OUR DEFINITION OF THE TERM 'NON-LEAGUE' |
|
Our definition
of a 'Non-League' Team on this website is generally Clubs who play in Senior
Saturday Football from the
Blue Square Premier League (Football Conference) downwards and operate on
more or less a Semi-Professional basis', although for our
Non-League catalogue, we have included all
mens' clubs who play their football on Saturdays, including the A.F.A.
Leagues such as the Amateur Football Combination and the
Southern Amateur
League, and even down to parks' level. |

HOW WE FILM, EDIT & PRODUCE NON-LEAGUE
MATCH DVD'S & VIDEOS
|
|
 All
'Senior Saturday'/Semi-Professional Non-League Matches are generally filmed in
stadiums or 'fenced-in' grounds at which there is normally a reasonable
vantage point on or near the half-way line for us to use just
the one camera set up on a tripod. Of course some Non-League grounds are
not ideal for filming a game of football and some of our recordings are
spoilt slightly by pillars obscuring parts of the pitch or by having to
film matches at touchline level for various reasons. However, we always
ensure that we have a clear view of both goalmouths whenever we are
filming, so goals are never missed because of a pillar, a linesman or a
spectator's head getting in the way !
For Cup Finals, depending where our cameraman is filming the game from, we normally
capture the post-match presentations of trophies and medals
by taking the camera off the tripod and using it 'shoulder-mounted' at the
presentation table to enable
good close-up shots of the delight (or misery) on players' faces !
All Non-League matches
up until April 2001
were recorded using an S-VHS camera which
produced a good quality image, but that was greatly improved when we
upgraded to the Mini-DV (Digital) format thereafter. Our cameramen then
invariably began to use the
Canon XM2 or
the Sony PD150 or
PD170 range
of digital cameras, all of which produced broadcast quality pictures. From
Season 2007-2008 onwards though, our cameramen are now using even better
cameras such as the
Canon XHA1, the
Sony HVR-Z1E and the
JVC GY-HD251E. These can all film in true widescreen (16:9) format and
in HDV (High Definition) if required.
Matches filmed up until May 2003 were edited & produced by feeding the
footage from the camera master tape into a stand-alone non-linear
editing suite which was not DV-enabled. This
means that the edited
master copies of all matches filmed before then are in the S-VHS format
and DVD or VHS copies for customers are run off from that. Although the copies of those matches are of reasonable quality, the acquisition of
computer-based editing software in July 2003 meant we were able to produce vastly improved copies of matches filmed from the
start of Season 2003/2004 onwards, as the source footage and edited
version is kept in a loss-free digital format which is of television
broadcast quality. Slow-motion replays and titles are now greatly
enhanced and more importantly, copies of all matches filmed from the
start of Season 2003/2004 onwards are available on DVD's which include
menus and chapters whereby the goals can be accessed at
the click of a button rather than by rewinding and searching.
(DVD's of matches that were edited & produced
before Season 2003/2004
are straightforward copies from S-VHS master tapes, so they do
not include menus and
chapters).
The
finished (fully-edited) version is kept as the Master Copy for an
unlimited period of time, both in tape format and on DVD, so copies for
customers can then be run off at any time in the future (as
per those listed in our Catalogues on this website).
.jpg) All Non-League Match
DVD's & videos include the full
match with Extra-Time & Penalties if necessary, together with all the usual
post-match presentations for Cup Finals, but we do not do a match commentary or film
interviews and dressing-room scenes, mainly because the cost of recruiting
extra cameramen or a commentator is too
expensive for the average Non-League club.
Up until March 2005, most of our
Non-League Match DVD's & videos included a narrated introduction
describing both teams' line-ups and current form. However, we no
longer do that due to a lack of time
to script the narration, although the improved picture and editing quality more than
makes up for that. There is no match commentary on any of our Non-League
Match DVD's & videos, mainly because good (and
knowledgeable) commentators at Non-League level are hard to find, although we may experiment with that in the
future depending on willing volunteers who do not want paying ! (It would
prove too costly for Non-League Clubs to afford if they did).
In general, we prefer to use plenty of captions throughout our videos instead, and these display
the names of goalscorers, substitutions, latest score and players who have
been booked or sent off, etc.
All copies of Non-League Match
DVD's & videos are supplied in presentation
boxes with full colour inserts featuring either ground shots or still-frame shots of footage from
the actual match.
