Often when I read these article on my computer, the first time through the gif plays in slo-mo, I assume because the page hasn't fully-loaded the gif yet. And then the second time it plays, it goes normal speed. The trip through the dugout is almost better in slo-mo because you really get to take in all of the different characters and the excitement.
Another great story, sam-- reminding us of the greatness of baseball AND goodfellas. but how do the networks control for language? there must be some loud off-color comments happening during shot.
Great piece and great camera work. A Guardian fan at the game is probably too elated to even notice, but does it spoil the in-person experience somewhat to have the camera operator on the infield like that?
I don't think it would spoil anything. I spent a lot of time looking out for the camera guy in other shots and it's usually pretty innocuous. If you notice him at all on the field I think it adds to the charm of the moment, the sense of celebration. And really he kinda just looks like an umpire down there.

Great piece!
My favorite scene in Goodfellas! Bravo for referencing it! The high point of Henry Hill in the movie before the long bloody drug-filled descent.

Absolutely no control; anything goes.
More long shots! Great piece!
This is fantastic. Thank you.
What a read! Thanks Sam
