THE BRIEF
A day out, from the doors to the court.
In 2019, Essex Rebels booked The Camera Guys to cover a match-day event and create a short promotional video for their website and social media accounts. Women's and men's basketball were at the heart of the brief, alongside the experience of coming to a game.
The club wanted families to see what was waiting for them: arrivals and tickets, a children's play area, food, and a mascot making time for younger supporters. Those moments gave the basketball a wider context and made the welcome visible.
THREE HOURS ON LOCATION
Follow the action. Notice the people.
Our videographer had a three-hour booking to capture a lively programme. Coverage began with the pre-match experience, following visitors into the arena and recording the activities around the games.
The mascot's interactions with children and fans were especially useful to the story. Alongside the play area and café, they showed the family-friendly side of the event through real moments. This is a central part of our sports videography: understanding what an organisation wants its audience to feel, then finding the pictures that communicate it.
THE FINISHED FILM
A courtside view of the whole day.
Watch the Essex Rebels match-day promotional film, bringing together women's and men's basketball, supporters and family activities from the 2019 shoot.
ON COURT
Two teams. One match-day atmosphere.
We filmed both the women's and men's basketball, bringing the pace of the games together with reactions from the stands. The resulting short highlight video gave Essex Rebels a promotional asset they could share online.
The coverage was shaped for an engaging summary of the event. Court action, supporters and the surrounding activities all had a place in the finished story.
FROM THE ARCHIVE
A 2019 shoot. An enduring production lesson.
This project was filmed on a Sony A6300 in 2019. It remains an enjoyable example of a compact shoot that tells a broader story: the sport gives the film its energy, while the people make the event recognisable.
