Live Stream Plunge

Thanks @MoC for sharing - the PIP feature of LIVE4 looks really interesting and can really make a game come alive!
And @JayIndy, those highlight vids look incredible.

I've never tried live-streaming, but have been experimenting with overlays of game data. Giving ESPN a run for it's money...

That looks really cool. Where are you getting game data, from game changer?

Same great videos on your page. Do you do them for the entire league?

It all started with one team. When I realized we were making good memories for families + remote grandparents, I offered to do more. We now have some shared setups for our league.

Three weeks ago my league hosted our annual tournament. With 5 cams we tried to cover as many of the 102 games as possible. We got 46 games up, but also learned a lot of lessons about running a fleet of these things and shooting *that* much video (13 games -- some of the best bracket play -- were lost due to technical + mount problems, I ran out of hard drive space mid-weekend, etc). It was a bit crazy.

If you use the link above, you'll see a cool trick I learned - if you give each team a unique hashtag, your videos become searchable on YT/Google!

Ben, Nice job on organizing video....
Head is still hurting
5 cams....hard to keep 1 going....;-)

Trying to attach a couple of pics seen in Kansas. 2 are showing a set up for recording audio, coaches notes right to video to be reviewed later by team, coaches? Saw Lady Coach wearing a smaller head set taking audio notes on who did what or could of done something different, etc.

Wow! Looks like it can do stereo recording. Separate channels for coach's comments /game:

Q for coaches: would you want the ability to record your comments over the video? Video person would cut two versions, a normal game vid for public consumption, another for your review. Coach mic would of course be something handsfree, mute button on the belt pack...

That phone looks very vulnerable in pic 2.

This is real neat and all, but... I don't see any live radar gun readings.

@efastball, great idea! Did a little experimentation last weekend, because why not?

You are the man. Just like ESPN. Are you going to add color commentary next?

I do a good bit of video editing, or did once upon a time. I think you've gotta have a real passion for doing this stuff because it takes a lot of time and energy!
