[TBA/FIRSTCast] Kickoff Coverage 2007 Posted!

[Michelle Celio]

I'm downloading it now...all 170+ megs.

I'll leave comments after I'm done watching.

I'm sure you guys did a wonderful job.

Comments

Lighting is a little dark at first but I doubt that was changeable.

I loved when you guys ran in, it was funny and then all the people filling in that was cool.

When interviewing the Connie Crawford it seems as if Greg's voice is more right speaker and hers is more left speaker.

Again when interviewing Paul Gudonis I have the speaker alternation. Jeff and Greg seem to be on the left one and Paul on the right.

"You have inner tubes that are very squishy and they go on like this!" - My favorite line in the whole episode

Question: For reference in height of the rack...how tall is Tom?

Black screen after Tom says "I believe that's what it called" and then it cuts to Greg. I'm guessing editing error.

"Robots are gonna drop it too becuase I dropped it" - Second favorite quote

I think I see Elgin? When you're going over the bungee cords

I like how you "recreate" the game hint. I was sort of hopeing for that

Overall great episode, especially with the time conditions.

YES! This is what I have been waiting for all day... Its hard to see what moves and what doesn't and stuff from looking at the images in the PDF... Awesome guys!

EDIT: After watching, this video is very informative on the field elements. Like how much the "rack" will move, how the bungee chords are positioned in the chute, etc... AWESOME!

Grats. Honestly I was excited. I am not a big FIRSTCast person but I did listen to the interviews and I was impressed. That and the pumbing thing were pretty informative. I have been looking forward to this. Thanks for the hard work.

You have Gregs audio feed playing on the right speaker and the guest on the left. Instead of playing them on both. It gets annoying in a way. Maybe dont do it in the future. Good episode though. It tunred out nice, espesially in the amount of time you had.

[Joe Matt]

I'm posting it to the FIRSTcast feed now (so you guys will get it automatically).

Horray for sneaking in the shot.

I'll post the behind the scenes look of The Blue Alliance & FIRST Cast going behind the scenes of Kickoff 2007 I was filming as I was walking by when I get a chance to convert/compress and then upload it somewhere.

After personally seeing just how much work these guys put into their video, I have a big apprecation for seeing the final video. Producing such a great, very informative and well structured video in such a short amount of time takes a lot of skill and dedication.

I really think you guys do an awesome job and truly care about the spirit of FIRST.

Keep up the good work

because youtube only allows 10 minute videos without out a directors account it will not be on youtube. however it is currently being prepared for posting on Google video.

[Greg Marra]

The Google Video version of the video is online. Now you don't even need to download anything to watch. Click here to watch the episode on Google Video, or visit our page to download higher quality versions.

LOVE IT!

I downloaded the iPod version before it hit google video, and in the middle of the interview with Paul Gudonis, i got a very LOUD beep, and from then on the audio was off.

Otherwise, it's awesome. I can't wait to show the team on monday, so they get more of an idea of how the rack moves.

[MercBenzAMG]

Yay! i saw myself, haha. well, because i saw the part i was in (I was the long-haired kid describing the map in the beginning), i shouldnt comment on that. but great job on teh rest of the video, very informative, very well editted, and great footage. but as for the speaker channel problem.. yeah, its something to fix for the next video you put out. again, great job :-D

(and just wait til you see the map we have for nationals ;-) )

You are right! They do.
Not really. Especially not while editing the Gudonis segment.
