Two posts in one day? What?! That’s Crazy. Anyway, here’s another look at a video I shot for justbats.com. Marucci is a bat manufacturer that produces a large portion of the bats you see in the MLB. They are a young company, but really grew fast to become one of the hottest bat manufacturers of wood bats for the majors. You will see tons of Marucci bats in little league, senior league, and even high school and college baseball. So naturally we wanted to do something big when this new Marucci Black was introduced back in late October/ early November. Their tagline for the Black is “Beware of the Black” so we played off that idea and shot this pitcher vs. hitter battle. The beginning of the video shows a tie game in the 9th inning with 2 outs, so we know this is a crucial at-bat. Obviously if you watch until the end of the video, the hitter crushes the ball into the black of the sky and we as the audience assume he hit a home run or got an RBI to win the game. This shoot was so much fun to do! We shot most of it at night out on a local high school baseball field. One barrier we had to overcome was the fact that I’m an idiot and overloaded the outlets we had to use for our lights. So a few of the closeup shots of the batter we ended up shooting inside, but it worked out all the same. Again, this one was shot on the Canon 7D, which worked out very nicely for the slo-mo shots we did. We shot everything except for the last three hits in 60p and then slowed it down in post to 24. Overall I think it was a success. Let me know what you think. Enjoy!
