The way wrestlers watch wrestling to learn how to perform better in the ring is the same way I watch indy wrestling, to get better techniques and make everything I do look better. I pride myself on being a damn good professional wrestling cameraman/editor. What annoys me is that there are so many indy feds that could be so much better if they would just get someone who knows what the hell they are doing when it comes to recording the match. Here’s a couple words of advice for you all.
If you are around the ring, you can’t watch the match like a fan. You have to try to be one step ahead of the action so that the wrestlers in the ring are always the focal point of what you are capturing.
Set up a hard cam just in case you miss a shot. Refs will always ruin a good shot. It happens all the time. It’s their job to be right on top of the action and they don’t (nor should they) care about where you are. A hard cam not only ensures you get the move that you missed, but also prevents that weird “run around the post” shot.
This one is VERY important folks. STOP OVERUSING THE ZOOM! The only time I use my zoom is if I am on the other side of the ring or there is a submission hold and I want to get the agony on the face of the wrestler in the hold. Other than that, I just move the camera closer. It’s that easy.
Record the entrances! Follow them around the ring and get all that shit. Let the wrestlers personality shine through that because they may not be getting time on the mic. That 15-20 seconds of their entrance can make them look better to your audience, not to mention let them know who they are. So record it and include it in the match.
Try to keep the ropes out of the shot. I normally keep the camera between either the 2nd and 3rd ropes or between the 3rd rope and canvas. Which ever is easier for you.
Now I’m in no way an expert, but I have learned a thing or two about recording wrestling and I know what I’m talking about. Just check out the matches on my YouTube page (link in my bio) to let me know if I’m right or wrong.
