High School athletics are taken seriously everywhere in the country, including Alaska. Unlike the 2014 open, we actually had a lot of time to prepare this open. We shot several teams as they were playing their playoff games and got a lot of unique and stylistic footage. We were able to use some game footage from the previous year of teams that we did not get to shoot.
It was a good edit because we had so much cover of the teams that we could actually put together a piece as we needed it to be rather than scraping the bottom of the barrel for a few shots that may or may not exist from the live broadcast.
