Don't forget about Fort Awards!

Re: PNW District Highlight Videos
 

LOL, I have photos that I'll post later. That was hilarious.

Re: PNW District Highlight Videos
 

You guys were awesome. Fort awards was pretty funny looking- for those of you wondering, this was what they had to do to hide the AV people during Awards because it could be seen from the audience behind them (two sided event).

You have been providing the best video feeds from any district or regional.
Keep up the great work you make the FIRST family proud.

Re: PNW District Highlight Videos
 

Thanks for posting this. I think I may have left a SD card somewhere or they were on one of our CF cards. If we look around we may find some photos of the crew working on awards with just the glow of the computer screens on their face. It was amazing how quickly we set that up.

I think Nicolas has photos from inside the fort. You should ask him for them.

Re: PNW District Highlight Videos
 

I found them. ah the wonders of not realizing that everything is out of focus.

Re: PNW District Highlight Videos
 

Wow. Just wow. As media lead for 1523 I can say that any one of those videos beats the productions FIRST puts on at champs and regionals. You do have some incredable gear as well that cant hurt. Im going to put our team to work on a South Florida Regional version. My current gear:
T3i
60d (i hope)
Sony dslr
2 gopros
Flycam nano
70-200 f2.8 L IS
28-135 f3.5-5.6 IS
14 f2.8
50 f1.4
Several mics
Misc mounting hardware and tripods.

Slightly jelous of the 5d, steadycam and 16-35 L.

Re: PNW District Highlight Videos
 

That 14 2.8 though. I don't actually own the 5D though. I own the 60D, 24-105, and the 70-200 mk II(beast lens that beats the older versions). The 16-35, imo and those of review sites, is not very good. Canon seriously can't make good wide angle lenses. Nikon's 14-24 is beast, but Nikon...

I can't wait to see how you guys take your own take on the idea of a FIRST Highlight Reel. We focus on people more than robots, but other videos I have seen give a more balanced video.

Is there a video for Spokane?

Re: PNW District Highlight Videos
 

No, I am in Issaquah so there was no way for me to make it out to Spokane. Instead I got to go to Mt. Vernon.

I am one of the few that pushes for the highlight video to be made at each event. Others being Trevor (Snapshot), who helps me out as an editor whenever he isn't doing his work as Technical Director, and Jansen, a guy that sometimes comes as media coordinator. I wish I could go to every event or atleast have someone from my team be at every event to push something, anything, out there. I can't make it to Week 6 because I don't have a ride there and back, but I have yet to fail to put out a highlight reel for the events I have gone to. 4 done and 3 more to go. I'm including Worlds because I'm hopeful that my team will pull it off.

2014 Auburn District Event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bObJ...Gx0zZh8kaETJ9A

I had to edit this one by myself, so I'm not entirely happy with it. I will probably end up pick up the footage and re-editing it because our footage was absolutely beautiful, but there was such little time for me to edit that it was insane to go through 300 clips. Also I'm not a big fan of the music in this one. Too slow and doesn't pick up until near the end of the video.

Now for the reason for such amazing footage. My mentor got something this week that is absolutely killer. It beats steadicams for ease of use and consistency in steady footage. It is called the MOVI M5. If you would like to take a look at it full potential watch this: http://vimeo.com/63357898

Re: PNW District Highlight Videos
 

Will there be a highlight video for Central Washington?

Re: PNW District Highlight Videos
 

When will the highlight video from Portland be available?

Re: PNW District Highlight Videos
 

Actually, yes there is one. It was made by someone else. We were short on decent footage, though, so it's not too great. I'll see if I can upload it later.
