Basketball Highlight: White Station – Arlington Play Days

I thought it would be cool to get a little creative for the first #MGBB Mix of the 2015-16 High School basketball season. The #MGBB Mix are highlight videos that I create of players around the Memphis area and post on www.MemphisGirlsBasketball.com. The highlights I create are about 2-4 minutes long. I really didn’t have an idea of how long this one would be but it came out to a little over 9 minutes.

So on November 7, I spent all day at the gyms of White Station and Arlington high schools recording footage from their play days. Because it was so much footage, it took me 2 weeks to edit. I had a general idea of what I wanted to create. Then of course, I had to make some adjustments to the ideas. It was a lot of work. A lot of long hours. However, I’m happy that I decided to try something different.

 

My “Awful” Sketch Comes to Life

“The people that was laughing saw an ugly picture.. I saw something totally different.”

A few weeks ago, I posted a “not so good” sketch of an idea that I had for my MemphisGirlsBasketball.com site. I had posted the sketch on Facebook and so many people laughed at the sketch. But the funny thing is — The people that was laughing saw an ugly picture.. I saw something totally different.

Here is the sketch:

This is what I was visualizing as I was drawing the sketch. (These are two pictures that I took during my Fall Exposure League)
