Athletics

NEW: RL-Films is currently seeking sponsorships for athletic events: parent groups, sportsbooster clubs, school boards, and private companies can book our appearance at an athletic contest at our standard rate of $300 and we’ll include your logo at both the beginning and end of the 10-15 minute video! Show your support for your community and let us take care of the rest!

RL-Films can provide traditional sports photography at all levels of competition. Our images prioritize sharpness. We’ll often shoot with prime lenses indoors to boost our ability to freeze the action and use the latest in AI software for noise reduction. And rather than setting up shop at one location on the field, we’re not above sprinting on the sidelines to get to where we need to be to capture the best action for you. We’re athletes serving athletes.

Athlete or Parent Rates: $150 for one game of coverage, 10 specially edited photos.

We are also available to yearbook and newspaper services.

RL-Films specializes in game recaps that are usually 8-15 minutes long. (Instagram Reels cap out at 15 minutes.) They can be horizontal for YouTube but some of the most dynamic content formatted vertically for tablets and phones, where the motion is tracked and often reframed — by hand — for maximum visual impact.

We feature highlights in ultra slow-motion with a cranked shutter speed so every bit of detail is preserved, even when events are slowed down to a mere 10% of real time. We can accomplish this at even a 12x zoom range (600mm).

If none of that means anything to you, great! That’s fine! But there’s no way to do what we do without a love and understanding of the latest technology and how it all works together, even when it means running at a 6:00 mile pace with a 10lb camera rig in hand.

This combination of gear, know how, and dogged persistence is what separates us from our competition and will put your event far above anything shot with even the latest camcorder or smartphone. See for yourself in our 2023 Highlight Trailer!

Our standard introductory rate for a game is $300. We’ll arrive, film, edit (two-day turnaround), and release the footage to you on a USB drive upon payment.
