How to create an awesome video...

All Star Video Productions incorporates your athletic video footage and photos to music
from our soundtrack collection to produce your professional sports highlight film.

To achieve optimal results for an outstanding scholastic video, please consider the following tips listed in our production guide below. We also encourage you to use your own creative ideas to give your video a more personal touch.


                Video Footage Tips and Ideas..

When shooting game footage yourself using your own personal camcorder be sure to use a superior quality camera to capture the best, most clear footage possible. Here's some tips to follow when shooting your own video footage:

- When shooting, start recording early and keep recording about 10 seconds after the play ends.

- Avoid leaving "snow" or any blank space in your video.

- In general, closer shots are always better than wider shots.

- Using a tripod will keep your shots more stable and your video more enjoyable to watch.

Consider hiring someone to record your footage if you are unable to do it yourself or contact your local cable company and ask if you could possibly acquire some footage they may have used in a previous broadcast.

You may also obtain high quality video footage by asking your head coach for game, practice or showcase footage. If your high school doesn't have quality films call your opponents and ask to buy their film, sometimes they'll loan or even give it to you. When putting together a scholastic recruiting video to impress coaches think ESPN Plays of the Week and put the best plays first.

We accept a few different video formats to incorporate into your scholarship recruiting video. 
- VHS Tapes
- Standard DVD's
- Mini "Camcorder" DVD's (Please ensure to "FINALIZE" all DVD's and Mini DVD's).

We prefer to work from the original video for quality, but we can also use footage from copies.

College coaches receive tons of video footage from high school athletes. They simply do not have the time to view hours of video on each prospect. Coaches prefer a collection of short highlight reels to determine if you are a good match. If you are, they will often request a full game video.

            How to Create your Personal Profile..

Video footage alone will not make an impression on college coaches. You must provide factual information about yourself to give the coach more insight on who you are and how to contact you. We list your personal information within your highlight video itself, on the actual DVD face and on the DVD case (Please note that ALL personal information will not fit on the DVD face and case.)

Include the following facts, be careful not to embellish any information:
- Personal and parental contact information: names, addresses, phone numbers and emails.
- High school, address and phone number.
- Coach and Guidance counselor's phone numbers and email addresses.
- Age, weight, height, class and jersey number.
- GPA, Class Rank, SAT and/or ACT scores if available.
- Academic and service achievements and honors.
- Statistical accomplishments.(CLICK HERE TO VIEW STATISTICAL SUGGESTIONS BY SPORT AND POSITION)
