He was a competitive lacrosse player living in San Francisco who suddenly found himself cooped up and quarantining at home. <\/p>\n<p id=\"OtsTs7\">So, a little bit bored and uncertain how to spend his time, he began editing NBA clips from YouTube and playing around with video editing softwares. <\/p>\n<p id=\"IeK9WA\">\u201cI started to teach myself, and just very quickly fell in love with it,\u201d Duchon told CelticsBlog.<\/p>\n<p id=\"SruchU\">Fast forward four years, and what was once a pandemic-era hobby has become a fast-growing career. As a video producer for the Boston Celtics, Gage Duchon is now creating some of the most compelling video content in all of sports. <\/p>\n<div id=\"FQpDgr\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">moments \u2022 in \u2022 between <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IfCDUFHrA0\">pic.twitter.com\/IfCDUFHrA0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Boston Celtics (@celtics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/celtics\/status\/1725295341673525277?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 16, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"DMKhJh\">It all happened so fast. In 2022, Duchon began to shoot videos for the men\u2019s basketball team at Northeastern University, where he was studying communications and media studies. Then, he took a chance and applied for a digital content production internship with the Celtics, an experience that recently turned into a season-long job. <\/p>\n<p id=\"AQiZzm\">For Duchon, filming and editing compelling videos is a way to tell stories about a sport he\u2019s long cherished. <\/p>\n<p id=\"yPwKKV\">\u201cMy first motivation is my love for creation and this art form,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t see myself as a content creator, I see myself as an aspiring filmmaker, editor, and director. Being able to tell stories and do it in a unique way, and use my voice through video \u2013 it\u2019s really my childlike passion.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"v4xBgr\">The Celtics fan base has celebrated these videos all season long, frequently flooding the replies with comments that praise the \u201c<em>media team\u2019s historic run<\/em>\u201d and parallel the digital production team\u2019s online excellence to the Celtics\u2019 on-court dominance. Some of the fans have figured out that Gage Duchon is the creator behind some of the team\u2019s most viral content, while others praise the media team more broadly, speculating which artist is responsible for the latest innovative approach. <\/p>\n<p id=\"6TNtjx\">\u201cI can\u2019t even put it into words how much these fans care about this stuff,\u201d Duchon said. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy to me, seeing so many comments. People reached out to me personally about the video \u2013 they\u2019re not even talking about the team, or the players, they\u2019re talking about how cool the video is. I have a very strong appreciation for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"cTsCnb\">His job entails a lot more than just turning a creative vision into a viral masterpiece \u2013 Duchon has plenty of other less exciting responsibilities that include filming every pregame and postgame pressers and helping other photographers and videographers by going through their footage throughout the game. <\/p>\n<p id=\"rcRTUk\">\u201cMy game days are super hectic,\u201d Duchon said. \u201cI\u2019m trying to find time to shoot on my end. I shoot everything, I just roam around in the stands and find places I can shoot from, but then I\u2019m also labeling footage, swapping SD cards, managing to shoot the pressers before and after.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"7UZ6Mt\">His Celtics content has gone viral on a number of occasions this season. Most recently, he shot and edited a video showcasing a sequence of baskets from Sunday\u2019s historic win against the Warriors \u2013 a video that amassed 7 million videos in its first nine hours on Twitter alone. <\/p>\n<div id=\"D0DCFy\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">nonstop buckets   <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hkgXABYFfJ\">pic.twitter.com\/hkgXABYFfJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Boston Celtics (@celtics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/celtics\/status\/1765014529451159585?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 5, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"yyzMlG\">That masterpiece tells the story of a Celtics team that took a franchise-best 44-point lead into halftime against an opponent that eliminated them on their home floor just two days earlier. It highlighted a number of Jaylen Brown baskets from his 19-point first quarter explosion. That run held particular significance given that the Warriors game-planned to leave Brown open on the perimeter, a decision that Brown said postgame felt \u201ca little disrespectful.