As a director, you need a good understanding of the sport.
As a Director for Sports Commercials, it is not enough to be a skilled film director; one must have a deep understanding of sports. Knowledge of the economy and industry is essential to avoid embarrassment. Understanding the intricacies of different sports allows for authentic storytelling and better engagement with the audience. Moreover, being well-versed in the sports industry’s dynamics helps in creating commercials that resonate with fans and stakeholders alike. This blend of directing expertise and sports insight is crucial for success in this highly competitive field.
We try to prevent it and only rig the most necessary things.
We strive to avoid overloading the camera with rigging. However, for a commercial, a certain minimum amount of rigging is necessary to enhance the quality. In the sports sector, we rely on lightness and agility. Properly balanced rigging ensures stability and smooth movements, which are crucial for capturing high-quality footage. It allows us to achieve the desired angles and effects that make a commercial stand out. Therefore, while we aim to keep rigging to a minimum, it is essential to ensure the final product meets the high standards expected in the industry.
