Table Tennis Wales Squad Training Diary

Starting my business in building trust and repertoire and to promote my business with the Table Tennis Association of Wales has been my goal for this project, I will use this Diary to update the situation.

I have contacts in Table Tennis so I was easily enough given work, I was asked to film the National squad training that happens once a month, from January to June. Ryan Jenkins who is Head Coach of Table Tennis Wales asked me to film his Squad Training, upload it to the Official YouTube channel which I created for them. Link below.

At the start of the year I also applied for an Internship in Japan to film the World Team Championships and be in charge of 3 streams, unfortunately I was unsuccessful.

The theme for this training video was finding the best and worst shots, whilst also at the same time try to find athletes that are not training as hard, messing around. Training sessions last 3 hours, with on average 10 tables to film with 2 people per Table, I have to film everyone equally enough and still get the theme into the video.

I immediately realised my limitations on the first day of shooting. As I was filming one table, I had seen something on another table that would have been beneficial for the video. I decided that I would need a crew and multiple cameras to get the training videos to the standard I wanted it, but with persistence I could still walk away with plenty of great footage.

The theme was "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" in terms of performance and shots.

Lighting have been a constant struggle within the building, I have yet to over come this problem, it might be unsolvable with the lack of equipment at the moment. Link Below

The theme for this session was to have a Top 5 shots which I successfully got.

At the end of the session I was approached by Lesley O'Connell who is apart of the committee for Table Tennis Wales, she offered my me to do a stream in June and future events for Table Tennis Wales.

I accepted the offer and I was successful in getting a client for my business. Link Below
