The Lincoln Eagles use Hudl to record game film & Hudl Assist to provide us with stats. Game film and stats are vital pieces to coaches to help develop players and game plans. It is important to be accurate when filming. Here are some tips to help you with recording on game days.

Game Day Tips

Set up at mid-court.
The best vantage point is mid-court, to the side of the scorer’s table. From that angle, your recording device will only have to rotate slightly, depending on where the action is.

Clear storage space.
Ideally, you’re going to want at least 2 – 3 GB free on your memory to make sure you capture the entire game.

Make sure your batteries are fully charged.
And be sure to bring an extra bat­tery. If there are no out­lets near your set­up, an extra bat­tery like this can be a lifesaver.

Bring a backup device.
Don’t risk miss­ing the match because your camera or iPad sud­den­ly died, crashed or ran out of stor­age space.

Get smooth video with a tri­pod.
No one wants to watch shaky video. Plus, the height of a tri­pod can help you reach the per­fect van­tage point, espe­cial­ly in a small­er gym.

Record the scoreboard.
Take quick scoreboard shots throughout the game, especially at the end of each quarter. Or simply include the scoreboard in your shot to make it easier to follow along. This will help our analysts as they tag and you as you review.

Capture ref­er­ee sig­nals and jersey numbers.
Keep the ref­er­ee in the frame so you can record their sig­nals through­out the game. Being next to the scorer’s table will keep you from miss­ing the action.

Go easy on the zoom.
Stay far enough away to get both teams with­out using the zoom too often — you’ll thank your­self dur­ing review.

Only pause at time­outs.
To keep up with the flow of the game, and catch all sub­sti­tu­tions, only pause at time­outs or between quar­ters. Even if there’s a call in ques­tion, keep record­ing so you (and our ana­lysts) can catch the outcome.

Share how to view your broadcast or live stream.
However, you typically inform your followers, be it email or social, make sure they have the link to your game.
