Great video. It was also nice to see Tori Dilfer Stringer (#12) before she was traded to the Columbus Fury. She is one of the premier setters in volleyball today and I had the pleasure of photographing her several times when she was in Louisville.
Thanks Mike!
This is amazing content. Glad you decided to give us a deeper look inside the process. I'm in a place where nothing of the sort is ever done so I'm working on a pitch deck to present media days as a solution to generate more community involvement to sports and support for players from high school to national level. We even lack the branding and marketing resource to make proper use of the digital assets once they are created so even that will need to be a part of my solution. Getting tips and insight into the process is most welcomed. Thanks so much James.
Really cool to hear. Those are things I wouldn't have ever thought about!
Awesome content and super clear instruction, great BTS. Love this.
Thanks so much!
Awesome as usual!
James, your BTS videos are great. The thought process and use of different equipment is is a great view into the entire process. As an Atlanta resident, I feel sorry for you driving in our traffic.
Thanks Steve, I got lucky with the traffic that day!!
Always great content. Thank you. 🙏
Thanks, James. Definitely useful content.
Thank you again for a great video 👍❤️✌️
Awesome
Love it! Thanks for helping us by showing your experience.
This stuff is awesome, and it was awesome to meet you.
These are some of my favorite types of videos and I appreciate you so much!
i always love your BTS videos! I Personally learn from you in action and seeing the BTS than other methods
Thanks!
Thank you sir for sharing some of the great work that you do, this was very helpful
Thank you so much for showing us behind the scenes of your shoots! I always learn something new from your videos!
Have you looked into buying a cargo van for your business? You would have a lot more space not having to deal with the back seat, making loading & unloading more efficient.
These videos are great, keep them coming.
Thanks Michael!
A quick thank you for this and all your other videos! So informative and packed with great information from start to finish. Even though some of the lessons and material is not applicable for me at this time....I know when it is, I'll be well informed and well prepared. Thanks for sharing your techniques, tactics, and procedures!!! Looking forward to more in the future!
Thanks John!
Great video my friend! Very useful to "come along" on one of your shoots.
Thanks Shell!
This was a fantastic video. Thank you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
True Master, James! Love your work.
Thank you!
Awesome Video, thanks for sharing! The BTS aspect is great, including the packing, checking in and even pre scout are important parts of the shoot and it's awesome to see it-
James, thank you so much for sharing this video and all of your BTS videos. They are always so informative and you are such an excellent teacher! ...Thank you!
Really great video! Much appreciated thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks Tim!
I Love this so much !!! this is so great! I am so happy i found this!
Thanks Stacey!
This is awesome. Even your voice is radio ready.
🎙️🤣
You are the best! I love your content.
Thanks Patrick!
Your content is so helpful...can't thank you enough for sharing your brilliance.
Thank you!
Dope video as always! Most inspiring sports channel out there
Wow, thanks Martin!
Thank you for sharing your experiences, behind the scenes etc. - huge inspiration but also a learning about how much work, equipment etc. it takes to carry out such a job - super good result
Always great seeing your content man!
Thanks Eli! Todo El Pedo!!
Thank you from southwestern France
Thanks Louis! That's pretty cool!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing! Bet you're very careful where you park that fully loaded Bronco.
I try to be!
Ha! Your mood board has some of the same images as mine! Love it! Did a VBall shoot this morning and Friday. Hopefully that means I'm moving in the right direction. Thanks for all of your videos to help get me to where I am and so much further to go! These BTS videos are especially helpful!
Thanks Ryan!
Always great to watch you work! Would love to have a copy of your checklist.
I'll look at seeing if I can provide something in the future! Thanks!
You always present excellent videos with detailed explanations and images. I loved the 'V' shape lights especially since diagonals add dynamics to photos. And of course the 'V' has meaning for this team. Great job as always!
Many thanks!
Thanks you for all the information and have done similar shoots with the light mods I have (2( 3x4s (2) 1x4s (1) for my beauty dish, I love your creativity, your so imsparing
Very cool!
Great video, I really enjoy seeing the BTS. Also, the idea about making the lights into a V was something I thought once before but I went a different direction by cutting the logo out of some black core foam and lighting it. I will DM you an example.
You and I went to the same Art Class! :)
Stick figure 101! 🤣
Is Vibe a High School, club program or a collegiate one? Those players look BA and you did a great job! So they hired you to do the photoshoot and another company to do the videoshoot? That must be a very lucrative club to be able to afford such professionals. Again, great job. Originally I thought you were putting together a volleyball highlight video. I created one for my daughter's college recruitment tour. It was so fun to do, but 100s of hours of watching Volleyball games to get the perfect plays.
