Things have definitely taken off, I must say! Two home games in very quick succession will do that to an intern I suppose. But yeah, after my first game and a good four days of downtime, I had four days of work to make up for it. I had a game, followed by a day of intense editing, followed by another game, and yet another day of editing. As crazy as it was, I can say it’s gotten me into the swing of things (that could almost be a baseball pun…)! I’m starting to learn how to edit faster and sort my work efficiently, and also what to focus on during games.

Last Wednesday was my second game, though it felt like my 10th. I adjusted to things pretty quick, even from only having a single game to kind of figure things out beforehand. I knew where to stand to take good pictures, which settings to use on my camera for day and night shooting, which fan moments to video tape, etc. Only bummer was, the rain decided to ruin my vibe around the 7th inning! Ah well; hiding under the bleachers for an hour builds character I suppose.

Following the game came editing for five hours the following afternoon, but I felt like I was getting faster/better at that too.

Sure enough, come game time on Friday and the subsequent editing day on Saturday, I was taking pictures, videos, and posting to social media in a sort of battle rhythm. Not to mention I got a sort of strategy for editing which greatly reduced my work time! So yeah, definitely getting a handle on things.

It’s also really nice because I’m finally starting to get gratification for the work I’m producing. My supervisor posted a lot of our captured highlights on the League’s website, so it’s nice to see my work paying off! I’m excited for what this upcoming week will bring; hopefully not more rain!
