"I've done football, baseball, hockey and even poker. Paintball is the most complicated sport to cover television wise. With other sports you have a focal point, there is one ball traveling around. You don't have to worry about the entire field. Every player is a focal point and it's very tricky to nail the right shots. You need to plan your coverage - how you allocate cameras and the shooting space." -Paul Goldberg
Adam Gardner of Smart Parts assisted Goldberg and the director in the production trailer, showing them how to anticipate paintball moves to direct camera operators to the right place at the right time.
