Behind the scenes from the FIRST HALF of the championship game in Running Point Season 2!!
One of the best parts about filming sports action is making sure the basketball tells the story JUST as much as the actors do. Every possession, reaction, mistake, and movement has to match the emotion of the scene.
In this game, the Waves were down 20, completely out of sync, frustrated, forcing shots, missing rotations, and struggling to find rhythm in a Game 7 championship atmosphere. We wanted the pressure and chaos to FEEL real on screen.
That’s why we spent several rehearsals working through every detail before filming. Huge shoutout to @crosscourt in Downtown LA for their amazing space to experiment, build the choreography, sharpen the skills, and bring the intensity to life.
What you’re about to watch is a split screen showing how the rehearsal matched the final edit from the show
And for everyone who’s been watching Running Point Seasons 1 & 2… THANK YOU for all the love!!
If you haven’t seen it yet… what are you waiting for?! Go fire up Netflix and binge it tonight

Side-by-side view from the set of Running Point
One angle from @katehudson POV.
One from mine.
Both watching @scottwmacarthur knock down a half-court shot that earned the entire cast and crew free ice cream.
Best believe the @gamechangingfilms crew enjoyed every second of that moment too.
Sometimes the best parts of production aren’t scripted.

Today’s the day.
Season 2 of Running Point just dropped on @netflix — go binge it.
The Game Changing Films crew @dallas2324 , @coachhpjr (yours truly), @melferg13 and @dragonmasterbri was back making sure the basketball felt real and came through the screen the right way.
Being back on set with Kate Hudson, Tony Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Brenda Song, and the rest of the cast was special. They really put the work in on the court and you’ll feel it when you watch.
That’s always the mission.
Make the basketball look right.
Feel right.
Be right.
And since Season 2 is officially out…
expect a lot more Game Changing Films × Running Point coming your way.

Behind the scenes on the set of 9-1-1 in 2024
Sports choreography is a lot more than drawing up plays.
On this one, @justinskinner08 was coordinating the football action — and @coachhpjr was there lending a hand to help bring the sequence together.
There are a lot of moving parts when sports meets television.
Precision.
Detail.
Timing.
Safety.
Every movement has to look authentic for the audience, while making sure the athletes and actors stay protected.
That’s the craft.
Working with directors, stunt teams, athletes, and camera crews to create sports action that feels real — not staged.
Because when it’s done right, the viewer doesn’t see the choreography.
They just believe the moment.