(See the examples above right for videos and left and below for DVD's).
From Season 2007-2008 onwards, all matches will be filmed, edited & produced
in the widescreen (16:9) format. Most TV stations now broadcast all football
matches in widescreen, so we anticipate that most of our customers will
already have widescreen TV sets on which to view their DVD's. If you are
watching our DVD's on a standard 4:3 ratio TV set, the DVD's should display
in widescreen with black bars at the top and bottom of the picture.
Sometime during Season 2008-2009, we are hoping to start filming and
producing matches in high definition on HD-DVD or Blu-Ray discs. Our cameras can already film in that
format, but Blu-Ray or HD-DVD recorders and players are not readily
available at this moment in time. Please note that prices for filming,
editing & production in high definition (HDV) are also likely to be a lot
more expensive than we charge for the current standard definition (SD)
format.
 Our Non-League Match DVD's & videos (and Compilations) are more expensive than those produced by other
cameramen/video companies who film for Non-League clubs because we put a
lot of effort into the filming, editing & production of each video to
make them as professional as possible.
Most other cameramen/video companies involved in Non-League Football
prefer to sell their DVD's and/or videos for as little as £5.00 each, but they are invariably just a straightforward
unedited copy direct from the camera master tape without any titles, team
details or slow-motion replays inserted. This can result in a lot of
'shaky' camerawork being left in which can make the footage rather
irritating to watch, but the general standard of camerawork on our Match
DVD's & videos is second to none in Non-League Football and even puts the
filming on some professional clubs' videos to shame !
Other video companies/cameramen also tend to sell their DVD's & videos to clubs
and/or supporters in a plain 'tape manufacturers' box, but with all copies of
our Non-League Match DVD's & videos being supplied in proper presentation
boxes in the Home (or winning) team's colours, these look far more appealing to supporters when
they are put on display in club shops. |

OUR NON-LEAGUE FILMING HISTORY |
|
 We
started off our coverage of Non-League Football back in the early 1990's
when Laurence Hughes persuaded his local club,
Enfield F.C. that by filming
all their matches Home and Away and selling copies of the Match Videos in
their club shop, it would be a good fund-raising venture. This was
immediately taken up, and although we filmed the games free of charge, it
proved to be a worthwhile exercise as Enfield F.C. were a successful club at
the time and enough money was made from the sales of Match Videos and
Compilations to continue filming them on a regular basis until the start of
the 1998-1999 Season. (Click
here to read more about our filming of Enfield F.C. matches).
However, as Enfield's fan-base dwindled thereafter due
to the sale of their Southbury Road ground (See
picture right) and financial difficulties, we therefore needed to film for a club with
bigger support in order to continue as a business, so we agreed to cover
Aldershot Town during the 1998-1999 Season, mainly due to former Enfield
Manager George Borg inviting us to do so after he had been appointed Manager
at Aldershot Town for that season. Although we sold three times as many
copies of Match Videos and Compilations than we ever did at Enfield, the
journey to Aldershot from our base in Edmonton was just too long and we had
to decline their offer to continue filming their matches the following
season as we were wasting too much time stuck on the dreaded M25 !
We then took a season off to concentrate on designing this website and the
one for our sponsored Sunday League club
Edmonton Rovers, while we also used
the time to experiment with new computer-based editing ideas and catch up on
a large backlog of editing work. We then resumed filming Non-League football
half-way through the 2000-2001 Season when we covered
Farnborough Town's
run-in to the Ryman League Premier Division title under former Enfield
player Graham Westley, this proving to be another successful venture for us.
Again though, we declined the offer to continue filming for them the
following season due to the travelling involved, and for Season 2001-2002
onwards we decided to start covering several different Non-League clubs by
just picking and choosing a match each week where we thought there might be
a possibility of selling copies to supporters who had not purchased any of
our videos before. This coincided with the formation of
Enfield Town F.C. by
disenchanted Enfield supporters, and we covered a large number of their
games in addition to several for the likes of
Dulwich Hamlet,
Bishop's
Stortford and Cheshunt amongst others, although sales of videos were rather
disappointing and it appeared that the novelty was starting to wear off for
some clubs.
