Re: Team 195 Championship Video Wrap Up

Several video thoughts:

1) There are a very few video-sharing web sites out there; unlike the tons of "photo-sharing" sites. Very few of the video sites will allow you to upload a file more than about 8mb. So, try to keep your short movies very "short" or just teasers, or upload in multiple chapters

2) Our team photo-sharing (rollingthunder.smugmug.com) also allows you to upload videos, but they have to be in MPEG-1 format and very short. Their service to do this is about $30/year. If a team really needs a place to "park" a video and then link to it, I can put a few more videos on our site.

3) There is a company in the U.K. that offers free online video storage, but it's mostly for people who use Pinnacle Studio for their editing (much easier than Adobe etc but still very powerful). Visit www.Romskye.co.uk to find out more.

4) Lastly, I liked the video done by Tom Bottiglieri. The real trick now is to do a "educational" video using the same footage, but adding voice-overs and simpler music. That's the sign of a good producer......
