Looking to start filming a Documentary

[jh0e]

My vision for this film is for it to document the life of a competitive gamer while following the travels of a young man who has the hope of becoming the next big online gaming superstar. The film will follow his travels around the country to different LAN events and online practice time which goes in to preparations. During his travels he will encounter struggles that may just ruin his dreams...

Any helpful tips, and support would be greatly appreciated

As always - GET THE SOUND RIGHT.

Poor sound has killed more otherwise solid projects than any other technical reason.

Your project will only look as good as it sounds, because
"Sound is half of the experience."

Thank you for your advice, and I agree sound is key

It is especially important that you get it right when you are out in the field. Unlike narrative filmmaking you cannot reshoot, and you cannot ADR.

true, and with this film I will be in very tough places to film, a room with upwards of 1500-2000 people cheering for a team playing a video game on a huge projection screen with sound blasting from it..it will be a difficult venture.