 In 2003 we then received an offer from the Footballers Football
Channel to film all Home matches for Nationwide Conference clubs
Gravesend &
Northfleet and Dagenham & Redbridge, in which the footage was to be
broadcast on the Internet. We immediately took up the offer as it was the
first time we had actually been paid for filming and it guaranteed us an
income rather than relying on sales of Match Videos. While we were working
for the Footballers Football Channel (otherwise known as T.F.F.C.), we did
not have access to the footage after matches in order to produce Match
Videos, so the games we filmed for them are therefore not listed on this
website, but the venture did not last long anyway as T.F.F.C. unfortunately
went bust within a year. Fortunately, when that happened (in early 2004),
Gravesend & Northfleet (now known as
Ebbsfleet United) agreed to pay us themselves to continue filming every
Home match and we have continued to do so ever since. With Dagenham &
Redbridge deciding to use their own club cameraman, we then immediately
accepted an offer from Ryman League Premier Division leaders
Canvey Island
to film all their Home matches as well, on the same paid basis as Gravesend
& Northfleet, and that proved to be a wise move, as Canvey Island won the
title that season and were then promoted to the Nationwide Conference as
well. We then continued to film for both Gravesend & Northfleet and Canvey
Island for the 2004-2005 Season as they both invariably played at Home on
alternate Saturdays, but when Grays Athletic were promoted into the
Conference for the 2005-2006 Season, Gravesend and Canvey's Home matches
then clashed, so we decided to take up an offer to film for Grays Athletic
as well so that we would be filming every Saturday and we therefore filmed
all
Home matches for all three clubs during the 2005-2006 Season.
Unfortunately, Canvey Island voluntarily dropped out of the Conference at
the start of
the 2006-2007 Season to play at a lower level, so we therefore filmed Home
games for Gravesend & Northfleet and Grays Athletic
only last season, whilst also providing footage
to Conference TV for showing on the internet. |
| |
|
WHO WE NOW FILM FOR ON A REGULAR BASIS |
|
 We have been filming for Gravesend & Northfleet
(See picture right) since
early 2004 and for Grays Athletic since the start of Season 2005-2006. When
their Home games clash, which fortunately is not very often, we use freelance cameramen to help us out so that
all games are covered. These cameramen are invariably from other Conference clubs or other Edmonton/Enfield-based cameramen who have plenty
of experience in filming Non-League and amateur football matches for us. You
can read about some of the freelance cameramen we use by
clicking here.
For Season 2007-2008, due to new sponsorship deals,
the Conference's top Division is now known as the
Blue Square Premier League,
while Gravesend & Northfleet have changed their name to
Ebbsfleet United.
In January 2008, Ebbsfleet United were taken over by
the website myfootballclub.co.uk (commonly known as MyFC), and that has
resulted in our Ebbsfleet United Home match footage from that date onwards
being streamed to viewers worldwide on the
MyFC website. Although we are
still filming the matches, they will not be listed on
this website and footage
can only be obtained via Ebbsfleet United F.C. and the MyFC website. This is
actually a very good deal for us, and we hope to continue in our role as the
main camera operator for filming Ebbsfleet United Home matches for the
foreseeable future. This will be in conjunction with IPTV company
Juzou, who will film from
alternative camera angles, film interviews, and undertake the editing and
production duties for the MyFC website.
All Conference (Blue Square Premier League) clubs that we film for on a regular
basis are charged £60.00 per match (which they pay on the day of the match in cash or by
cheque) for two unedited copies (on VHS or DVD) to be run off straight from
the camera as the game is being filmed. These unedited copies are then given
to the respective Team Managers straight after the game, which is a
Conference legal requirement. In return for us only quoting a price of
£60.00 per match, the clubs must provide the VCR's and/or DVD recorders
themselves and have them already set up for us before the kick-off on
purpose-built television gantries on top of the stand roof above the
half-way line. Unfortunately, Grays Athletic no longer have a television
gantry due to their local Borough Council refusing to grant planning
permission, so we now have to film from the back of the main stand, which is
only five rows of seats high and with dugouts obscuring most of the
pitch...as you will see from the picture below left. The excellent
 view
from where that picture was taken is no longer available to us, but we
were able to film from that angle during Season
2005-2006.
If there is a demand from supporters to buy a minimum of five copies on DVD
of a particular Home match involving the Conference clubs we film for, then we will edit the footage and produce Match DVD's
including titles, slow-motion replays and transitions, and sell them to the
respective Club Shops for £8.50 per copy (to retail to supporters at £11.00
per copy, thereby making a small profit for the club). Matches that have
been edited and produced will then be listed in our
Non-League Catalogue on this website.
