Eastern Football Netball League Filming Requirements

The Eastern Football League chooses to engage LKLM Media for all filming of the Leagues games.

Some things you need to be aware of on the day of filming.

ALL Filmed games:

DRIVES & FOOTAGE​

  • We will No long er transfer to Club drives on the day - the process for us uploading for rapid turn around is quick enough that most footage is available Online later in the evening.  Allowing our operators to leave early rather than impeding them by copying footage at the ground allows that process to occur quicker.

POWER & LOCATION

  • It is Your responsibility to provide a Safe, Stable and comfortable area for the Camera Operator to work in – this includes providing a marquee in the event of inclement weather, and in the case of elevation, this must NOT be unstable, such as a table or packing crates. Whilst we understand that in the environment we are working the following may be difficult to achieve we would prefer that the area being filmed from is also smoke and alcohol free, and should also be in a spot where large crowds are not going to be likely to obscure our view or interfere with equipment, or have the potential to knock us or the equipment over, etc.

  • The above point also extends to the general behaviour of the crowd, visa vee language and attitude towards the operator – it should also be noted that Audio is recorded on footage which when uploaded to the footage hub is accessible by the league and indeed at a public level.

  • Where possible we will require an appropriate power source for some cameramen – Not all will need it, but some may – below is a general list we have put together of where we know we have successfully filmed games from in the past, if you have a better option which is still safe and covers our requirements by all means we can discuss further.
