This was just my second time filming in a professional sports venue – Arco Arena, home of the Sacramento Kings (my first time was during the previous round of play, a couple days prior). That made the prospect a little intimidating, but it was also an exciting atmosphere.

This was a definite example of an event that completely caught me off guard. I arrived at what I thought would be a small tournament to see more than 100 people and dozens of competitors, and the video was much more exciting because of it.
