David and Chris started out their coverage of the game by capturing the teams warming up. They alternated between using a specialty camera that captured game footage and sideline emotions at high speed and a camera that focused solely on game footage with real time feedback to the XFL. 

All of the pre-game warmup and the actual game was filmed on a Sony F5 camera. On the A-cam, they used 17-200mm lens. For their specialty lens that captured slow motion shots, they switched between 18-55mm Fuji lenses and 70-200 Canon L Series lenses. Go To Team Houston, Washington D.C., and New York Crew | XFL Opening Weekend

They were capturing all of the best highlights from all four games and in order to be able to capture all of the action, they filmed on the shoulder during all of the games. 

It was a great opening weekend for the XFL and Go To Team’s video camera crews loved getting to be a part of the action! We look forward to working with you guys during the rest of a great season.
