2009 Greater Toronto Regional

A file called 2008_GTR Broll is now uploading to the 781 server, it will be on there in full by 1am (Kincardine time), it's only 2.6G and it's a .wmv file, what I did here was take all my 2008 GTR Broll and drag it onto the timeline and render it down to this small 2.6G file, have a look, see if you like it and what the quality is like and if good I suppose I can FTP the higher quality .avi files up later towards the weekend. The original collection of files is not small so I thought I'd send up this preview file first and that will buy me enough time to get some work done on the wiring and UPS system here before I let the next 30G go and can't touch the system for 3 days

The 2008 GTR Broll files and making their way up now, the first one is a compressed .wmv of the whole lot and then the higher quality .avi's are making their way up one by one.

The technical quality of the 2008 stuff is not quite as good as the 2009 video but that's a lot in part due to three firmware upgrades since then for the camera I am using. It's not too bad though.

the gtr was so intense for waldo this year! we are really happy that we made it to the finals

good job to everyone else!

Just an update here on the RAW .AVI's, ALL of the 2009 GTR and WAT stuff in up on the 781 server and the last of the 2008 GTR stuff should be up on there by 12 midnight tonight.

I feel sorry for whoever might be shot-listing all the 2008 stuff

Next year I will try to make a point of shooting at least five min of each team in the pits, field, stands etc, I had no clue there would be this much demand for this video especially since for news I don't really shoot each match through to completion, I am just looking for good pictures and jumping on to the next shot.

I'll also look into recording the production company's feed as well.

Team 781's FTP solution just made everything so much easier this year, thanks a lot for that.

Who knows, maybe by next year I will have my own FTP server if I figure out how to set one up and all that, there is a lot I'd like to do better for next year in terms of shooting style as well.

If anyone has any comments, suggestions etc feel free to post, I shoot news and severe weather all year so this is quite different and I'm sure there is room for improvement so if anyone has something they'd like to see for next year by all means suggest it.

As for any more "snowdays" this year for downloading and working with this video I believe winter is now over, I sent the snow end command and it was received so with the exception of the traditional flurries on the May 24 weekend it's over for this year. (famous last words)

Can we can get who ever is in charge of the GTR videos to put them up on TBA. For both '08 & '09.

Thanks if somebody is able to do this and for the videos already posted.

There was no official videos made. If there are any teams that copied the feed It would be great if a copy could be made available.
