Rush Lacrosse
Rush Lacrosse, plenty of room on the bandwagon from Ryan Jackson on Vimeo.
Everything you need to know about Edmonton's Rush lacrosse team to join their winning bandwagon. Video by Ryan Jackson, edmontonjournal.com
I’ve shot a lot of sports over the years including NHL and NBA but I love shooting lacrosse. Maybe because it’s a smaller sport which wants to grow. The great thing about sports like this is you can get much much better access to shoot it.
I made this video with the help of Journal sports reporter Chris O’Leary. The Rush had a fantastic year in 2014 and I wanted to make a video that would get a new fan up to speed with everything they need to know about the sport and the team in under 90-seconds.
I filmed everything with my Panasonic GH3, Panasonic 12-25 f2.8, Canon 50mm f1.2L and 70-200 2.8L IS.
I used a LitePanels Micro Pro LED light and a wireless mic for Chris.
One gigantic help for this video was to use my iPhone as a teleprompter There are several apps out there. I use “Teleprompt+ 3” which works really well. I’ll write more about how I mount the iPhone above my lens in future posts.
