Why Rugby Needs Photogrammetry

In the Rugby sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Photogrammetry delivers measurable results that transform how rugby professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Rugby

Rugby video production must convey the sport's unique combination of controlled violence, strategic complexity, and team camaraderie — elements that create deeply emotional content when captured well. The physical intensity demands multiple high-speed cameras to capture tackle impacts, scrum dynamics, and breakaway tries in detail that real-time viewing misses. Drone footage of training sessions provides the overhead tactical perspective that coaches use for pattern analysis and that fans find fascinating on social media. The cultural aspects of rugby — the haka, post-match handshakes, the third half in the clubhouse — provide rich storytelling material that distinguishes rugby content from other sports. French rugby (Top 14) is one of the most commercially successful domestic leagues in the world, with clubs investing 50,000 to 300,000 euros annually in video content. Grassroots club content budgets sit at 500-3,000 euros per season, focusing on recruitment, youth development showcases, and community engagement.

Video Challenges in Rugby

Capturing the Energy of Live Action

Sports fans consume 3x more video content than any other audience segment. 78% of sponsors now require professional highlight packages as part of partnership agreements. The challenge is capturing fast-paced, unpredictable action with broadcast-quality results.

Multi-camera coverage, slow-motion replay, and real-time graphics require specialized equipment and expertise. Each sport has unique filming requirements — from the wide aerial shots needed for football to the tight close-ups essential for boxing.

The rise of social media has created demand for immediate content delivery: highlights within minutes, not hours, of the final whistle.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Professional Football Club — Season Highlights

A Ligue 1 club implemented a full-season video strategy with match highlights, behind-the-scenes access, and player profiles. Social media engagement increased 285% and merchandise sales rose 34% driven by emotional video content.

Marathon Event Coverage

A major city marathon used drone coverage and multi-camera setups at key points. The recap video reached 5M views and sponsor visibility metrics exceeded targets by 180%.

Key Benefits for Rugby

Engagement & Revenue Impact

Professional sports video delivers massive engagement: slow-motion replays generate 4x more shares than standard footage, and behind-the-scenes content drives 67% higher fan loyalty scores.

For sports organizations, video content directly drives revenue through sponsorship activation, ticket sales, and merchandise. Clubs with strong video presence report 40% higher commercial revenue from digital channels.

Our Photogrammetry Process

Production Process

1. Pre-Production: Location scouting, shot list creation, equipment planning, talent coordination, permits, and schedule optimization.

2. Setup & Lighting: Professional lighting design (3-point, natural, or cinematic), audio setup with redundant recording, and camera rigging.

3. Filming: Multi-camera capture with cinema-grade equipment, real-time monitoring, and direction to ensure every shot serves the narrative.

4. Wrap & Delivery: Organized media backup, shot log documentation, and secure delivery of all raw footage to post-production.

What Makes Photogrammetry Unique

Photogrammetry captures physical objects or environments as detailed 3D models by processing hundreds of overlapping photographs taken from calculated angles. We use structured shooting patterns (turntable for objects, orbital paths for architecture) with calibrated cameras and controlled lighting to ensure consistent texture quality. Processing in RealityCapture or Meshroom produces textured meshes exportable as OBJ, FBX, or glTF for use in video compositing, AR experiences, game engines, or 3D printing. A small product scan takes 1 day (200-400 photos); a full room environment takes 2-3 days. This is distinct from LiDAR scanning in its photorealistic texture quality.

What You Receive

You receive: all raw footage on SSD/cloud, shot log with timecodes, audio files (WAV 24-bit), BTS photos, and production report.
