New FIRST promo video featuring Morgan Freeman

[ChuckDickerson]

For those of you that weren't able to attend the 2011 Championships and didn't get to see it, they showed a new FIRST promo video during the finals narrated by Morgan Freeman. I though it was pretty good and may be useful in your team's recruting, etc. It has a lot of the same rehashed footage from previous FIRST promo videos but at least they used the voice of God this time.

Here's the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1QyM9WTF18

I absolutely love how during the final ceremonies and awards, Dean Kamen commented on how no other organization was as large as first, because we had the "voice of God" with us.

Thanks for posting the link. I was looking for this an couldn't find it. I'm using it at a demonstration event tomorrow.

Wow, really well done and a variety of footage, going all the way back to 2005. Nice job Mr. Lazarus.

The 2004 2-vs-2 game with the overhead rack full of purple balls, First Frenzy, is shown as well.

So hey, will we eventually be able to find this video in downloadable format on the FIRST website?

I hope! If we don't, I'm going to have to rip it off youtube and that leaves something to be desired in quality.

Really? I played youtube the MP4 version at 1280x720. It looks great. What are you using to capture youtube stuff?