Invariably though, most Conference matches we film stay unedited, although if there is no demand for an edited & produced match
DVD, we save all the best highlights from the camera master copies with a
view to producing an end-of-season Compilation/Review DVD using that
footage. However, this normally depends upon us finding somebody who can
script a narration or do a voice-over/commentary, which is something that we
have been unable to do so far, although we are looking into that
possibility. For Ebbsfleet United this season,
that task will be undertaken by MyFC and Juzou with us receiving royalties
from the use of our footage.
We also have our footage from Ebbsfleet United and
Grays Athletic Home matches shown on
Setanta Sports' Blue Square Premier Review Show every Friday evening at
6.00.p.m. This has replaced the internet deal with Conference TV that had
been in place for the previous two seasons.
For Setanta's show, our normal charge to TV companies of £150.00 per match
applies, although due to a 'misunderstanding' by the Conference, we are
having to provide footage for a compromised amount which is a great deal
less. Nevertheless, any money received from TV companies showing our footage is invaluable to us as it enables us to keep the
cost of filming down to £60.00 for the clubs instead of the £100.00-plus
that we would normally have to charge.
Both Ebbsfleet United and Grays Athletic are excellent clubs to work for and
they also play at venues which are easy to get to from our base in Edmonton,
so at the present time, we are not looking to film any other Non-League
Clubs on Saturdays and in midweek. Should one of these two clubs decide they no longer need our services
or their Home fixtures clash on a regular basis, then a
vacancy will arise for another club to have all their Home games filmed and the terms and conditions for filming will be
negotiable depending on the League that the interested club plays in. Please
contact us if your
club wishes to be placed on a waiting list in that respect. |

HOW
WE GET BOOKED TO FILM NON-LEAGUE MATCHES
|
|
.jpg) Most of our bookings to film one-off League matches or
Cup Finals for Non-League clubs have been as a result of us filming on a
regular basis for the likes of Enfield, Aldershot Town, Farnborough Town and
more recently Gravesend & Northfleet (Ebbsfleet United), Canvey Island & Grays Athletic.
Filming for such high-profile Non-League clubs has enhanced our reputation,
especially when their many different
opponents have ordered copies of Match Videos and/or DVD's and subsequently
seen the quality of our productions.
Although we currently film for Ebbsfleet United and
Grays Athletic every Saturday and most Tuesday evenings, we can still take
bookings to film one-off matches and Cup Finals for Non-League clubs as we
may have freelance cameramen available on some Saturdays and particularly on
other midweek evenings. Our contact details and website
address is included on the back of every DVD/video insert that we produce
(See the example right), and
many bookings that we receive to film matches are from clubs who have seen
another club's DVD or video and contacted us as a result. |
| |
|
TELEVISION COMPANIES REQUESTING FOOTAGE |
|
We
quite often have requests from television companies to use footage of goals
and any other major incidents from matches we have filmed, or to use archive
footage we have of players in their Non-League or Youth Team days before
they became famous.
For this, we do a copy of the footage required from the Master Tape onto
another Mini-DV tape and generally charge £50.00 (for unlimited showings)
for that if it is for regional TV or for streaming on a website, and £150.00
or more (for unlimited showings) if it is for National or Satellite TV.
Please be aware that we do not allow courier services to collect camera
Master Tapes from TV gantries straight after a match without us making a
copy first, and we request that all payments for courier collections are
made by the TV company and that the tape is returned to
our office once you have the
footage you require.
Laurence Hughes and most of our freelance cameramen
are also available to film matches in the South-East of England specifically
for television and internet companies for a minimum fee of £150.00 per
match, particularly in midweek. This price is for capturing on Mini-DV tapes
in standard definition, either in 16:9 or 4:3 format. We can also film in
high definition on Mini-DV HDV tapes for a minimum fee of £200.00 per match.
These fees include giving the TV or internet company the camera master tapes
straight after the match.
Please
contact us for further details. |

|
|
Basically,
we are very aware of how football is covered on T.V. and we make every
effort to transfer their ideas to our coverage of Amateur &
Semi-Professional Football. Some of the ideas we have picked up on are
when to cut away to the crowd or the Team Managers, when to zoom in on the referee (after he
has made a 'contentious' decision), when to put in a slow-motion replay,
having the current score displayed in the top left-hand corner of the
screen,
and the use of titling effects to merge a team line-up into
a formation with the players warming up in the background. Most
importantly though, unlike other video companies who attempt to film
football matches with just the one camera, we do not film cut-aways of the
crowd while the ball is in play !
