We used both approaches. We needed something fast and dirty before a big showcase, so it was filmed by Mom on her Android.
The next one, we used a service. It has better images, and better editing. DD doesn't like it as much - says it makes her look like it's hiding something because it's edited. In our homemade version, we tried to leave it as uncut as possible.
Have received views and comments from both - and actually have kept both up in case coaches have linked to them.
For fun, we also put a video of her doing 15 pullups on her 15th birthday. We have actually heard college coaches comment about coming to see, "the pullup girl." That was 30 seconds and cost zero.
So go figure.
Pull ups!!! That is amazing!!LMAO I though i was the only crazy one i guess not!!hahahaha My DD will love to hear this she is a workout maniac!!!
