[ZZII 527]

Sounds really cool. I'd love to tackle a full-length video next year; I've been doing just 5-minute highlight reels for teams 97 and 527 this year. (Each one got 10+ hours of prep. work/capturing/editing, so I can imagine a half-hour documentary would be a real big project.) It's a whole different story when you need to put together a feature from build season to regionals to nationals...but something that I think would be great to show off. I just discovered that my camera can shoot in 16:9 widescreen, so I may give that a try next year and aim for a real movie feel. Maybe FIRST should have a competition for highlight reels/documentaries and the winner gets shown at nationals...that would be neat. (The Chairman's Award video is close to this, I guess.) Of course I'd be disqualified since I'm no longer in high school...but I could enlist one of my team's HS kids who I would trust with my camera.

Team 97 hasn't finalized its plans for next year yet, but UTC is always a possibility for us since we are based in Boston...maybe we'll see you there. Good job again!
