This recruiting video was made last month for a local tennis player, Max Roder, using predominantly the Kodak Zx3 and the QM-1 Camera Mount as both a monopod to steady the camera on the ground, and to hang on the fence for match points. Not bad for an inexpensive setup. Click Here to see video. We used Final Cut Pro X for editing.
Finally, here’s something I copied from a person with some experience in this field:
i played D1 tennis and was captain of my team my senior year. During my senior season I sat with my coach and watched some of his receruitment videos he received. He definately paid WAY more attention to those who sent him videos of actual matches. It’s a good idea to have a match taped, and edit in stats, and academic accomplishments that stream before the match starts. Nothing gives the impression of how you play better than a tough tournament match. Make it a good one, not one you just steamroll over some chump. Some people would send in training videos, and workout videos and such. We would watch those, but coach was definately paying more attention to the tournament play.If a coach has already came and seen you play multiple tournaments, then a workout video might be a good idea, or a video may not be necessary.
however, if he hasn’t seen you play, there really is no substitute for the tournament match good luck |
