How'd the opportunity come about?

As my son got more and more into videography and he kept developing his skills especially on the editing and production side, I thought it would be cool if he could spend a day with the 'pros' to see how they do it. I had messaged someone at CSEC earlier in the season and hadnt heard back for months before they finally reached me and asked if my son would be interested. They tied it into their Jr. Flames promotion on Family Day (where they have a youth singer for the anthems, a youth organist up with Willy Joosen and a Jr. announcer with the opening lineup announcements). They were not necessarily looking for a videographer but after they saw a few of my son's other videos thought it would be a neat tie-in. The Flames in-game production staff are seriously talented and they treated my son as an equal, not some kid they had to babysit.
I was really hoping he would get a chance to shoot for the Stampeders this season but that will have to wait.
