FRC 2630 - 2008 Season - Epic Video

[Leav]

OK OK... i'm not supposed to say that my team's video is epic... but it is, so HA! :D

You can catch it here! :ahh: (Do smilies work in URLs?) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XvKNEjPW50)

If your team doesn't have a season-recap video, it's a good idea to make one. it helps your team recruit new students, mentors and sponsors by showing them the real build season.
In this case a picture is indeed worth a thousand words..

Also, I think it helps get support from your school if you show this at some teacher meeting. it helps show the teachers that you are working hard and that some slack is well deserved :rolleyes:

Enjoy! (we did)

I have a higher quality video if anyone is interested.

Great job on the video. Good use of music and I'm glad it wasn't just a standard, throw a new picture in every X seconds and pic a song kind of video. You did a good job editing.

I have to agree about making recap videos, we didnt really have many pictures from our build season this year, but instead, had tons of pics from competition. I made a 10 minute video for 269 in 2007 recaping both the build season and the competition season and I think people really enjoyed it. It was a great gift to sponsors as well.

matching the pictures to the music is always good!

Thanks guys!

just to clerify: I didn't edit this video together... our "Arm Driver", Gal, did it.

He really put a lot of effort into it and I agree that he really managed to build the momentum and keep with the rhythem very well.. *thumbs up to Gal*
(I especially like the evolution of the ball launching mechanism :) )

A gift to the sponsors is a great idea! *breaks out CD spindle*

Great video, where did you get that music? Season re-cap videos are always great idea for everything from potential sponsors to recruitment and can also just be a fun time. Good job!

It's a mix of the Halo theme (machjholnir mix.. something like that... :rolleyes: )
