Documentary
Overview
The Basement Yard Experience was a Sold Out International Tour lead by online superstars Joe Santagato and Frank Alvarez. The 2 Year run came to an epic conclusion: A sold out show at New York City's iconic Madison Square Garden. My role as Documentarian was to film the entirety of the day and capture raw emotional moments from the talent and team.
Challenges & Approach
Our schedule at Madison Square Garden was air-tight, with very little room for error. The biggest challenge of the day was finding the time to capture organic, emotional moments, and do so in a compelling way, while on such a strict timeframe. My personal relationship with the team allowed me to confidently pull talent for interviews, capture B-Roll, and ensure I was hitting essential story-beats for the Documentary.
The result
The final Documentary not only captures the gravity of the moment, but also transports the viewer into the headspace of the Basement Yard Team. The film successfully establishes the stakes, the brotherly bond the team shares, and provides a satisfying, yet bitter-sweet conclusion. As the tour's Video Content Producer, I have a personal connection with the team over the 2 Year stretch, and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to capture the "magic in a bottle" for the world to watch.
