The Roy Jones Jr commercial was
shot during a professional boxing fight event outside of the Sunset Casino. I
was hired as a videographer to get footage at ringside before and during the
fight. The event was about four hours due to disruption of rain. I was camera b
during the recording of the fight. The fight took place September 20th,
2014.
The commercial
consisted of a 30 second montage of the fight that took place during the event
along with Roy Jones asking the audience, “Do you have the heart of a
champion?” It took several revisions before the edit was considered screen
lock.
Once
the commercial was in screen lock, I recorded a voice over to complete the
final touches it was missing. I then mixed in Roy Jones Jr’s voice over, along
with the voice over I recorded, and his mp3 song called “Heart of a Champion”
into an appropriate level.
Overall,
this was another great learning experience. Being able to work with celebrities
and film ringside was an opportunity I could not let pass me. I obtained this
position from a last minute phone call asking if I can fill in as a
videographer because the first man couldn’t make it. Ever since then, I have
been receiving calls to do simple camera work.
