As a former ice hockey player, nothing brings me more joy than getting back on the rink after a 15-year hiatus. I've been able to reconnect with old friends and relive the excitement of the game that I fell in love with so long ago.
But my passion for ice hockey has also sparked my creativity in the world of videography, as I aim to capture the intense action and fluid movements of the sport.
My first attempt at capturing ice hockey footage was a challenge. The constant movement and quick pace of the game made it difficult to keep a steady hand. But with determination and practice, I became skilled in the use of a gimbal, allowing me to capture smoother footage of the on-ice action. As I improved, I was even able to experiment with the gimbal while skating, capturing footage in a unique and dynamic way.
Recently, during a training session, I captured the best footage of my career. In slow motion, I caught a player scoring an incredible goal, with the gimbal allowing me to smoothly track the action as it unfolded. The resulting footage was stunning, showcasing the player's skill and the excitement of the game in a way that can only be captured through the lens of a passionate videographer.
My journey back to the rink has not only reignited my love for the game but has also allowed me to explore new ways of capturing the action through videography. As I continue to improve my skills and experiment with new techniques, I can't wait to see what amazing footage I'll capture next.
