Yeah, my biggest consideration was to show the foot speed and range, so that's why I was trying to shoot with a wide angle, but I will redo it.

 

What I don't like about the videos from the established outfits is that they seem to only emphasize arm, versus I think that range, footwork, and glove are what I need to highlight with my kid. 

 

It seems like you need a whole crew of people to get maximum quality--one to shoot, one to take the throw, and one to hit.
