Now that I’ve been working as a videographer intern at Hatters Collective for two weeks, I’m starting to get into my rhythm. The more time I spend shooting and editing content for the Stetson baseball team, the more I appreciate the impact of storytelling in sports.
This week, I’ve been focusing on creating player profiles that showcase the personalities behind their jerseys. It was a pleasure to interview the players and learn about their lives outside of baseball. Seeing how fans are interested in this content has become a great motivation.
One of the challenges I’ve faced is adapting to the unpredictable nature of sports. Weather changes, last-minute schedule changes, and unexpected moments mean that I always have to be flexible. But that’s what makes this job exciting—it helps me stay on my toes and sharpens my problem-solving skills.
I also improved my editing workflow by experimenting with different transitions and effects to make the videos more dynamic. The feedback from my mentors has been invaluable, and I am constantly learning new techniques to improve my work.
Looking ahead, I’m eager to dive deeper into storytelling and expand my creative possibilities. This internship already promises to be an amazing learning experience, and I can’t wait to see what the next few weeks bring.
Good observations about sports and storytelling. It would be good for you to investigate this more, possibly by watching some sports documentaries. What are the sources you currently use as models for your work? How have you adapted them to fit your own workflow?
