As many of you have probably noticed, we've been recording more of our club meetings and events over the past year. The goal is to preserve our speakers' presentations and create a growing library of content that members can enjoy even if they couldn't attend in person.

I'd love to build a small media team so we're not relying on just one person behind the camera.

The biggest need is someone who can step in when I'm unavailable to record a monthly meeting or club event. This could include speaker presentations, auctions, swaps, bowl shows, workshops, and other HAAS activities. Beyond simply recording the presentation, it's also great to capture a few shots of members, vendors, fish, displays, and everything else that makes our events special.

You don't need to be a professional videographer. If you're comfortable using a phone or camera and have a good eye for what to film, that's more than enough. If you already have experience with photography or videography, even better, I'd love to learn from you too.

Having your own equipment is a plus, but it's not a requirement. I normally film with an older iPhone 13 mounted on a tripod with a wireless microphone. I also bring chargers, extension cords, and other accessories to keep everything running. If you have your own camera or video gear, that's fantastic, but today's smartphones are more than capable of producing great video.

Most of the time, this would only be for our monthly Saturday meetings, with occasional help at swaps, auctions, and other club events. I'll continue handling the editing, uploads, and social media, so your main role is simply capturing the footage.

If you've ever wanted to learn more about videography, help preserve our club's presentations, or just want to contribute behind the scenes, I'd love to hear from you.
