Ever been sitting around at a football game and wondered who's running around in that mascot suit? Well, no one will tell you once they choose someone. That's why you have to go to the tryouts to see how hot, sweaty and exhausting being a mascot truly can be.

I shot this with a standard-def Sony DCR-SR200 camcorder and edited in Final Cut. The big challenge was color correction, due to poor lighting conditions in the gym. One wall was covered with mirrors, which limited framing and movement.
