Never say die

Junior Lynx Day Clinic

One of my first attempts with Windows Movie Maker. I’m pretty happy with the result, although if I never hear “Centrefield” again it will be too soon. I tried some other songs because initially I thought that Centrefield was a little cliche; everybody’s seen a baseball video set to Centrefield. But in the end, I think it worked out pretty well. My wife thought it was a little too ‘Zechariah centric’ until I pointed out that, generally speaking, people didn’t appove of strangers taking video of their children. The result? There’s a lot of Zak.

I have to say, I’m really diggin’ this video blogging/Youtube stuff. Which means that over the course of the off-season and next season, as a captive audience you’ll be subjected to more of my directorial endeavors. I’m no ‘Cecil B. deMille’, but I get by. I especially like the shot near the end where Howie Clark makes the ‘no look’, behind the back scoop catch. I also like the final shot; after the music ends, I brought up the audio from the actual tape - you can hear Brooks Badeaux encouraging the kids.

I hope you enjoy it.
