2019 Video Footage for EOY video

[drecords]

well guys -- the amount of content received has been pretty small. I've got my vids (obviously) and Josh and Mosty from CMC and Craig from AI. At this point I probably don't have time to wait another week for content and I'm questioning whether sinking time into the video is worth it. Going to see what I can come up with but in the interest of the continued survival of our series, we have to do better .

So I ask you this --

What is the best way to create this collection during the year at events instead of trying to assemble it after the season ends? One idea I came up with on my 1.5hr commute home tonight (Thanks Canal Barge Company) was to collect videos at events on Saturday evening after the racing is over. We'll miss Sunday footage but will at least give me a bank of vids to start with for next year.


Thoughts?

Great idea Daniel. I’m up for anything that gets our group in front of folks considering where to race. Pretty disappointing so few contributed for this video.

When Wendi and I took on this task previously, we would literally walk around the pits on Saturday and Sunday after the race with a laptop and ask to grab peoples cards out of their cameras. Almost everyone was totally fine with it, but that was the only way we could reliably get the footage. I even purchased a portable one touch drive thing that photographers use to make backups when on safari or whatever, but it was very slow and a huge waste of time. Cheap laptop, with a USB external video card reader was the fastest/easiest. We regularly got 8-10 racers videos (3-4 sessions each) every weekend. Also, we would just grab whatever was on the card, and often the cold tire spins in sunday practice by random out of class people were the best stuff. Hah.
BUT, with this approach, we had hundreds of hours of footage. You have to dedicate a month to doing to video, not just a couple days.

Whatever you put together, THANK YOU. WZ

This. The hardest part is getting the footage compiled to start with.
