GTR we made it all three days and I just found out that on saturday 6pm they used one clip with shawn lim and in total 30 seconds made air.

The weather network on Friday aired a some video along with a bunch of earth hour clips.

It is really hard to get a copy of stuff that goes on air and one of the lessons I learned this year is to set up the DVD recorders next year and record at home.

I have been able to request a DVD copy of the saturday 6pm news with the shawn lim clip and as soon as I have it I will let you know.

I also have a fair bit of RAW un-edited B-roll from waterloo and GTR, nothing in any particular order but lots of vis of the fans, 781 and 1075? who had the most active cheering sections at WAT and GTR respectivly, and stuff from the pits.

Problem is it's all High quality broadcast grade video and that means huge files once i get it all onto my laptop but I suppose there is some software out there that will allow me to compress it a bit and I can make that available if you want it....via DVD, FTP if you have a server or maybe via yousendit.com.

I'll have to figure that out in the next few days, been doing 18 hour shifts back in the real world so right now there are discs, cables, laptops and god knows what else still lying all over the floor of my room....just the way it all landed when I came home from GTR and my earth hour shoot at IESO.

I'll figure something out and as soon at the Global library gets me that DVD I will let you know.

I'ts interesting how strict the librarians are, they let me watch the 30 second vo-clip but wouldn't close their eyes and let me copy it, have to follow proper procedure and wait my turn

I do have a fair bit of b-roll of 1075 as they were quite active in the stands and the coach looked fairly hyper behind the drive team and for news.....thats what were looking for.....excitment.

Too bad I had to leave early to rush the video back to global and missed the real excitement towards the end of the GTR, next year....I will plan differently, and bring maybe a few TB of external HD's with me to record "everything".

Mark,
that "active" Coach from 1075 is ME! and I'm dying to see the footage!! I'd be ever grateful if you could hook me up with anything you have! I was told the online news video had the 30 sec clip but it didn't.
I'm kind of shocked you are on the forums, are you FIRST Alum that happens to film for Global?

Thanks Mark!
