2008 Nationals Videos

[osu_buckeyes]

Hey guys,

I know there was some talk about this awhile ago in the nationals thread but I thought I would get the ball rolling and start a thread for posting any and all videos from the 2008 NCRHA National Championships.

I'll start everything off with Ohio State vs. Lindenwood. I also have footage from our games against UCI and Mizzou - Columbia that should be up in a couple days if I have time.

I have a slightly higher quality version as well that I could possibly bittorrent if people are interested... But the youtube quality actually wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be.

Also, please give me some feedback on the score overlay so I can modify it for the other 2 games if I need to. I think it gets in the way a little bit on some shots, but I don't really know if this outweighs the benefits.

Good work - you'd probably get by with a smaller overlay and school abbreviations with smaller logos (think FSN or something similar) - it'll block out less.

Yea, I think I will try that. Initially I wanted to make it kinda big because I wasn't sure how the youtube compression would affect smaller text, but it seems like it was scaled down fine.

why don't you just put it on filefront.com and just let people d/l it themselves? Use youtube as a secondary source

I considered a file-sharing site, but most of them have relatively low per-file size limits (<250 MB is most cases). The original files, even when compressed are about 1 GB per game so I can't share them easily that way. I could split them or compress them more, but that would pretty much nullify any benefits that exist over youtube.

My hat goes off to the guys at ISPN and Bill Courtland for the absolutely awesome video. Just got my national championship video in, and it was great. Easily the best camera work and best quality of sound and video editing of any NCRHA event I've been a part of. Great job, guys.
