Redwolf Sports Media creates professional highlight and recruiting films for high-school athletes. We work across lacrosse, soccer, football, ice hockey, field hockey, volleyball, basketball, baseball, water polo and more.

Every film is built so a coach understands the athlete quickly. That means professional editing, color correction, reframing and zooming where it helps, an animated introduction, and our motion-tracking player spotlight that keeps a coach’s eye on your athlete through the play.

Yes. Projects are managed entirely online, so we can work with families anywhere as long as the footage can be uploaded, shared or accessed online.

Send a project request. Once your project is created you’ll get access to the Redwolf portal, where you enter athlete information, provide footage details, upload media and track the project from first draft to delivery.

A parent or legal guardian. Athletes are welcome to explore the service and take part in the project, but a parent or guardian needs to be involved for setup, scheduling, payment and final delivery.

Absolutely, and you’ll be part of the work: identifying highlights, choosing music, uploading photos and reviewing drafts. To open a project and receive pricing or delivery details, have a parent or guardian submit the request or take part in setup.

Standard highlight-film packages start at $249 and include up to 15 professionally edited clips.

Up to 15 edited clips, professional assembly and editing, color correction, reframing and zooming where appropriate, player spotlighting, an animated intro sequence, and the full draft-and-feedback process through the Redwolf portal.

Additional edited clips are $10 each beyond the first 15. Most families land between 15 and 20 clips, and we’ll usually talk you out of going much past that — a tight film gets watched all the way through and a long one doesn’t.

Clarity Boost is an optional AI-assisted enhancement for footage that is blurry, soft, pixelated or otherwise lower quality. It is $6 per clip, and we recommend it only where the source footage is likely to benefit.

No. Clarity Boost can make footage clearer and more usable, but it cannot recreate image detail the camera never captured. We recommend it only where it will genuinely improve the final film, and we’ll tell you when it isn’t worth the money.

Yes. Once we’ve reviewed your footage we identify the clips that may benefit and explain the recommendation before any optional enhancement is applied.

Yes. A vertical, mobile-friendly cut is available as an add-on at $60, or $50 when it’s added to the project up front. It’s formatted for portrait viewing so it fills more of the screen on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

Our standard service is built around complete film projects rather than individual clip work. If you have a specific need, submit a project request and we’ll tell you whether an exception makes sense.

No payment is required up front. We invoice when the project is complete, and payment is due before the final files are released. Venmo is our preferred payment method at this time.

Full-game footage, tournament footage, school or club footage, phone-recorded clips, and clips you’ve already created. Footage can live on Hudl, Veo, NLV, YouTube, Vimeo, SportsRecruits, IMCLA, GameChanger, Pixellot, LiveBarn and similar services.

Usually, yes. Add the source details, direct game links and timestamps inside the Redwolf portal. If access requires a login, authorize that access through the project workflow.

Usually no. The preferred approach is for you to identify the game and the approximate timestamp of each strong moment. We then pull the clips directly from the source footage wherever possible, which preserves the best available quality.

The game or opponent, the approximate timestamp, what happened, the athlete’s jersey color and number, and a direct link to that specific game when possible.

Yes. Phone-recorded sideline footage and clips you already have can be uploaded through the Redwolf portal. Include a short note explaining the play and identifying the athlete — and shoot landscape rather than portrait whenever you can.

Original source footage is usually far better than a phone screen recording or a re-exported clip. Screen recordings can dramatically reduce resolution and leave the final film looking soft or pixelated. Working from the source gives us the best chance at a clear result.

Yes, when you authorize it. You can provide credentials through the project process, or create a separate access account where the footage platform allows one. Some services require a temporary verification code during login, which we’d need you to pass along.

Some automated camera systems record a very wide view of the field and then crop or digitally zoom toward the action. If an athlete is far from the camera, the original footage may not contain enough detail for a sharp close-up. Clarity Boost can help in some cases.

