PROJECT OVERVIEW
Beverly Boy Productions partnered with The Drill League LLC to produce a dynamic promotional video for the Oklahoma Drill Champ competition. The project required a specialized Miami promotional video production approach that could capture the fast-paced, high-energy nature of competitive drilling. Our team deployed a four-person crew with advanced camera and drone equipment to document the competition from multiple angles and perspectives.
The challenge with sports and competition videography is balancing technical precision with the ability to capture authentic moments of intensity and skill. Our crew worked to deliver a final product that showcases the competition’s energy while maintaining professional production quality throughout.
WHY GEAR CHOICE MATTERS
Production Need | Gear Choice Used | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
Capturing cinematic action footage | Two Sony FX9s with Cinema Lens Package | The FX9 is a professional cinema camera that delivers exceptional image quality and color grading flexibility. Dual FX9s allow simultaneous capture from multiple angles, critical for fast-moving competition footage where repositioning is not always possible. Cinema lenses provide the optical quality and shallow depth of field that elevates promotional content above standard videography. |
Dynamic movement during action | Sony FX3 on Gimbal | A gimbal-mounted camera follows action smoothly without the jitter of handheld footage. The FX3 is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for gimbal work while maintaining the image quality needed for professional promotional videos. This setup captures fluid movement through the competition space. |
Aerial perspective and drone coverage | Indoor Drone Operator + Drone Package | Drone footage provides a unique vantage point that standard cameras cannot achieve, especially in indoor competition environments. An experienced drone operator ensures safe, smooth aerial shots that add production value and visual interest to the final video. Aerial coverage is particularly valuable for Miami promotional video production where showcasing scale and environment adds impact. |
Secondary coverage and flexibility | Osmo Camera Package | The Osmo provides additional camera coverage for backup shots and alternative angles. It offers flexibility in capturing moments that the primary cameras might miss, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the competition. |
Professional audio and technical support | Producer and Technical Crew | A dedicated producer manages the production workflow and coordinates with the client. The operator and drone operator handle their specialized equipment, allowing the DP to focus on creative decisions and visual storytelling. This crew structure ensures nothing is missed during the live competition. |
When producing promotional videos for competitive events, gear choices directly impact the final product’s perceived value and professionalism. The combination of cinema cameras, gimbal stabilization, and drone coverage creates a polished, dynamic video that reflects well on both the competition and the production company.

A PRACTICAL NOTE ON COMPETITION VIDEOGRAPHY
Shooting promotional content for competitive events requires adaptability and precision. The crew must anticipate action, position cameras strategically, and maintain focus on capturing the most compelling moments while the competition unfolds in real time. Indoor drone operations add an additional layer of complexity, requiring coordination with venue management and careful flight planning to ensure safety and optimal footage. The combination of traditional multi-camera coverage and aerial perspectives creates a final product that captures both the detail and the scale of the competition.
