Editing Cassidy Sanders (section)

== Paintball filmmaking ==

=== Early tournament videos ===

Sanders was producing paintball videos for HK Army by 2010.

Contemporary coverage from July 2010 credited him with an HK Army video documenting the PSP Chicago Open. The film formed part of the company's ongoing tournament video coverage.[5]

His work developed into a series of films featuring major American and international paintball events.

=== Filming and editing techniques ===

Sanders's films combined tournament action with footage of players and activities away from the playing field.

In his 2012 interview, Sanders discussed his use of digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras at a time when the technology was becoming increasingly accessible to independent filmmakers.[2]

His personal equipment included a Canon EOS 550D, also marketed as the Rebel T2i. He also used higher-end digital cinema cameras when available.

For his film covering the 2011 NPPL Las Vegas finale, HK Army rented a RED Epic camera to capture high-frame-rate footage for slow-motion sequences. The video was released in April 2012.[3]

Sanders also discussed the use of dubstep and electronic music in paintball videos. He explained that his familiarity with musicians producing dubstep had influenced his decision to use the genre in his work.[2]

=== International tournament coverage ===

Sanders travelled internationally to film paintball events.

In his 2012 interview, he recalled filming at a [[Millennium Series]] event in Paris, France, and visiting Norway during his European travels.[2]

His work covered both competitive action and the atmosphere surrounding international tournaments.
