7.17.08 · Spokesman-Review · video ➤ Spokane Indians kids camp

Who can pass up a video about a kids' camp? As the Spokane Indians beat (print) reporter, I arrived at Avista Stadium a few hours early to shoot some footage. The kids got pointers from professional baseball players and got to show off their skills.

I shot this with a standard-def Sony DCR-SR200 and edited it in Final Cut. It was a challenge getting good audio with all those kids running around screaming.

I shot the stadium footage with a standard-def Sony DCR-SR200, used file photos from The Spokesman-Review's vault and got stock music. The challenge in producing this video was using motion on the still photos, which took some time to master.
