The Lincoln Eagles use Hudl to record game film & Hudl Assist to provide us with stats. Game film and stats are vital pieces to coaches to help develop players and game plans. It is important to be accurate when filming. Here are some tips to help you with recording on game days.
Game Day Tips
Set up at mid-court.
The best vantage point is mid-court, to the side of the scorer’s table. From that angle, your recording device will only have to rotate slightly, depending on where the action is.
Clear storage space.
Ideally, you’re going to want at least 2 – 3 GB free on your memory to make sure you capture the entire game.
Make sure your batteries are fully charged.
And be sure to bring an extra battery. If there are no outlets near your setup, an extra battery like this can be a lifesaver.
Bring a backup device.
Don’t risk missing the match because your camera or iPad suddenly died, crashed or ran out of storage space.
Get smooth video with a tripod.
No one wants to watch shaky video. Plus, the height of a tripod can help you reach the perfect vantage point, especially in a smaller gym.
Record the scoreboard.
Take quick scoreboard shots throughout the game, especially at the end of each quarter. Or simply include the scoreboard in your shot to make it easier to follow along. This will help our analysts as they tag and you as you review.
Capture referee signals and jersey numbers.
Keep the referee in the frame so you can record their signals throughout the game. Being next to the scorer’s table will keep you from missing the action.
Go easy on the zoom.
Stay far enough away to get both teams without using the zoom too often — you’ll thank yourself during review.
Only pause at timeouts.
To keep up with the flow of the game, and catch all substitutions, only pause at timeouts or between quarters. Even if there’s a call in question, keep recording so you (and our analysts) can catch the outcome.
Share how to view your broadcast or live stream.
However, you typically inform your followers, be it email or social, make sure they have the link to your game.
