The NFL Best Shots of 2010 is still some of the best sports film out there. I watched NFL Films when I was a kid and I am now convinced that the special blend of super tight cropping, slow motion replay and dramatic music helped making football into the national obsession that it is today. With the Super Bowl approaching, enjoy this smash mouth inspired short film.

Once, a long time ago, Kirk McKoy was an Orlando Sentinel photographer. but he’s been with the LA Times now for years and this is a really good behind-the-scenes video of a fashion shoot with Kirk. I like that the the video is really specific about technique while still emphasizing the shoot itself.
