Sharyn Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I'll be following you all around, video taping and setting my laptop up to provide some LIVE footage, commentary, interaction, comedy/tragedy... whatever you make it. So, stop by and say "HI!" to all your fans in Enosverse! This is where I'll be broadcasting LIVE ( http://www.ustream.tv/channel/uspsa-lpr-nationals ) The link is the only thing I've set up so far... I'll update more later... gotta pack n' stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blownhemi Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Cool I look forward to seeing some of the action. I have a particular interest in USPSA Production because we in Australia also use 10rd mags as mandated by our government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharyn Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Awesome! I hope you enjoy. OK, we're here... about ready for the first 5 minute walkthrough on stage 16. I'll try to travel around to different stages/shooters... obviously some stages are more viewer friendly... and granted that the weather cooperates. We got a bit of rain last night... The coverage will be intermittant, so catch what you can LIVE and there will also be recorded versions available. GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE SHOOTERS!!!

I'm going to stick with squad 15 for a bit: Dave Bridgman Jerry Brown Mike Burrell Ryan Hall Steve Miguez Blake Miguez Chad Rutherford Shannon Smith Kevin Toothman Mark Waki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Bagger Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 How come it doesn't switch to the helicopter coverage between stages? Good stuff Sharyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maineshootah Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Sharyn, I see a Front Sight article in your future. Thanks for the views. (Gaakk! I just made post 6 6 6 ) Edited September 7, 2008 by maineshootah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharyn Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 LOL! Yeah, Shooting USA is settng up right next to me for this stage... Their video will be soooo "old news"... I'm running low on battery power... and I'm not sure the RECORD area on UStream.tv is working either. I'll figure it out someday. Still capturing some Handycam footage too. Maybe I'll post some later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfish Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Regardless of technical glitches - this is a great *thing* - thanks for making it happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Sharyn, We can see OK... We can HEAR great. If you are close to the camera...it would be cool to tell us who is shooting and maybe give a few words on how their run went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmiller1 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Hi Sharon, Could you say who is shooting when possible? Thanks for doing this. MLM edited to say: Flex beat me to it. hahaha. Edited September 7, 2008 by mlmiller1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZ Bagger Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Technical notes for later.... Wonder if placing something in the foreground would force the camera to ignore the overbright sky. Stage becomes much more visible when the clowns step into the frame. In still camera world we'd use a Neutral Density filter on the sky. Maybe post what type of battery you're using. People might be able to bring loaners for the match. ETA...Only meant as constructive comments Sharyn. Love having this! Edited September 7, 2008 by EZ Bagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ok someone with a boot kick the people out of the way. Sharyn needs a squirt (water) gun...to keep people out of the way of the camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blownhemi Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Awesome stuff, the sound is great. I'm wear headphones to not wake the family but the sound is very good. Picture is not bad considering but some way of forcing the picture brightness would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharyn Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Awesome guys! Thanks! And thanks for the feedback too. It's just nearly impossible to view what you are viewing while I'm trying to broadcast. Right now I'm simply hoping that I get most of the stage and a reasonable angle... very tough! Squad 15 just shot the 40 yd standards, and now they're at chrono... giving me some time to charge the battery (in the car)... it's my Dell laptop battery so I'd doubt that anyone has a spare. I'll be purchasing a back up in the near future (but they're not cheap!) It's an Inspiron 1420 should someone happen to have one too and want to loan me their battery. Flex, et al... great! I've really just been trying to stay quiet and keep out of everyone's way... not distract the shooters. I thought you might be able to hear the ROs call the names and times/points/scores... but I can say the shooters name too. I like to work behind the camera though... I need to hire a commentator. Yeah, the overcast skies do not lend to great video... I'll see what I can do for now, but since I have such a hard time seeing the laptop screen, it's going to be tough to make adjustments. I'll view the recorded video later and see what y'all are talking about and how I can fix it. Right now, most people think I have something to do with the Palm scoring... so when the word gets around more that I'm webcasting... I'm sure we'll have some entertaining hams in front of the camera and less butt shots. Anyone catch John Scoutton's appearance? On that note... is anyone watching the recorded versions? How's that going??? I'll get back to LIVE broadcasting in about half an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maineshootah Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 On that note... is anyone watching the recorded versions? How's that going???I'll get back to LIVE broadcasting in about half an hour. Aside from the overcast skies, and shooters blocking the camera here and there (ya know.. the things you CAN'T control.. ) They are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecichlid Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Great stuff!!! ThinkGeek.com has these USB foam rocket launchers. Could be fun to hook one up to the PC this cam is on so we can get people out of the way. ROFL Joe W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
