Paintball Videography

[ConcordeOneTwo]

I'm planning to do a show on paintball for local community access television. I'm going record video of a big game happening where I live. Anyone have any tips or suggestions regarding filming paintball?

i've never videotaped paintball myself, but i've plenty of "avalanche vs. xxxx" videos. from that, here's how i'd make these videos...

first, i'd have more than one camera man. it's incredibly unexciting to see everything from just one perspective...not to mention frustrating. i wanna see who they're shooting at...and what the other team is doing about it. and vice versa.

i don't know how feasible this one would be but also try and tape from ON the field. but since this is a private video, i doubt they'll let you. getting in the action, as close as possible, will also get your video some points. if anything, maybe they'll let you stand behind a ref or something.

and PLEASE for the love of God, don't use soundtracks from jerry bruckheimer movies. PLEASE!

that's all i can think of now.