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"qt2hmX\">The wheels started to turn during the game, and in total, the video took Duchon about six hours to edit: \u201cI had the idea mapped out in my head, and during the pressers, in between pressers, I was bringing out my laptop and pulling clips into my editing timeline and getting them prepared.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"BpM5V7\">He typically uses his own video footage for these videos, and films from TD Garden\u2019s 9th floor during games, situated within the rowdiest of balcony fans, who he describes as extremely passionate. It\u2019s in those moments \u2014 when he\u2019s filming, immersed in the crowd \u2014 when it strikes him that at their core, the fans and players are inherently similar. <\/p>\n<p id=\"hee1u8\">\u201cThe players are all just completely normal guys who are really good at something, but they\u2019re just totally normal, nice people,\u201d he said. He hasn\u2019t yet gotten to know many of the Celtics players on a personal level, but did note that Oshae Brissett \u2013 who\u2019s also a filmmaker and has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@brissytv7447\">YouTube channel<\/a> chronicling his NBA adventures \u2013 recently stopped him after a game to ask him questions about his camera. It was a moment that felt a bit surreal, though he\u2019s now grown used to seeing the players on such a regular basis. <\/p>\n<p id=\"BW84mO\">Duchon wasn\u2019t always a Celtics fan; he grew up in San Francisco and was in 7th grade when this Warriors core won their 2015 championship. In fact, he credits Steph Curry and Klay Thompson for making him fall in love with the sport, and got to cover a Warriors game at Chase Center because the trip aligned with his winter break in December.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"491VPz\">\u201cBut I\u2019m definitely a huge Celtics fan now,\u201d he said, laughing. \u201cIt\u2019s been a funny transformation, to become a part of not just the organization, but the fanbase as well.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"VTnBkq\">As a video producer, Gage reports to Sam Crocker and Matt Carney, who respectively serve as the Director and Manager of Digital Content Production.<\/p>\n<p id=\"wicdbR\">\u201cI owe those guys a lot,\u201d Duchon said. \u201c\u2019I\u2019ve never really worked a job before this, but [they\u2019re] super awesome people to work with. I could not be more grateful \u2013 just coming to work is so fun, and the people I\u2019m around. It makes it even better than what it already is.\u201d <\/p>\n<div id=\"2rm14X\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We got the whole court covered \u2b50\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>Send our starting five to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NBAAllStar?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NBAAllStar<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mviC29vLQa\">https:\/\/t.co\/mviC29vLQa<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Og4xP8zqoP\">pic.twitter.com\/Og4xP8zqoP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Boston Celtics (@celtics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/celtics\/status\/1747619920186126545?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 17, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"7n3WxH\">Meanwhile, the fans have increasingly gone out of their way to credit Gage for his videos, a gesture that has caught him off guard but meant a lot. <\/p>\n<p id=\"KhglQP\">\u201cI don\u2019t ever go and try to take credit for something that I made, because it\u2019s my job,\u201d Duchon said. \u201cBut people are like \u2018oh this was Gage!\u2019 They\u2019re so nice about it. They really ride for their people. It\u2019s like nothing else, working in a sports team like this.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"ZqMc9p\">At the end of the day, he credits the Celtics players for giving him so much elite basketball and storylines to work with. After all, the 2024 team holds a +11.4 point differential \u2013 the 5th best differential in NBA history. They also have a striking 8-game lead for the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference standings. <\/p>\n<p id=\"TW9nwe\">In turn, putting together top-tier videos feels like the only way to do justice to the roster, and showcase the magic that\u2019s happening on the court. <\/p>\n<p id=\"lSeZXh\">\u201cThis Celtics team is insane,\u201d Duchon said. \u201cThere\u2019s a million stories to tell. Every player is doing something crazy, and the team is playing unbelievable. It\u2019s my job, but it feels like my duty to do the best I can to bring those stories to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"NMbLVe\">\n<p id=\"eWjWvq\">\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation
