Sports Videography
St. Albert

For university recruitment at ACAC and USports programs in Alberta, the optimal highlight reel length is 3–5 minutes. Coaches and scouts typically receive dozens or hundreds of reels during a recruitment cycle — they rarely watch anything beyond the 4–5 minute mark. More importantly, the most critical moment is the first 10 seconds: if you don't have coaches' attention immediately, they move on. We structure every BOMCAS Media highlight reel to open with the athlete's single best clip, then build a compelling narrative of skill and character through the remainder. We include contact information, jersey number, team name, and position at the beginning so evaluators have context immediately.

Yes — our season-long game coverage programs are specifically designed for this purpose. We'll attend a specified number of games throughout your season (typically 8–15 games depending on the package), capturing comprehensive footage at each. At the end of the season or at a specified point (often mid-season for recruitment timing), we compile the best moments from all attended games into a professional highlight reel. This approach also means you have full-game footage for coaching review throughout the season, in addition to the final highlight product.

Yes — our sports videography team has experience working inside both Jarome Iginla Arena's four ice sheets and Servus Place's facilities. We know the optimal camera positions for game coverage at each surface, understand the lighting conditions and how to compensate for arena lighting challenges, and are familiar with the venue access protocols for St. Albert Minor Hockey Association, St. Albert Raiders, and other resident programs. We always coordinate with venue management in advance to ensure our camera setup complies with facility policies.

For full game footage (raw, minimally processed), we typically deliver within 3–5 business days of the game. For edited highlight reels (which involve selection, colour grading, graphics, music, and multiple rounds of review), our standard turnaround is 2–3 weeks from the final game attended or from receipt of source footage. Rush turnaround (7–10 business days for highlight reels) is available for an additional fee — important for athletes facing scholarship application deadlines or recruitment windows. We discuss turnaround requirements upfront so we can build delivery into your recruitment timeline.

Yes — our licensed drone operators can provide aerial coverage for outdoor sporting events in St. Albert, subject to Transport Canada regulations and venue/association authorization. Drone footage from above a soccer pitch or football field provides coaching-valuable formation and positional analysis that's impossible to capture from ground level. We handle all permitting and follow SFOC/advanced operations requirements. We always coordinate with the venue, opposing team, and any relevant association to ensure drone operation is approved and safely executed. Weather is also a factor — we build weather contingency windows into all drone sports bookings.

Absolutely — our post-production and video editing services are available standalone for athletes who have already accumulated raw game footage from parent cameras, arena cameras, or existing club videography. You can submit your footage files (we accept all common formats) and our editors will review all material, select the strongest clips, and produce a professional highlight reel with graphics, player ID, colour grading, licensed music, and formatting for all major recruiting platforms. This is often the most cost-effective path to a high-quality recruitment reel for athletes who've been playing for several seasons and have years of footage to draw from.
