BIRTH OF A STORM EPISODE 2: The First Practice

Jeff Stein sent me a preview of Episode 2 of New England Hurricane's highly successful and popular documentary on the rebuilding process of the team. The first episode was a huge success as it was watched by almost 25,000 viewers gathering a huge following across the paintball world.

Thus Episode 2: The First Practice has been highly anticipated by Hurricanes and paintball fans across the world. In Episode 2 the new guys who were picked up in the selection process from the first episode went up against local teams from New England.



We get to watch the process of getting together for practice and the teams grinding it out over 3 matches. In the first Match the Hurricanes’ new team took it to the locals but in the second match the locals stepped up and beat the over confidant Hurricanes who were getting cocky and sloppy because they won match 1 with relative ease. Watch what happens in the final round after the teams regrouped and Jeff Stein has a word with the team.



The 10 minute long Birth of a Storm Episode 2 is scheduled for official release on the 25th of April. 25 fans from the Hurricanes Facebook have been given the opportunity to watch it on 3 days ago on the 20th.

Thank you Jeff Stein for the preview.

Birth of a Storm pt1

While most every pro team have been picking up pros from other teams, The New England Hurricanes are rebuilding their team basically from scratch.

This documentary gives us fan a rare insight into the rebeginnings of a pro team from the east. Its a great down to earth film with interviews of some of the hopefulls - some guys who have traveled as far as New Mexico for the tryouts.

Birth of a Storm has the reality show element which is close to what the guys on Unknown Soldier did a couple of years ago. I am not a big fan of reality series but I really love watching this and I look forward to the coming episodes.

Shooting a paintball documentary like this is certainly a great idea as the power of the internet will give the Hurricanes some exposure to reconnect with their fans and also an opportunity to gain some new fans which is important when you want to rebuild a team with guys who are relatively unknown.

If you compare the scene in California where all the big names live around each other - it much easier to hook up and pick up a pro. Where as over in the east - there is of course less pros in the area so practically every guy they pick up would be a relative unknown.

This will be interesting to paintball fans as every paintballer will relate and live their dreams in each of the guys who came out to tryout for a spot on the New England Hurricanes.

Jeff Stein – I know you read my blog I applaud you in doing this and rebuilding the team and I wish you and the Hurricanes all the best and I will be following the teams progress closely.