Yes. Highlight finding is available as an optional service billed at $35 per hour. The total depends on how much game footage has to be reviewed and how easily the relevant moments can be identified.

No. The standard package includes professionally pulling and editing the clips you identify through timestamps or uploads. Full-game review to find those moments is a separate hourly service.

Around 15 is usually the sweet spot. Ten is generally the practical minimum for telling a complete story, and 20 is normally the upper end before the film becomes harder for a busy coach to watch.

We focus on the athlete’s story rather than an arbitrary runtime. A strong set of roughly 10–20 clips usually lands in an appropriate recruiting-film length without adding filler.

Yes, if it’s relevant and shows the athlete well. For recruiting, prioritize recent and strong material — but older clips can fill an important gap when newer footage doesn’t show a particular skill.

We review the project information and footage, pull the selected clips, and provide a first draft with the clips numbered. You choose the order you want and give us your feedback. We then apply the full edit, share revised drafts, and keep refining until the project is ready for final delivery.

No. Focus first on identifying the strongest clips. The initial draft numbers each clip so you can easily tell us which should come first, second and so on. Most families find it far easier to decide after seeing all the clips together.

Professional assembly and editing, color correction, reframing and zooming where appropriate, player spotlighting, and an animated intro sequence.

A motion-tracking marker that follows the athlete through a play, helping a coach identify and keep track of them in crowded action. For positions such as goalkeeper we use it more selectively, since the athlete is already easy to identify.

Yes. The Redwolf portal includes a YouTube-based search tool so you can choose the music for your project.

Yes. You can upload an athlete photo for the introduction, plus additional photos where they suit the style of the project.

Once your project is open, post all draft notes, revision requests and project feedback inside the Redwolf portal. Keeping feedback in one place is what stops comments getting missed and keeps the project moving.

For active projects, please use the Redwolf portal for all project communication and draft feedback. The portal keeps every comment attached to the right project and the right draft.

Most films are completed within 3 to 5 days of receiving your content. When we’re carrying a heavy workload it can stretch to 5 to 10 days, and we’ll tell you up front where you sit. Turnaround depends on the amount and condition of the footage, the current production queue, and how quickly feedback comes back.

No. Production begins once we have the project information, footage access or uploads, and the highlight details we need to start editing.

If you have a showcase, prospect day, recruiting deadline or other time-sensitive event, include that date in your request. We’ll confirm whether the timeline can be accommodated rather than promise a date we can’t hold.

The project stays available in the portal, but the completion date depends on timely review. Once we’ve provided a draft, the next production step begins when your feedback arrives.

You receive a downloadable final video file, suitable for uploading to a recruiting profile or sharing as you need.

Yes. If you provide authorized access, we’ll upload the finished film directly to the recruiting profile as a white-glove service.

Unless you ask us not to, a portfolio version may be uploaded to the Redwolf YouTube channel. Any phone numbers and email addresses shown in the film are blurred in that version for privacy. If you’d rather it wasn’t posted at all, just say so.

For recruiting, use the downloadable file and your recruiting profile, such as SportsRecruits or IMCLA. The YouTube version is useful for sharing with family, friends and social audiences, but contact information is deliberately obscured there.

A complete, compelling story: the athlete’s core skills, their best strengths, and quality moments against good competition. It should not be a random collection of plays, or only the moments when the athlete touches the ball.

College coaches want to see more than the final action. Starting earlier shows positioning, field awareness, decision-making, off-ball movement and how the athlete reads the play — which is what they’re actually evaluating.

Many athletes benefit from an updated film after meaningful seasons or milestones — often once after a school season and again after a club season. A new film also gives the athlete a fresh reason to update coaches with recent content.

It may be technically possible, but a newly edited film is usually more useful. Coaches are unlikely to rewatch an old video hunting for a few new moments; a fresh film creates a clearer reason to reach out again.

No. A film is one part of an athlete’s recruiting effort. Our goal is to present the athlete’s strongest, clearest footage in a professional format that makes them easier for a coach to evaluate.
