Last Sunday, I had my first official on-camera experience with Lehighsports.com. I was filming a post-match extra for the Lehigh women's tennis team with Courtney, a fifth year, who has been working with Lehigh Sports for a while. She did on-camera interviews with the men's team, while I did on-camera interviews with the women's team. Both matches took the entire day...about 7 hours once it was all said it done! After interviewing players and the coach, we filmed our openings and closings and hurried to the Digital Media Center to edit our work on Final Cut Express and be done for the day.
After several failed attempts, Courtney and I were quickly finding ourselves frustrated with Final Cut's inability to capture the clips that we had just filmed. We moved from computer to computer for about 20 minutes, and finally find one that works. We capture our image and start to watch our clips, only to find that the audio did not record for any of our interviews! We spoke with Katie, a broadcast specialist who works for Lehighsports.com, and she had no idea what the problem was.
We were so frustrated because of all the time we spent gathering footage and trying to upload our clips had all gone to waste. No worries though because I'll be getting back at it on Monday as I interview the baseball and softball teams about their upcoming seasons in a preview that should be posted mid-week!
