How did you divvy up responsibilities? What was sort of each person's main responsibility, and how much were you crafting the story of the video as those days were happening? I mean, it's, it's a condensed event, right? It's like four jam-packed days versus, "Hey, let's just capture as much as we can here and we'll storyboard this later."

Yeah, so basically, um, I kind of, I was basically the point guard where I was kind of telling them, like, you know, th- this was their first ever tennis event, and these guys had never covered a tennis event, um, before.

So it's, tennis, especially college tennis, has its own, you know, knowing where to be when is just like if you're a fan that's never been there before, it's kind of hard to know where to be when, um, 'cause it's like where is the momentum, where's kind of the big points gonna be happening? So it definitely, that part took probably a day or so of match play to kind of get the hang of for these guys, 'cause it was like, you know, and it's like if I'm not constantly texting the group chat, I'm like, "Hey, this court's leading towards a set point here, or match point, or a break point," or, "Energy's good over here," and the point that the point play is super good over here, you know.

Um, that's a constant communication that we had going on in our group chat, but I had a goal.
12:07
I was like, "Guys, we gotta get down there for practice today." I was super adamant that we had to be down there on the 13th.
12:11
Um-For practice day, because I knew that's where we could get the players and the coaches in a just, they're just looser.
12:17
They're just, the vibes are more chill.
