Highlights

[BartonRaz]

Took us 10-15 minutes to get going, but after that a good performance on a really tough pitch, and a great result. The squad is certainly looking a lot stronger these days and as proven against Bromsgrove and Stourbridge recently, we can be a match for anyone at the moment.

I’ve never seen Hickey look as poor as he did on Saturday which is credit to the young lads in the middle alongside Hicks, who are all very effective in their own way.

On another note, and this isn’t a moan at all, more of a question really. The quality of the highlights has gone downhill a fair bit in terms of the quality of the picture and it’s not great viewing. If we’re going to the trouble of recording matches, is there a reason we’re doing it with this sort of equipment and not using the stuff we used to use?

I can answer the highlights question.

Previously we have used a standard camera which needed a camera person to operate it during the games, and then it needed editing into highlights afterwards. Having filmed it for 8 years with a number of volunteers, this season it looked like we would be without the same level of volunteer help, we looked at other options. Someone at the club was able to get a Veo system which can film the game without a camera person.Admittedly the quality is not as good and it still needs time consuming editing afterwards it allows us to cover other media outputs such as twitter and Instagram and sometimes I also get to watch a match which has been fantastic.
We still have the old system and if someone wanted to take it on they would be more than welcome to do so.

Makes sense, thanks. Quite impressive that you can film a game like that without the need for a camera person!

It’s a great bit of technology, it has two cameras and follows the ball. I am sure as they develop it they will improve the quality of the image.

Some clubs could do with signing it as we’ve all seen a few players this season who have struggled to follow the ball.
