Quick answer

What is a game day photography workflow?

A game day photography workflow is how a team's photos get from the photographer's camera to its social media channels, website and partners while the game is still news. It covers upload, selection, branding and posting. Selection is usually the slowest step, and it's the one FilterPixel does automatically.

UploadPhotographers send frames as they shoot.
SelectThe best frame of every burst, kept automatically.
PostBranded selects in the posting hub, ready to share.

FAQ

Game day photography FAQ

Most team workflows combine ingest and captioning in a tool such as Photo Mechanic, a team DAM such as PhotoShelter for Brands, and a posting or athlete-content platform such as Greenfly. FilterPixel fills the gap between ingest and posting: DeepCull picks the best frame of every burst as photos upload. It does not integrate with those tools today, so photos move the way you move files now.

During a game, the slow part is choosing, not slider edits. DeepCull picks the best frame of each burst and applies one consistent look, then the social team posts from the hub. Editing apps such as Lightroom still suit hero images after the final whistle.

By cutting the selection step. Photographers upload as they shoot, DeepCull keeps the best frame of every burst, and the social team posts from a short, curated set in the live posting hub instead of scrolling every frame.

It groups near-identical frames and scores each one on six criteria, each with a reason, including sharpness and closed eyes. The strongest frame in each burst is kept, and blur and near-duplicates are dropped.

Yes. Selects appear in the same live posting hub used at events as photos upload, so the team can share in one tap or download while the game is still on.

Yes. Your logo, sponsor frames and watermark are added to shared photos automatically, and the report counts photos delivered, shares and brand impressions.

Player tagging by jersey number and roster is coming soon. Ask about it when you book a demo.

Not today. Photos can be downloaded and shared, so they can go into your DAM, athlete sharing platform or team app the way you move files now.

It replaces the manual cull. Photo Mechanic is built for fast ingest, captions and uploads, with photographers picking keepers by hand. DeepCull does the picking automatically. See our Photo Mechanic alternative page.

DeepCull has a dedicated sports model built for fast action and burst shooting. Book a demo with photos from your own sport to see the selects it keeps.

Up to 10,000 photos per event.

Yes. Automatic selection matters most when one or two people cover many sports. The photographer uploads, DeepCull culls, and whoever runs social posts from the hub.

No. Photographers upload from their usual kit and connection, and photos can be downloaded and shared to any channel. Connectivity at each venue is checked during setup.

Terms are agreed in writing, based on your sports, games and photographers. Book a demo to scope it.
