There you have it! Here is this years Somers Dodge Ball Tournament 2010 Winners! Team Irresistible took the crown for what was a great charity event run by the Peer Leadership Group here at Somers High School. At the event I coached for Team Tag Team, where we were eliminated in the early rounds with a 1 and 3 record. Not good.
But beyond coaching Team Tag Team, I got to work from another vantage point on the court. Following our elimination, I worked court side with one of MSGVarsity's camera man producers who shot video of the night's events. During the heat of all the matches, I got to set up camera angles that added theatrical effects to the segment that is soon to be released. When working a game like this, it is important to get the emotions of the athletes during their victories and losses. We were able to do just that. Along with film on the teams, the camera operator and I also filmed the enthusiasm of the fans with frames of teams like the New York Nuggets being followed around by a entourage on kids with designed fan T-Shirts. It was just crazy.
Once the games had concluded, I had a chances to speak candidly with the MSGV camera operator about the software they use in the work field. The software "Final Cut" seems to be the name that people use when editing film for TV viewing. That was good news because I am currently learning how to use the "Final Cut" software after school.
Overall the Dodge Ball Tournament was a great success with the Peer Leadership Hosts having their "best" Tournament yet, along with myself gaining valuable field knowledge on how to work sporting events like Dodge Ball.
Other developments in the works are getting out to see some of the Somers Varsity teams play in practice, along with meeting the coaches and players for future interview material. Good Stuff.
Keep it tuned here for a BIG upcoming week with tons to do and little time before the Somers Tuskers start their 2010 Spring Sports Campaign.
See you next time
