Lads,
The program Monday night is a great sucess but the quality of the footage in some cases is cr@p altogether.
I did a bit of homework.
Any club/supporters club/anyone interested in improving it instead of moaning about it should read the following.
(Personally i think aim high, it is only worth doing if it kicks áss, half hearted attempts would not improve anything)
____________________________________________
In answer to your querie regarding Eircom league coverage, here at TV3 we
use a format called Beta SX of which the cameras plus ancillary equipment
costs in the region of ?35,000. RTE use a system called DVC PRO which would
cost something similar.
The other broadcast spec system that we can use is Beta SP which would be
full broadcast but would be difficult for you to transfer for your own use.
My suggestion would be for you would be to check out the prices of a high
end DV ( or mini DV ) format camera ( check out www.sony.co.uk ). We have
used footage supplied from other clubs on this format and if the camera
operating is good enough then we will use it.This also means that it would
be easier for you to use for transfers to other formats.
The hard part is capturing all the action on a single camera and as i`m sure
you have noticed from TV3 and others output some camera operators are better
than others.I would suggest that whoever you get to shoot the games should
get as much practice at filming games as possible to ensure that the footage
is viewable.
Best of luck,
Paul Daniel
Head of Cameras
TV3.
