clients.
For a long time it has meant that there has been some video work included alongside providing the still images.. be it 20 second video clip, post game interviews, 2 minute YouTube clip...
And this all while aiming to provide the still images as the main part of my work..
Few days ago I did a game, and covered it with three still cameras and two video cameras (was supposed to be four still cameras, but left one Pocketwizard cable home :-( )
So wrote a small blog entry about it... but as it would feel too much like 'Visit my Blog' ... so I'll copy/paste the article here. Unfortunately I can't post the video here.. but the still images are OK (so guess there is still the 'click to see the video' element here... sorry)
In short what I provided from the game to clients :
- Usual action images - during game/after game
- Video interview with MVP
- 2 minute highlight clip for website/FB/Twitter/Youtube
- 1 minute highlight clip for Instagram
Basketball is of course played on a smaller court - so it is easier with the video/etc - and football/rugby/cricket would probably be a little more difficult to cover in the same way???
Photos first :
So that's the three different still image angles... and then the Copy/Paste to follow...
These days the work of a photographer can be so much more than just photography.
When I want to deliver more than just the still images for the client...
Little example from last nights Korisliiga game in Finland.
Gear :
Canon 1DX mkII + 70-200mm (still images)
Canon 1DX - 17-40mm (still images - behind backboard)
Canon 1DX - 200mm (still images - over the basket)
Canon XF300 camcorder
GoPro 6
Pocketwizard Plus III triggers
With all five cameras - capturing the same action - to provide more content.
Sometimes you need to live up to the #DoMore
Below you will see the five different views that I captured of Vilpas Vikings player John Jordan floating to the hoop. Naturally the three still cameras all have a sequence of about 12 images of the play, the ones on show are just to give the viewpoints of the different cameras.

In case you want to see the two videos of this same play...
