Talking Re: Team Videographers??

I have to say, I prefer macs for video editing, it seems to be the only thing worth doing on a mac... no offense anyone. I'm on the same team as jake, several posts above. for the past few years i've found that having more than one videographer on a team really helps the process. if you missed something, got a different angle, had part of your tape taped over...it helps to have a backup/alternative.

as for making the videos, it can be a bit confusing, especially if you use any program more difficult than imovie. good move using premiere, it can be very useful and advantageous to utilize a program with advanced features, like final cut pro.

another good move in starting at or before kickoff. there is so much material you can use if you just pick up a camera and start shooting. you never know when you're going to need a random shot of dean talking from a segway. another idea would be to get stock shots of people welding, grinding, sawing, machining, manufacturing, (videotaping), animating, anything that your team does.

when you go to produce your final movie, work from an overall theme. whether it's by chronology (build phase, regional, national) or by section (manufacturing, electronics, drive team) or anything else, it's a better idea to have a theme than a bunch of random shots thrown together. another helpful idea: use music! it's fun.

well that's about all i can contribute for now. i wish you all well in your video-oriented endeavours.

(i think there should be a video competition...)
