Slow-mo Baseball Action for WebGem Glove Care

Everything looks great in slow-mo. But especially gritty action sports photography with a bunch of hard-nosed, serious ball players.

WebGem Glove Care recently tasked Expressions in Video with producing this gorgeous commercial (and a shorter :30 version), shot at the Dell Diamond (home of the Round Rock Express) with a handful of real players. Another in a long series of guerrilla Co-produced/Co-directed Jeff Stolhand /Zane Rutledge productions, this one DP’d by Andrew Barrera and his Red Epic, this spot has so much pretty material to choose from we could probably cut three more commercials.

Credit ZaneFX for color-correction and some little special effects here and there. (Yes: that shot of the batter knocking the snot out of that ball… the ball is digital. You don’t think we were going to take a chance with Drew’s expensive Red camera, do you? …And yes, the catch at the wall too.)
