Recently I combined my two favorite passions of filmmaking and soccer(futbol). The LA Galaxy organization has graciously granted us media access to demo/direct the RED and possibly Phantom cameras as a passion project. We will cut a spot together for them as well as explore the idea of MLS films ala NFL films but with more edge.

We've already shot one game.
We shot build 16, Cooke S4 15-40,Optimo 24-290, 1.4 extender, Redcode 28(to maximize fps), 2k,3k,4k and 2:1(also to maximize fps). We did have two crashes at 3k-60fps.

Here is a sample pre game clip. I can't show any game footage because it is owned by the MLS. However I can promise we did get some great footage and great access.

We have a few more games coming up and I really want to get more LA RED cameras/owners involved if possible. I'm looking for anyone that would be interested in coming out for a few hours to lens up David Beckham and possibly create MLS films or at least something for the reel. I would pair you up with one of ours to help shoot/AC. It would be a team effort. We are taking an interesting approach. Long lenses encouraged.

The next game is July 4th and there will also be a firework show in the stadium to shoot afterwards.

PM me if you have any interest and any links of interest(reels, package, etc.). It will be a good time, great setting/content, and always great to meet other peeps.

Regards,

Warren
 
awesome to get all kinds of different shots from different angles. 120 frames per second at the goal. are they letting you shoot there? don't need a long lens for that, right? once i get my birger mount and my red drive, i'll be up with that. unless you have an extra pl lens and red drive i can mount up on the red? other then that, i've got everything else.

We do have field level access and you're right the long lens isn't always needed.
 
Off topic: The Galaxy is sponsored by Herbalife? That is the same company that owns Chivas. Vergara is a crazy man!
 
I'll be in LA with my Red and my long lenses (400mm + 600mm canon) for a shoot on the 2nd. I might be able to stick around if this is the real deal. PM me
 
count me in.... I'm shooting here in Montana.... I will be back in LA July 9....

so another date after July 4 I'm in.

PS. I will be in South Africa in 2010 for the world Cup.

Last call for the 4th!

Last call for the 4th!

So we have a had a great response from the LA REDusers to shoot the Galaxy. The 4th of July game is tough as many have made plans prior to this. I have room for one more camera if anyone is interested. Remember that there will be a firework show afterwords as well. I have to submit my credentials list soon so PM or email me now.

Someone needs to wear the 10mm for me and get this shot.

Hey users,

We've had some great images come from our first three games! More images to come. Unfortunately we have two of our other operators out for the game this weekend so let me know if you're interested in coming down and shooting with us on Saturday. Send me a PM or email at warren@fofp.com. I have to send in our credentials list soon so let me know.

Cheers,

Warren
