Filming a Game

[GoatBoy]

Waste of Time and Money imo.

I just get out there like I'm reffing and film, if I get shot, well whatever. I always get shot

If my camera get shot... I'll kill someone =)

But no really, if you stay out of the lanes and just don't be stupid about it, (get bunker moves from farther away, use zoom + tripod)

Eh, building a simple box with some holes and a handle... or trying to clean paint and dirt off a camcorder? Which one's a bigger waste of time and money? Even if you're trying not to be stupid about it, you can't control the stupidity of other people on the field. Idiots + paintball guns == trouble. Take it from me: I'm the all-time leader in friendly fire receptions.


The other idea I'm playing around with is simply getting a weatherproof bullet camera and using the analog input of the camcorder... perhaps even wirelessly, so the MiniDV recorder's nowhere near anything. Could even mount it on a gun...

not to change the thread subject, but mabey you should try getting a ladder (or a skylift). If you know the guys who run the field they will have one to put up and fix nets. My biggest complaint about most paintball vids is that they don't show enough of what is going on on the field.