Obviously, we cannot reproduce the sort of coverage that they manage on
Sky (with 20 cameras dotted around the ground and hi-tech graphics in abundance), but for Amateur & Semi-Professional
footballers the most important thing is getting the match filmed properly
for an affordable price and we manage to do that rather well !
|
-
We do not put
a commentary on our Non-League
DVD's and
we no longer film pre-match build-ups such as coach journeys or
pre-match or post-match interviews with players
and managers. The reason for that is the lack of additional
personnel available to carry out such jobs, together with the extra
editing work it involves. Ultimately, it would result in clubs waiting twice
as long for their finished product, while we also
have to charge them twice or even three times as much as normal to pay
for the extra cameramen, commentators and possible hire of equipment.
We
prefer to offer a basic and affordable service whereby only one
cameraman is used to film the match (and the presentation ceremony for
Cup Finals) only.
By doing this, we can cover more matches for more clubs.
- Our cameramen
film all matches as a complete neutral and show no favouritism towards
any one side (such as refusing to zoom in on a goalscorer because he
is playing for a team who have not initially booked us to film the
match). This is because the team who have not booked us may decide after
the match that they would like to share the filming fee and order
copies.
- In general, we only film matches within a
50-mile radius from our base in Edmonton, North London, and our pricing
structure covers that distance. As a rough guide, the most Northerly
point we cover is Cambridge, to the East is Colchester,
to the West is Oxford, the South-West is Basingstoke and the South-East
is Ashford (Kent).

|
DOES YOUR CLUB HAVE A
WEBSITE ? |
|
If your club books us
to film a match, we will give their club website a free listing on our
Links page |
| |
INFORMATION
WE REQUIRE WHEN YOU BOOK US TO FILM YOUR MATCH
|
-
YOUR NAME,
POSITION WITH THE CLUB
(e.g. Secretary, Club Shop Manager, etc.) ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBERS & E-MAIL ADDRESS
- YOUR
TEAM'S NAME
- THE
OPPOSING TEAM'S NAME
- THE NAME OF THE
LEAGUE (including sponsors) & DIVISION or CUP
COMPETITION & WHICH ROUND
- THE
VENUE FOR THE MATCH
- THE DATE
OF THE MATCH
- TIME OF
KICK-OFF
- WHERE
CAN WE PARK AT THE GROUND ?
WHICH
ENTRANCE DO WE GO IN ?
WILL THERE BE A 'PRESS PASS' ON THE GATE FOR US ?
IS
THERE A PARTICULAR CLUB OFFICIAL OR STEWARD TO ASK FOR WHO WILL SHOW US
WHERE TO FILM THE MATCH FROM ?
(The
above questions are all for Home Teams who book us for
filming)
- Whether
you have contacted your opponents to find out if they are interested
in booking us as well (and sharing the cost).
|
|
Once
we have all the above information, we then check on the availability of
a cameraman and once that is confirmed, we then send you a Confirmation
of Booking letter by e-mail which will give you all the necessary details.
The Confirmation of Booking letter will also instruct you whether to pay
the cameraman on the day or whether to send a cheque to our office. This is because some of our cameramen are
freelance operators who we prefer to pay ourselves once they have given
us the camera master tape from the actual match. |
| |
|
VANTAGE
POINTS TO FILM FROM AT YOUR GROUND |
|
 Finding
a good vantage point to film a match from at a Non-League ground is
often very difficult for our cameramen as only a small minority of clubs
have either an unobstructed view from the back of a large main stand, a
safe flat roof on a clubhouse, or a purpose-built platform/television
gantry, and not all of these are situated on or near the half-way
line. Most clubs have main stands that we cannot get to the back
of to film matches because there are too many pillars obscuring our
view of the pitch, while others have one small stand with only three
rows of seats and a corrugated iron (or sloping) roof which we cannot
get on top of for safety reasons.
At other times we are told to move our camera/tripod 'at the last minute'
by club safety officers or stewards because we are in the way of spectators and
sometimes end up filming at ground level near the corner flag somewhere
!
