Watch Veronica Emily Walkosz's journey to the state triple jump competition in this inspiring training film! See her hard work and dedication pay off in her incredible jumps and training highlights. If you're a track and field fan or just in need of some motivation, this video is a must-watch!

When you have an athlete that works so hard and goes out of their way to improve their skills, you have to capture them on film. This young lady drives a long distance just for coaching out of her desire to improve her skills and make it to the State finals in the Triple Jump. I think she will succeed.

What makes Veronica so much joy to work with is not only her work ethic, but that she is having fun the entire time. It was challenging to get her to look serious for some of the shots, because she is always smiling. So, I thought, "so what? Let me just capture her fun personality while filming her."

The challenge with this shoot was that we had to do it while she was training, and I shot with two different cameras., a Lumix S5 in V-Log and an Insta360 One X3. Next time I need to use the X3 in a flat profile so that the color matching could be much better.

I found Capcut to be more than up to the task and am continuously surprised with the capabilities of this software. While I understand the power of Premier Pro and After Effects, Capcut was more than able for this type of project. Unless I want to do some great motion graphics or overlays or VFX, I think for the VFX in Capcut, it did great.
