Jomez Productions

[Flick Maniac]

Since the CCDG thread is so nice, I just thought this might be as well. If there is not one already? Search on "Jomez" for thread titles did not find a good one.

Anywhoo, talk about why you like Jomez so much. it would be cool if any of the crew are on here too, but I dont know. Jomez has really stepped up their game this year, again, with the graphics moreso than anything else.

Another thing, about which I am not sure if it always was that way, or am I just noticing it more, but I feel like in the Ledgestone videos there is more post-shot teepad chatter spliced in the mix. I would love even more but it might interfere with the commentary. In any case it makes the viewer feel more like being there.

There was one vid, not entirely sure by who, where McBeast was mic'd up the whole round, but somehow that felt a little tedious, as it was only his shots, and his POV all the time. I would love a whole video that is edited so that any good conversation is edited in.

I thought the McBeth mic'd up was on CCDG.

I think CCDG and Jomez are keeping each other on their toes right now and that's great for us! That Reid Frescura CSI Miami graphic was fun and I think they need to throw more of that kind of stuff in (sure they will!). Look back at anything shot a few years ago--the progression is incredible. I trust that Jomez has a gauge on the pulse and will keep pumping out great content as our tastes evolve.

Agreed on the teepad chatter. I'd love to see more of it. If you've ever been onsite for a big event, you know there's plenty of great content to film between the shots. BUT on the other hand, we're now used to the nicely packaged 30 minute 9 hole clips that turn over quickly. Messing with this formula will add a host of difficulties to getting us the product we want at the speed we expect.

For now, I'll enjoy marveling at the awesome quality Jomez is giving us at the DG budget they're forced to work with.

They could cut out the drone flyovers for every round after the first and fill it with teepad chatter. Most people already watched round 1 and know the hole they are about to show.

No. Much of that time is spent getting the camera ready for the next tee shot and the motion in that footage makes me sick. :gross:

Also, where are your stats on "most people"?

What do you mean? They only put the throws into the videos. This isn't live coverage.

 

[LateWesternSky]

Correct, I wasn't talking about live coverage.

Of course you need not include the video to get the audio.

In any case, the hole preview bit is something that I have been on the fence for ever. Especially in rounds 1+ you necessarily dont need to see it again (or with a classic course even in round 1) but it does give the commentators some time to mull stuff over. Although, they do tend to talk about the hole again, like its the first time seeing it. I say the best thing would be drone flyover with all the pertinent info in graphics* and let the commentary dwell on something else, other than "theres the fairway, then you see the OB there blah blah".

Its not really a big deal tho. I can always jump forward that bit on the video.

*here is a great example that has one thing over Jomez. distance markers. you could also overlay sweet spots and other HUD stuff on there.

I appreciate that Jomez works with CCDG, Smashboxx, SpinTV, everyone.
They obviously get along with Ian and Corey.
There's plenty of room for Jomez and CCDG and Smashboxx and SpinTV.
They have been paving the way for a few years now.
Sure beats watching Clash DVD's

 

[CourseMaintenance]

Great coverage. Great commentary (usually). And they don't shove a commercial down your throat every hole.
Anybody see the skit at the beginning of Ledgestone round 3? https://youtu.be/6vQrbDsJSFE
We need to pass the hat to get those guys on salary.

CCDG is great and I really appreciate all they do for our sport. However, Jomez is where it's at. Can't put my finger on a specific item that make Jomez better but it just seems like it is. Really wish they could cover everything.

For now, I really like the hole review on every round. Why? Because I use Jomez videos to show off tournaments to folks who may or may not be interesting in trying disc golf. No one is going to watch all the rounds of MPO especially if they aren't DG nerds like us. Besides, I usually only watch the last round of tourney coverage as it is so I personally love having the hole flyovers.

Idk, the drone fly-over thing can be redundant, but for some of us, we didn't watch R1. So watching R3 and seeing the course for the first time, it's a good thing to have. I guess it's like a tee sign: Do I really need to see a map of the hole every time I step up to the tee? No, but the group of newbs behind me might.

 

[Moseley]

Jomez is on top atm, love the overall great camera work and editing, shot trackers and other little touches, and love nate esp as a commentator.
An improvement I'd really like would be shot maps after the hole is played, like par save productions do here, eg. at 3.36. It's not always easy to understand where the discs end up just from video and commentary so that's really informative.

 

[Flick Maniac]

Hey wow! Havent watched any of theirs yet but now I sure am going to. Great idea. Also the throw 1,2,3,4 graphic is pretty nice. Sometimes you can get confused as to how many their are in, especially if scrambling badly in the thickets.

 

[rocthecourse]

I would like to see Jomez make more videos in the off season. Even if they are just fun videos like pros playing 1 disc rounds or best shot mixed doubles.

I would also like to see Jomez get lead card coverage at every tournament. Last I checked Jomez's second card coverage was getting more views than CCDG's lead card coverage.

 

[Jkosk]

Those shot maps are a very time-consuming thing to record and map for each player, each hole. Which is exactly why PSP doesn't do 24 hour turnarounds on videos. It's a nice touch, and something that separates PSP from JMP and CCDG, but the latter turn around 24 hour event videos for us, which is HUGE.

It might be fun little touch to add to content like Champs vs. Chumps (for CCDG) or other videos that either JMP/CCDG aren't trying to get out within 24 hours, though.

 

[DoWork]

Jomez is the sole reason (ok and the other channels too) that DG is gaining as much exposure as it is. Putting a professional face and format on this sport gives it an air of officiality it was lacking before.

Also huge props to Nate Sexton, who is a class act and is a PERFECT ambassador. Well spoken, insightful and good sense of humor that is BALANCED so it makes it fun without being overdone or seem like trying too hard.

Amazing job and it just keeps getting better every day. Cheers to the whole Jomez production crew and their families!

I just finished watching JMP coverage of MVP Open at Maple Hill.....great job fellas, commentary and coverage...
I enjoy the flyovers during the first round, especially on courses I have not thrown....not so much on the other rounds, but I get why it is done, so I can live with it...perhaps skip the flyovers on the 2nd round only....or every other round

When I am seeking out DG video to watch, I tend to gravitate towards Jomez videos, although I have watched the other guys as well, Nate and Jerm are a good duo for commentary...I have a friend here in MS that has a son out in Kansas, the son went to watch Ledgestone, and specifically mentioned the guys from Jomez, and how good a job they did at getting the footage AND not being a huge distraction to the players...keep up the good work...

 

[Flick Maniac]

I gotta admit that after a few videos where it was Nate and somebody else, and then now hearing him and Jerm again, while they do have some good banter too, it just reminded me that Jerm is not always my favorite to listen to.

Side note regarding video coverage: It was cute/funny at first, but the AJ and gang drone dances or whatever are past their prime.
