You follow the action and cover it from the best angles. This is the same from everything from weddings to reality shows to motion pictures. It's up to you to decide what those angles are. In this case, you'll want a 45 degree angle from the front of both sides, some mediums and a camera following the ball... possibly from multiple angles. this all depends on how many cameras you have to work with. You can cover a live volleyball event with as little as three cameras and can utilize as many as as you can handle, budget permitting.If only providing a highlight reel, one camera is fine. You'll just rove around a lot.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/anyone-have-volleyball-advice#post-62038 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 11:41:54 +0000 bobcypheruk 62038@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thanks Grinner, I don't have ESPN here in UK, only Sky. Not sure I agree with you that  it is no different from any other sport, they each have their own foibles and peculiarities. But I get your drift.</p> <p>Thanks also to vid-e-o-man, I have three cameras, one locked-off probably for "whole court" cutaways and two manned, one for each team.  Thanks again to both of you for your input.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/anyone-have-volleyball-advice#post-62036 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 07:42:49 +0000 vid-e-o-man 62036@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I don't know if this will help much but I shot my son's and other players' teams playing a number of sports at the grade school and high school level. I shot a lot of basketball which plays on a similar size court and stadium as volleyball. I shot some volleyball as well. Since I was shooting alone I tried a number of camera locations for best effect. I found that for one camera the best spot would be high in the stands, center court on a tripod tall enough to shoot over fans in front of you, I usually positioned myself standing on the top of the bleachers with tripod in front of me. I followed the action by panning and occasional zoomed for effect. I prescanned the court with the camera on the tripod to give me  a benchmark for the end of my pan to the left court and one for the court on the right. Since it is difficult to anticipate when a dramatic moment will occur, I generally used the zoom to highlight the player that had just scored or made a good defensive play. This would be as the player moved to the opposite end of court in basketball or as the players shifted into position for the serve in volleyball. As a secondary location in volleyball, I shot diagonally across the court from the back corner of the court behind the team that the shoot was featuring. If you have multiple cameras and a number of shooters, you can use a combination of these locations. I hope that these observations aren't too obvious and will help you set up for shooting volleyball.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Ed</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/anyone-have-volleyball-advice#post-62034 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 06:29:36 +0000 grinner 62034@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Just watch some ESPN highlights if in doubt. It's no different than any other sport. Wide shot, med on player(s) and a game camera following the ball/action.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/anyone-have-volleyball-advice#post-62020 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 10:49:48 +0000 bobcypheruk 62020@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hi, I've been asked to shoot a sport I've never filmed before - volleyball. I'm an experienced sports videographer/journalist and I've covered a lot of sport, football (UK version), rugby, cricket, athletics (T&amp;F), boxing, tennis etc etc but never volleyball. I've got some ideas of camera positions, low to accentuate the height of the guys playing the sport, high (around the height of the net for some dynamic "spike" footage) but I wondered if anyone here might have experience of shooting the sport they might be prepared to share.</p> <p>Best regards</p> <p>Bob</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/rendering-pixelates-my-video-even-at-native-resolution#post-52670 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 01:09:33 +0000 johnnymoha 52670@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Let me begin by saying that I'm happy to have found this site as there is tons of very useful information here. I've searched the forums a bit for a problem similar to mine, but i can't seem to find anything similar or I just don't know what the "keyword" is to find that golden thread with my answer. Anyway, I'm having a problem when I import an .avi file and take a clip from it and drag it to the timeline and then render it. It's very pixelated and isn't nearly of the quality of the original video. What setting have I screwed up that is causing this problem? Thanks very much for your help gurus of video.<img alt="my problem" src="http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/2392/resolutionproblem.png" /> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/please-help-fx1-wont-connect-to-vista-through-firewire#post-48325 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:46:27 +0000 cfulton 48325@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Please consider using some punctuation in the future... that'll make your posts a lot easier to read.</p> <p>You shouldn't need any drivers at all.</p> <p>Did you buy the camcorder new or used? I've seen FireWire connectors stop working on older camcorders. In practice, FireWire connections (particularly the 4-pin connectors) are more delicate than a lot of people would care to admit.</p> <p>Does your computer's FireWire port work with other things that you connect to it? If you attach the camcorder to another computer, is it detected then? (It also doesn't matter a bit on the brand of the computer.)</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/please-help-fx1-wont-connect-to-vista-through-firewire#post-48240 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:17:57 +0000 markyboyle 48240@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> i have just bought a fx1e and i cant capture through the firewire i have tried looking for help on the sony website and they dont have the driver but they say it is compatable with vista but it doest come up in the hardware profile after spending £1500 i am a bit confused to how one sony product cant reconise the other as i have a sony vaio laptop and using adobe premiere cs3 so i really need your help please</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/editing-video-using-microsoft-video-maker#post-48118 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:29:34 +0000 Margnijr 48118@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thank you. I can convert edited clips using the Sony software to .wmv format which will be accepted by Windows Movie Maker.  That is the route I am trying at the moment.  It works reasonably well but it is of course long winded.  I have got a new computer to handle the video so I know that it OK.  I note your suggestions for Movie Studio or Video Studio.  I will research them. What I would like is software which will take in the Sony .m2ts format, fine edit the clips and then put them into a story board adding titles and sound as you go.  Are Movie Studio and Video Studio capable to handling my requirements?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/editing-video-using-microsoft-video-maker#post-48008 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:10:14 +0000 zoobie 48008@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>The Vista editor has to support the filetype to work. That's probably m2ts/AVCHD/MP4. First see what Vista's editor supports then convert your caps if necessary or down-convert the cap in the cam to a compatible file. You'll be forced to save whatever Vista can which is just one reason it's not recommended. Maybe start with a little intro editor like Movie Studio or Video Studio. You'll also need to check if your computer has enough grunt to handle native editing and possibly have to upgrade or buy a new computer.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/editing-video-using-microsoft-video-maker#post-48005 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:48:36 +0000 Margnijr 48005@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Help. I have recently started using a Sony HDR-SR12E camcorder.  I have down loaded the video using the Sony Picture Motion Browser (PMB) supplied.  That is fine for editing but I would like to use Microsoft Video Maker (MVM) which came within MS Vista Home Premium.   I am unable to get the video clips into MVM.  When trying to import video clips, and clicking on the folder - the folder is empty, yet when you go back to PMB they are there. What am I doing wrong?  A very frustrated editor.  I am not an expert with computers so please don't make responses too technical.  Thank you.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/time-code-problems#post-46251 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 17:38:51 +0000 robGRAUERT 46251@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If it's anything like Final Cut Pro:</p> <p>In the Log and Capture window, in the "Capture Settings" tab, try changing "Device Control" to non-controllable device.
