Baseball player submission Instruction: Have someone hold your phone and shoot it with your phone turned sideways (not vertical) and frame it from your head to your toes. Provide your name and what position you play and how long you have played. For the action, look into the lens and pretend that is where you are watching the batter and you are in the field. If you are a pitcher, look into the lens like it is the catcher’s mitt and throw one pitch towards the lens without a ball. If you are a fielder, get ready like you would for the play as a shortstop, catcher, or outfielder and watch the pitch, then pretend to field the ball and throw it in. Then, set up as a hitter and look into the lens and take a swing like you would in a game. The entire audition should be under 30 seconds.Shoot Date: This shoots in Macon on the night of February 7 and will be an overnight shoot. If talent is not based in Macon, they will provide a hotel and $50 travel stipend. Travel stipend is for principal talent only.Rate: Principal session fee is for a 10-hour shoot.
