Minors, consent and the running order, settled with the organizer first.
A club, league or school books the day; the players never deal with you. StudioCue's sports brief asks the organizer the questions that matter when children are in front of the camera, and your crew arrive on one schedule.
The brief goes to the club, league or school: who's the primary contact, who meets you at the venue, when to arrive, the running order and the wet-weather plan.
One accountable organizer
Venue, arrival and running order
Wet-weather plan in writing
Minors and consent, asked up front
Before the day, the organizer says whether anyone under 18 will be photographed and confirms they hold photography consent for every participant — and lists anyone who must not appear.
Under-18s asked about, not assumed
Consent confirmed by the organizer
A do-not-photograph list, in writing
Nothing about players you don't need
Participants never get accounts, never receive messages from you, and nothing in StudioCue recognizes faces. You deal with the organizer; the players are simply the people on the teams list.
No participant accounts
No messaging to participants
No facial recognition
Teams and groups, planned for
The brief takes a headcount and the teams or groups to photograph separately, so coverage is planned from the actual day rather than worked out at the venue.
Headcount up front
Teams listed individually
Coverage sized before you arrive
A workflow for organizer-led jobs
No couple, so no client questionnaire step: a sports job runs on the contract, confirmed contacts, an approved schedule, accepted crew and confirmed locations — and reads ready only when those are done.
Only the steps a sports job needs
Each one shown with what it's waiting on
Nothing marked ready on a click
Several photographers, one schedule
Offer coverage down your ranked crew list until each role is filled. Everyone shoots from the same current run of show and confirms they've read it; a change asks them again.
