These videos were shot with my Canon EOS 5D Mark II DSLR, a Røde VideoMic, and my GoPro HD Hero2. The DSLR and the Røde VideoMic were all mounted on top of my Manfrotto monopod for maximum handheld flexibilty. The GoPro was mounted on top of a light stand from my studio, and was up about eight feet. Video post-processing was done in Adobe Premier Pro CS 6.0.2.
Vashon Island High School Varsity Volleyball v Seattle Academy
The GoPro takes at hit! Oh noes!!
I set up my GoPro HD Hero2 on a light stand pushed right up against the corner of the bleachers to use as a B-Camera while shooting VIHS Varsity Volleyball v Seattle Academy. Of course it didn't get out of warm-ups before a light stand leg was hit by a volleyball. Surprising how easily the GoPro mounts were thrown out of whack by a volleyball hitting the leg of the light stand. Gotta think about that. Saving it in post-processing isn't a permanent solution.
Really this was just kind of a dry run to see if I can get any useful footage out of the GoPro in the Vashon Island High School gym. The answer is yes, definitely. If I can figure out some way to set it up where it won't get hit by anything...
Much more Varsity Volleyball v Seattle Academy video later after I get some other stuff done...
