  • Basketball is where I live — I played for over 20 years, so when I'm on the sideline I'm not just watching the game, I'm reading it. That said, I'm open to other sports. If your team plays it and you want it documented the right way, reach out and let's talk.

  • San Diego is home base. I cover all of Southern California. So whether you're in SD, Orange County, the Inland Empire, or LA, I can get there.

  • No. Most videographers park at halfcourt and follow the ball. I move. Before tip-off, I'm already looking for the moments nobody else is pointed at — the player sitting alone with their headphones in, the coach drawing up a play, the bench losing it after a big run. The game is more than its highlights. The coverage should be too.

  • Item descriptioI'm always in person. I film everything myself. The camera on the sideline is me. That's where the work starts.n

  • You can start with a single game. I also offer multi-game packages if you want consistent coverage across a season and the per-game rate goes down the more games you commit to.

  • A professionally edited highlight reel with custom sound design — built from the ground up, not a template. Every edit I deliver includes custom SFX and audio design. Sound is half the work. You'll hear the difference.

  • Yes. If there's a play, a moment, or a sequence you want in the video, tell me. I'll work it in. That said, I'll always give you my honest read on what serves the overall story. Sometimes the moment you remember isn't the one the camera loved, and I'll let you know.

  • I post finished reels to Instagram so they're immediately shareable. You can tag your athlete, share it with coaches, send it to family. I also send the edited file directly to you so you have it for your own use, whether that's uploading to a recruiting profile or keeping it forever.

  • It depends on the scope of the project. A single-game highlight reel takes less time than a season recap with VFX work. I give a realistic timeline before we start so you're not left guessing. If you have a deadline — a recruiting submission, a signing day — tell me up front and I'll build around it.

  • I cover your games and deliver content your program can actually use — for recruiting, community, and recognition. One call or message is all it takes to get started. I'll come to a game, you'll see what the work looks like, and we go from there. Reach out at contact form or DM me on Instagram @d.real.media and we'll figure out the details.

  • College coaches watch a lot of video. Generic highlight reels blend together. What I try to deliver is footage that shows who your athlete actually is — not just the best plays, but the composure, the effort, the moments between the moments that tell a coach what kind of player they're getting. That's what makes a tape worth watching twice.

  • All of them. Youth leagues, high school, college, adult rec — if there's a game and a story worth telling, I'm in. The level doesn't change what the work is about. Every athlete, at every age, is at the beginning of something.

  • Two ways — whichever works for you:

    Tell me the sport, the level, how many games you're thinking, and whether there's a specific event or timeline I should know about. I'll get back to you fast.

  • Schedule a consultation call. It's the fastest way to figure out if we're a good fit — no forms to fill out, no guessing.
