Coaches, our film guy Will Dudley of Digimixx productions is a consumate professional that is constantly looking to improve. I told him about the Huey site and he wondered if I could post his link so he could get some feedback from what coaches like to see. Your comments are appreciated.

I know it's just highlights, but I prefer to see plays begin from the LOS instead of random snips and cuts of players running around the field. The players might enjoy the quick cut editing style of the video but coaches like to see plays from their inception. Just my 2 cents.

I agree. Our game film is cut differently than our season highlights. Will has done some freelance work for ESPN and models his highlights along that style. But I agree that what coaches like and what players like probably differ. Thanks for the input.

Just my 2 cents. --Dave think of a highlight video compared to the "coaches film" as the movie version of the book. while the book as "everything" (the whole play from huddle break, los, snap, tackle, get off pile) the movie doesn't - and can't. it has to keep the audience's attention, it has to flow with the soundtrack, it has to be the most vital, action-packed parts of the "book" (the snippets to which you refer). plays from the line of scrimmage with music playing in the background aren't really a "highlight movie" they are simply plays with sound. it should be a piece of "theatrical artwork" in a sense that the action you see should be enhanced by the music - there should be a natural flow to the video, in conjunction with the natural flow of the song/music/soundtrack. too random, too long, too much down-time between the 'action', too "mis-matched" etc. and you lose the desired effects. an example using only "coaches film" but cut down to make a movie. |

The nice thing about coaches film and seeing the whole play is that there are 10 other kids making that highlight happen.... they want to see themselves on the screen too, not just the ball carrier.
