Sports Videography Demo Reel, 2025

www.mattkprovideo.com/2025/05/22/sports-videography-demo-reel-2025/

Some samples of my live sports videography from the past 5 years. I would like to make a video record of your live sporting event. I can do it on my own or as part of a team of camera operators.

I own my own 4K cameras (camcorders and DSLR’d) and my own editing equipment.

Some of this footage was show in HD (not 4K) but scaled up to 4K using Adobe After Effects’ “Detail preserve upscale).

I have since sold all my HD cameras and now shoot exclusively in 4K.

List of events included in this video reel:

Girls Soccer tournament, (Round Rock, Texas)

.8 Seconds: High School Football game (Duncanville High School Vs Mater Dei, Aug 27, 2021) Shot with a Canon Camcorder.

I love to shoot and edit hand to hand combat!
I co produced two “Ultimate Fighting: documentaries in the 2000’s : “Blood Sweat and Teeth” and its semi sequel: “Rage in the Cage”.” I shot with a BetaCam SP Camera, while other crewmembers were in the audience with handheld camcorders. I did all of the editing on an AVID Media Composer with a lot of elements created with Photoshop and After Effects.

“Rage in the Cage” on Daily Motion:

GAME OF DEATH needs to be remastered

 

Theres lots of older movies that get digitally remastered / enhanced “special editions.” And many new Hollywood hits use face replacement technology- to put stars faces onto stunt performers etc…

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_of_Death

When the greatest Asian Martial Arts star ever, Bruce Lee, died leaving his last film ” Game of  Death” unfinished, the producers TRIED to save the project with body doubles and awful 1970s face replacement technology:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bAdMrMxMm0

 

By todays standards, it is laughably bad.

I would like to suggest that whoever has the rights to the original master footage of Game of Death partners up with ILM or whoever and make a special edition.  Replace Lees face with state of the art CGI, clean up and remaster the rest of film, and maybe even make it 3D.

 

Now, I don’t think facial replacement technology is quite where it should be – yet. They’re getting closer to reality. Tarkin and Lei came close, but there is something inescapably difficult to capture about the human face that even the best efforts look a little…. goofy. I think Lee would be worth the effort.

 

Bruce Lee is still thought of as one the greatest movie stars in the world. I think a “new” 3D film starring the Legendary Bruce Lee would be a huge hit in Asia, America and most of the world.  They would more than make their money back and then some.

 

This is a whiskey commercial with a CGI Bruce Lee that comes REALLY close:
