While in New Zealand, something inspired me to create some videos about all of the amazing soccer I was seeing.

As I wrote down ideas to cover, I fast realized that there was too much any one person could cover on their own. So, I set up my equipment, rearranged the outdoor furniture, and pressed record to create Off the Cuff.

Welcome to Off the Cuff! A collection of short videos by Gary Ploski, goalkeeper and WOSO fan, about the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Auckland, New Zealand and Sydney, Australia.

Going Solo

Everything you see and hear in the videos was done by me. I shot on two Canon cameras and used a lav. Editing was done in Final Cut Pro X.

  • Goakleepers
