Phoenix fight Night April 30th

This Would be my second time filming an event for my client phoenix mma. I have been in meetings with the owner of Phoenix MMa to ensure that we can make the filming conditions as suitable as possible mainly with time schedules and changing the light fixtures in place.
This time around I had learnt allot of things from the previous outing and had made various changes to ensure things went as smooth as possible.
Firstly I hired a 3rd cameraman to capture all the entrances and to also help film during the fights for added angle to cut to .
I also included 2 extra cameras which acted as 2 static cameras to record from various parts around the cage .
So now portal Rec. Is a team of 3 each of which had differating tasks to complete.

Cameraman 1(myself)

- Record from birdseye pov entirety of fights.
- Record the main audio to be used .
- Direct the other 2 Cameramen

Cameraman 2

-Adjust static cameras when needed
-change tapes of static cameras
-use slr camera to take photos and record cutaways

Cameraman 3

-Record all fighter entrances
-Record a front establishing shot of all announcements
-Pan the cage when not filming above.

This time round their was a total of 17 fights so nearly 3 hours of footage recorded onto each camera which I alone will be editing , this task is slightly daunting but is the type of workload I can come to expect so hopefully my editing skills will become quicker and quicker each time.
