SPORTS MEDIA SERVICES


Filming for Rygbi'r Byd a weekly programme on World Rugby. Since being at SMS I have had the opportunity to film training sessions with the Welsh Rugby team using DV CAM DSR 570 20-1 Canon J20A Lens and a Fuji 14-1 A14. It has been a good to learn sport camerawork to develop camera skills - by trying to focus continually on moving subjects and follow a fast moving ball, anticipating where it will go next (Filming the Welsh Team wasn't bad either!).

I have also been using Final Cut Pro to digitize and help cut items as well as filming some wildlife footage and cutting my own work.

While Cameraman Dai Williams was on holiday I got to fill in on his job for the week - filming the Welsh Training sessions at the Millenium Stadium, The Vale Hotel and at Sophia Gardens and also shot the press conferences and interviews with the players. I then had to work with the producer to edit a 3minute item using (Final Cut Pro) for the Rygbi'r Byd programme for S4C.
