Request (no video yet): good video of me needed

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 04 Jan 2006 14:24

I'm going to try and do halftime/commercial break entertainment at a Phoenix Suns NBA game this year, and in order to do so I need video of myself playing footbag, so I can hand in a sample CD of what I do, along with my resume.

All I have at the moment is my Shred30 finals at Worlds 05, and my 1st round routine video that Mathieu Gauthier made a while back. http://www.footbag.org/media/728/KenWorlds.mpg

If any Australians or people at worlds/rochester have any video of me doing Sick 3s, or good Shred30s, strings, what have you, could you make a small video and send it to me or post it here? This could potentially get freestyle some pretty big exposure.

Thanks in advance,
Ken Somolinos

Australians:
If you can't upload footage yourself, or don't have time to edit it, and you will be at Australian nationals, please burn a dvd/cds of any Ken footage you have and I will upload it as soon as I get back.
I think it's important we do anything possible to help Ken out here!

Ideally, I'd like something where the bag is very visible the whole time, and if you put music over it, no swear-words would be preferable. My Worlds Routine is easy to follow, but something more zoomed in would be cool. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

maybe you should grab your section from sick03 - i think you won't find anything that makes footbag look much better...

good luck on it!

gday kids.

I have heaps of Ken footage one problem tho, its on analog tapes. My analog card in my PC is pretty poor quality, that and the fact I dont have time to edit these tapes is why I havent done anything with them.

Nic, do you have an analog cam? I could send you the tapes. If not I could burn them to CD but they will be relatively poor quality even for analog.

Ian you out there? You do some analog stuff dont you? want Ken S tapes? They have even been cataloged (highlights) by the man himself.

Ken, I could even send the tapes to you and just get your hands on a cam and a card and you could do it yourself.

I just got your shred 30 from Rochester on my computer but it's dark, shot from behind you and lower quality than you'd like. A nonfootbagger wouldn't be able to appreciate this footage. Sorry I can't help. Perhaps RFA has a better copy.

Hey Guido i got the email RE: the Ken video, do you still want me to look at it or maybe Tom should just do something with what he has? Unless you want to get that footage out of the way.... im not entirely sure what i can do with an analog camera, i dont own a working one, mine is a JVC digital. Maybe i could borrow my Grandfathers...

At least it's my best side

Seriously though, thanks everybody for all your efforts. I hope it pays off. Keep in mind that my target audience isn't footbag-savvy, so one or two slow-mos would really help. Thanks again for all your efforts.

Love,
Ken