Another winning BTS from the nest. Always appreciate your insights. We've been lucky enough lately to book some large programs for these and great to see other ideas. We did message you about pricing questions if you'd be willing to share...as thats always an unknown as to where we are vs the others out there...too cheap or too pricey. lobve you feedback if you have a second on it.
Incredibly valuable information here. I've got 5 days straight of media day coming up for spring sports with the school I take pictures for. So I'm geeking out bigtime on your setup. Quick question, any chance you can can share one of those PDF's with us? I really like that concept. It might help me also kind of communicate to players and coaches what I'm expecting from them on their specific media day. If you aren't able to share, I totally understand, but just thought I'd ask. Thank you!
Hey Tuba, I wouldn't want to share only because it's from an agency and not created by myself. Since I've had some specific questions about it I might just make another video in the future discussing what they usually entail.
@@QuantzPhoto That would be great! Thank you again for all your videos. I've learned so much from you. I'm pretty much set with studio lighting, but this next year I'm hoping to better dial in my background lighting either using a lighting array similar to what you have or possibly led light bars. Needless to say $$ will drive some of these decisions, but yeah. Always looking to provide a better and better product. Thank you for all the ideas and knowledge you're providing.
Can you go into how you edit pictures? I could really use that knowledge!
Another great video James. Thanks for giving tips on “secret recipes “. Have several of your modifiers… though less satisfied with customer service since Westcott took over. On a side note… I’m ashamed to admit it, but I have certain friends only because the vehicle they drive ( a van ). Think about it 😂
To raise your X-drop, you might consider furniture bed risers.
Do the video guys have a channel also? Would love to see some of that content also.
Thank you for these great videos! Truly inspiring! May I ask which case you are using for your lights?
Currently using a Pelican Air 1615 linked in the description. I also have a full video on my cases if you check the videos here!
Thanks for your amazing content James! I wanted to ask you how well the pro light mods on the westcott softboxes worked with the continuous lighting setup you briefly showcased being used on the video setup.
They were very happy with the results - used the 3x4 boxes and Mods! Fyi, they were on Amaran 300w RGB lights and the final results were achieved using several different modes on them.
Hi James, great video as per usual. Just a question on getting into this type of photography - would you recommend offering a free, limited content shoot to start to build a portfolio before pitching to other schools? College sports media isn't huge where I live, but I'd love to try and build a market for it. I guess part of my question is; how did you get started in sports photography? Thanks.
The 7ft light modifier is for fill? H
Shadow still pretty dark
Looking good James! HOw much time beofre the shoot did you have access to the room and figure out the dancefloor? or was that already considered knowing the location. It was great seeing you at Imaging. Keep the content coming!
We had a couple hours prior to the shoot thankfully!
I like the dividers on your Pelican 1615. What brand are they?
Hey Linda, they're the ones that come with the case when you get the one with dividers.
How do I get that crispy black background? 🥲 my main light always light up the black background/tripods. Do some of you have any ideas? Thank youuu 💞
What cases do you use to hold all of your lights?
How many lights will it hold?
Check my “Gear Cases” video!
When you say BLACK SEAMLESS on the top of the dance floors, what are you talking about...I didn't see a link. Can you tell me exactly what you used for the BLACK SEAMLESS.
Hey Janet, it's simply black seamless paper you get on rolls that you usually use for backdrops.
How long did you have with each player or group of players?
What smoke machine do you use and what type of fluid? I assume the smoke does not set off fire alarms. Thank you
It's linked in the description. I can't say whether it sets off alarms or not.
@@QuantzPhoto I didn’t see the more button. Thank you and sorry
Did you get to do this before they started the season? I have the Gr Rise by me.
Yeah it was before the season started.
8:38 what!?!? You don’t just show up and everything is ready to go? 🤣😂😅
🤷♂️🤣
What brand/model of are those rolling cases for your Westcott strobes? I didn't see those in the gear list. How many strobes do they hold?
Hey Scotty, check out my “Gear Cases” video and you can see all about them. They’re linked in that video’s description as well!
Thank you, sir!@@QuantzPhoto
I would like to know if you could tell me more about the video people next door who are using the Mods. What were their names so I can look up videos from them. I am also interested in the Mods for video and would be nice to see in depth videos about that. Any information would be helpful.
You can see their work on Instagram on the Atlanta Vibe account!
Do you ever work with fire?
I haven't
Can this be today please instead. :)
I'm trying to build the suspense over here! 🤣
If a smoke alarm was to be set off, who is responsible? The team, or the company?
You'd need to clear that with the location before doing anything.
@@QuantzPhoto kk!