All Non-League clubs who book us to film matches
at their grounds are therefore advised to look into constructing a
decent vantage point for us if they have not got a suitable position
already. The size of the platform needs to
be at least 6 ft. x 6 ft. (2 metres x 2 metres) square for our cameraman
and his tripod and other equipment to fit on comfortably. Our
DVD's/videos will be much more appealing to your supporters if they
include a good clear view of the pitch from a decent height (e.g. 5 feet
minimum and as near to the half-way line as possible). |
| |
|
HAVE
WE FILMED YOUR TEAM BEFORE ? |
|
If
we are coming to film your next Home game, we can bring along some
copies of previous videos or DVD's from our
Non-League Catalogue that feature your team, so that you can
sell them to supporters on the day.
This is how it works: |
|
|
| |
|
ARE YOU THE AWAY TEAM ? |
|
Please be aware that if you are the Away Team and you want us to film
your Non-League match, you MUST obtain the Home Team's permission in
advance, otherwise they may not let us inside the ground.
A growing number of clubs at all
levels of Non-League Football now have all their Home games filmed by a
resident cameraman or video company, so we prefer to do Home matches
only.
If you are playing Away to a club who do not have their Home matches
filmed, they may demand that we provide them with a free unedited copy
of the game (for their Team Manager) in return for letting us film the
match in their stadium. This will invariably mean that you will have to
pay the full Filming, Editing &
Production costs unless the Home Team agree to share that with you
and obtain fully edited & produced DVD's.
Please also be aware that if your club have been drawn away
to a Football League (or Premiership !) club in the F.A. Cup, it is
highly unlikely that we will be allowed to film, particularly as TV
companies have cameras present for all F.A. Cup matches from the First
Round Proper onwards. |
INFORMATION
WE REQUIRE ON THE DAY OF THE MATCH
|
|
Your cameraman for the
match will normally arrive at the venue at least an hour before the
kick-off. On doing so, they will enter the ground as per the
Home Team's instructions (i.e. which entrance to go in, whether to pick
up a ground/press pass, which steward or club official to see regarding
where to video the game from, etc.).
If you are the Home Team, we would be grateful if one of your officials
could supply our cameraman with a free match-day programme on his
arrival at the ground, as we require as much information as possible
from the programme in order to do the opening titles on the video. |
|
If
you are a small club without such things as a P.A. system, printed
team-sheets for the press or even a match-day programme, it is essential that on the day of the match
one of your club officials provides our
cameraman with the following information regarding both teams, so
that we can produce a DVD of the quality that we advertise: |
- THE PLAYERS FULL NAMES (no
initials or middle names) and CORRECT NUMBERS OF SHIRTS WORN ON THE
DAY. (Please watch out for any mis-prints of players names in the
match-day programme).
- YOUR TEAM’S COLOURS PLAYED IN
ON THE DAY. (These colours will be used on the presentation box for
the finished copies unless you inform us that you were wearing a change
of kit and you would prefer your normal colours)
- CAPTAIN’S NAMES
- GOALSCORERS (in order of
who scored)
- SUBSTITUTIONS MADE (who
came on for who and at roughly what time in the match...this is
especially important if any half-time substitutions are made)
- BOOKINGS or SENDING-OFFS (if any)
- TEAM MANAGER’S NAMES
- REFEREE & ASSISTANT REFEREE'S
NAMES
|
|
At
most of the Cup Finals we film for clubs at parks' and A.F.A. level, we find that the Team Manager is
normally (and understandably) too busy to write out all the above
details for us, so we strongly advise clubs to appoint another club
member as being responsible for providing this information for our
cameraman. It is always best if a club can find somebody to write things
down as the match goes on, especially for details such as the correct
shirt numbers for players, substitutions made and the goalscoring order,
as these can all be easily forgotten after a match and it
is extremely difficult for us to guess which player is which if we do
not have the correct shirt numbers available when we are editing the
video. |
| |
|
ADVERTISING OUR
DVD'S & VIDEOS BEFORE OR DURING THE MATCH |
|
Most
Non-League clubs should be well-organised enough to inform their
players, officials & supporters that we are filming their game and
that copies of the DVD will be available for them to purchase from
their club shop. This can be done by a mention in the match-day
programme, over the P.A. system before the kick-off or at half-time, and
on notices in the bar, clubhouse or club shop.
If players, officials & supporters are urged to pay for their copies
on the day of the match (so that copies are reserved for them to collect
as soon as they are delivered to your club), then you can easily collect
in enough money to pay our cameraman the initial filming, editing &
production fee (see pricing) on the day
or to send a cheque to our office a few days later. |
