Action Shooting

For shits and giggles, and to get a little practice with my 60D, I shot some footage of a recent indoor action shooting league. Most videos you see of this sport are short cell phone videos of people having buddies film them for fun. I thought it would be different to do sort of a narrative short.

At the end of the night my friend brought up the fact that he's never seen a documentary on action shooting, and neither had I, though I never went looking for one. So with that, I've been mulling over the idea of shooting a documentary. The only down side to such a project is budget. I'm missing a lot of gear that would be needed, and nice to have, to shoot a proper documentary. Along with gear is travel, as the majority of the matches are at minimum a 45 minute drive. Lastly, I'm almost positive that my own shooting will take a hit due to the effort that I'd put into capturing footage at each match in which I intend to compete.

So.... Will this happen? I'm not sure, I need a lot of things to to make it happen. I've been reaching out to a few friends to gauge interest in help and also been thinking about Kickstarter or similar for funding. We'll just have to see, enjoy the video.
