Origins
Back in 2012 we spotted an opportunity; to bring elite level sports filming and analysis to grassroots teams.
As massive sports fans, keen participants and having been part of the sports industry for a number of years, we realised that the technology was out there to offer teams at every level the chance to have their ‘Sky Sports’ experience. We knew that if we felt passionate about this, others would too.
We started small. Focusing initially on Birmingham and the Midlands, we simply got out there and filmed local football and rugby clubs. Using HI-POD camera mast systems, we offered elevated footage at any facility giving an uninterrupted view of the action, following the flow of play and zooming in on all of the important moments. We worked hard to provide high quality footage at a reasonable price for any sport, at any level and any age.
Expanding our offer
We quickly realised there was more we could offer our customers to complement our filming services. Not only were teams coming to us to have the footage as a memento of their big day, performance analysis was more in demand from coaches and our editing services were becoming more popular. The introduction of commentary on top of graphics and highlights meant that teams were truly getting the experience of top-flight professionals.
Our customers
Over the last 8 years we have grown and learnt a lot. Our customers now range from grassroots community clubs such as Twickenham Rugby Club and Altrincham Hale FC to elite sports teams and organisations (The FA, the SFA, RFU, RFL), Leagues (NPL Football Academy), County FAs (Kent, Middlesex, Lancashire), YouTube football teams (DTFC, UFF) and independent schools (Cheltenham College, Manchester Grammar School).
And while our operators are out filming football, rugby and hockey on a weekly basis, we also have experience of covering a wide range of sports, including boxing, polo, golf, netball, touch rugby, pickleball and many more!
National coverage
With regional hubs in the North West, Midlands and South East England, we now have a network of camera operators across the UK, supported by a team of trained editors and analysts who enable us to provide consistent, professional, high quality footage at an affordable price.
