Pro-Tip: Budgets on professional sports shoots that include a large cast and uniforms can run pretty high, but they don’t have to if you can cheat themes by shooting tighter angles and limiting your cast to a few principal actors.

Casting Considerations: Race diversity. Real athletes will play an important role in the success of your shoot.

Before You Shoot:
• Please check what content already exists in the Pond5 marketplace
• Think about a visual approach that will result in new and fresh footage

Submission Checklist:
• Remember to tag your clips with the keyword code: PROFBBALLP5BRIEF
• Have all property and model releases filled out and submitted
• No logos or brands may be visible in any of the clips
• Don’t forget to add any applicable conceptual keywords
