GoPro Shoots Basketball Video at Serra

In October, a film crew from GoPro shot a basketball practice in Serra's Morton Family Gymnasium. The shoot was arranged by Lonie Paxton, former teammate of Serra alumnus Tom Brady '95. Paxton contacted Athletic Director Dean Ayoob  '92 and Head Football Coach Patrick Walsh to use the gym to test their HD HERO3+® camera and accessories line. The video has more than 200,000 views on YouTube.

 

"It was pretty cool to have the video shot here," Ayoob said. "It showcases how technology brings sports alive with different camera angles."

 

GoPro is an American brand of high-definition personal cameras, often used in extreme action video photography. The cameras are known for being lightweight, rugged and mountable in unusual places such as outside planes, cars, or boats. The company that develops, manufactures and markets the cameras and equipment is Woodman Labs, based in San Mateo.
