Because we're so used to it, you don't really realize how spectacular it is to get a continuous shot that begins with a clear closeup of the quarterback and ends with a clear closeup of the receiver in the end zone. Fascinating stuff.
I always liked the story Ed Sabol would tell about going to league meetings or broadcast industry events or whatever, and they would have NFL Films footage playing, and everyone would look at the ball in flight shots and say “How do they keep that in focus?” 50, 60 years later and I still wonder how they do that.
They have great footage….I hate the nfl films of miked up players obviously going for the sound bite…is so contrived…and the sappy struggle to get to the league stories with the vapid bubble headed bleach blond that knows nothing of the game…..remember the old narration and who ever wrote them…..that’s where the great camera work paired with sparse player mics and booming narration was excellent…I hope I’m not the only one that longs for this….
@@houseofchinn6112 the point is, the NFL has access to all that technology (or hire people that do) so they can make their replay systems just as good.

NFL Films is why I’m a fan of the NFL. They captured so much history.
One thing you can say for NFL Films: They have captured quite a few interesting angles over the years.
NFL Films does the best job of all major American Sports at capturing the most intimate moments of it's athletes during their performances.

Thats so true. When they break it down and you see how crisp the shot is in motion and done so perfectly every time. Its art
The tears @4:53 in the beginning of the super bowl must be one of the most intense emotions
When i wrecked my bike & broke my arm as a kid,that was intense too!
This is one of the few videos i revisit occasionally, as a casual nfl fan but huge lens nerd
Nick Siriani's tears during the Anthem at the Super Bowl still gets me emotional

Incredible! I shoot high school football and try to capture this style, but there is a limit to the lens, but now I see how they do it. Crazy setup!
Steve Sabol & NFL Films are 2nd to none! Now,the NFL itself...eeeeehhhhh...they have issues.
A NFL Film about NFL Films, crazy
Yeah they really can tell a great story, especially with the help of the cinematography
This is insanely informative and awesome!
Thanks you so much to the Sabol family!!!
Does anyone know who is the guy narrating this video? I’ve seen narrating multiple videos for NFL films and his narration is sublime!
RIP Steve Sabol 😢
Us NFL fans are so lucky to have NFL Films
Without them, so many shots and details of the action would be incapable of being looked back at.
MLB needs their own version of NFL Films.
Nice Gear For Sure 👍 Sweet
I had no idea that this is why they take so long to upload things. They only have one of these rare camera lenses to make these amazing shots
I wonder why they changed the thumbnail 😂😂
damn, this is special
that lens is ridiculous
I NEED ONE 😩
Pioneer.
This is for the public imagine what the military has😅
It's really too bad the NHL hasnt had something like this as long as the NFL has.
This is awesome who can I send my resume to!?

First
But we can't get better replays? 😅
That has nothing to do with NFL films

The broadcast tv crew from the NFL is way apart from NFL films, two different things
Nick crying during the national anthem should become the standard. If you don't have at least one guy cryin they might not want it as bad
