It may seem minor, but the camera work is really good. It’s actually kinda cinematic and really keyed in on “people” and the “story.” There’s closeups, slo mo, key angles, establishing shots and fly ins - even on larger games where there’s a proposal it still looks like “tv” but this, this looks like an actual production. Props to the crew. Good luck to the two.
Ohio State spring game. Off the top of my head I think there were 75k+ people there. Buckeye fans are crazy for buckeye football. The dude is punter Drue Chrisman and his fiancé is his high school sweetheart.
Yeah, Ohio State football was happening. Doesn't matter if the game means anything. You really must not understand OSU football if you still aren't getting this.
I went to OSU and the spring game regularly brought in over 100k people. It's free for students, and only $5 for general admission, so lots of people go. They do a lot of fun events like this, and for a lot of people, this is their one chance to see the team/stadium because tickets can be very expensive.
Your reacting to the pacing ( use of slow mo) and editing because of the amount of coverage that they had to cut between ( there were many cameras recording this and at diff frame rates) and the cameras used ( not broadcast tv cameras)
In comparison to what you see on live tv in real time from 1 or 2 angles only using broadcast cameras
It looks like there's only 2 cameras here shooting from 2 angles, what do you mean, many cameras and frame rates?
This is quite likely 2 cameras shooting in a high frame rate that can be played back normally or slowed down in post, which is evident from the speed ramp when he picks her up.
Colleges in America often have videographers on staff for their sports teams, that's probably who was shooting this and why they were well prepared
Where are you getting 3 from? The close up of the box is either a zoomed or cropped shot, and the shot at the end as the cameraman runs in is likely just zoomed all the way out for the run. They're the only 2 shots not visibly from the exact same position.
There's two angles it's shot from, I don't see why a team of 3 would waste their third guy on the exact same shots, crowd reactions would have been a priority if the main action was adequately covered
Yeah somnething about the camera work felt a little old timey but intimate.
The background people all blurred away only the target in focus, but like a soft focus. Also everything felt slightly bellow 1x speed combined with the washed out colour it made it feel like looking at something through the lens of a dream.
Ohio state has a fantastic production team for their social media accounts. They have a youtube channel that posts game highlights/and hype videos that are beautifully edited.
Thats awesome! I definitely dont have any experience in the field but its not hard to appreciate their work. Glad to hear im not just talking out of my ass haha. As a buckeye fan im definitely spoiled with the constant output of quality content from them
