So, welcome back, third time in a week, this is the biggest time game of the season,
so hopefully it'll be very exciting, the weather's right on our side as usual I don't think.
So, am I showing you?
So it's just like, I mean it's gonna be such a, it could either be hit or miss,
like if they score 1-0 it's gonna be, if it works it works, if it doesn't it doesn't,
so it's just like trying to shoot the action in a different way.
Okay, position wise?
Probably also a great point for over his manager side, up high, watching Pep as well.
Might be, yeah, John, yeah, yeah.
Right, so we've got main shot on blue, Lex, tunnel, me, off the bus, Isaac,
that kind of low angle follow, you know, you know the one, that shot.
Walk out behind players is me, team entry with the mascots is Isaac, use your drill please.
Please note, team entry is a minute earlier due to applause for Sir Howard Bernstein,
who's passed away and Mosaic was unveiled yesterday, so there'll be a tribute to him.
Can we please, goes without, you know, obviously short enough games,
can we please make sure we capture this well, the applause?
I think for me, considering the size of the game, that brief's pretty straightforward.
All right, don't forget to speak to them, say hello,
you're my favourite, you can do any of that, all right?
All right, we'll see you in a few minutes, okay?
You take one step that way, one step, half a step, ready?
Hey guys, thank you very much, thank you, that's great.
where you just know he's going to score, it's that kind of like West Ham finish that he did
in one of the first games. Yeah, I got the goal, you hope he's going to come,
but we've got Isaac over there, we've got another photographer up there,
so we would have got it. Yeah, it's really good, these fans are so amazing by idea,
so you always like to turn, if the celebration goes the other way,
there's always something to capture, so yeah, really good start.
I said the goal needed an early, the game needed an early goal, so we got it.
It's one of those where it's like, it's a similar way to play Liverpool,
you can just feel the level of the game, 2-1 down, which is frustrating, but red card at
the end, I think it sets up a really exciting second half, so fingers crossed,
yeah, should be good, should be good, I hope.
Yeah, everybody's moved, so obviously we attacked that side first half, so everybody's moved,
we've got photographers high, low, all over the place, just covering different angles.
So today, I was quite lucky, as Harlan celebrated his 100th goal straight in front of me,
so in this situation, our cameras will do 20 frames a second, so we take 20 pictures a second,
so I'll hold down the shutter, and then in the end, we've got a lovely sequence
of Harlan running at me, it was quite nice, Bernardo celebrating towards the fans,
and then I think one of the fans threw a scarf on the pitch, it was quite nice of Harlan
holding that up. I think my favourite frame, as he's running, is this one,
so that's probably his best picture of the whole sequence,
and this one as well, quite like, as he waves the scarf around.
Right, game's done, that was a bit of a crazy game, with a last-minute equaliser, but it really
felt like a big, titanic battle, which was really good. How did you find it, Isaac?
Yeah, it was good, a lot of tackles in, so it made our life a lot more fun,
catching all the big tackles, it was nice that Harlan ran my way, sorry Tom,
but yeah, he ran my way for his 100th goal, which was nice to capture,
him and Bernardo went crazy in my corner. You did a slightly different role to normal,
you were up top, and capturing some really cool angles, more fan-focused, you did really well,
how did you find it? It was good, I thought it was a girl, she needed to get something different,
the idea was to shoot through the eyes of what the fans see, so I was amongst the fans,
it was a little bit mental when John scored, but yeah, it was good, I appreciate giving them
the chance to be creative and see what happens. Would have been great if Erling ran my way, but
next time, and your way. No, it was good, I think I enjoyed the game, it was very physical,
like Isaac said, saw a lot to capture there, goal celebrations I didn't go so well,
I think one of the freelancers in our team was on the pep spot, and it was a really interesting
game to capture, could see so much was going on over there, wasn't our most, you know,
you can only shoot what happens in front of you, it was our most outstanding game with loads going
on, so those celebrations, but at the same time, I think we're very happy as a team to put out a
good set, aren't we, I think, so yeah. Let's see some really super creative angles here,
love that, straight on with the fans, big fans, Isaac, should we go down to celebrations,
is that where you want to go? That's it, just below. Yeah, so,
absolutely blast in his way down to your corner, with my sad face in the background.
Yeah, exactly, that was quite nice when the fan threw his scarf on as well.
Yeah, that was cool, that was cool, so, yeah, happy with that. To me, probably,
I mean, I captured the goal pretty well, which, you know, considering it's quite a historic goal,
was nice to capture, and then, like I said, generally, it was just lots of action, there's
the goal. Did you get the coin toss? I did get the coin toss, yeah, something a bit different,
so that was nice, and some nice bits pre-match, well, no, I enjoyed my pre-match, I think you
guys, did you guys enjoy it? Yeah, it's good. Yeah, no, I think generally, and also, worth saying
that we had a photographer, John, on Pep's spot, and that was a really cool spot for getting some
really amazing shots, so he definitely delivered some absolutely amazing pictures of the manager
celebrating both our goals.
