LMAO, rumours sure do travel fast!

My girlfriends flatmate works for Channel 9 and I’m planning to ask him if he can wrangle us some footage on the news of the DIHL A-grade finals.

I asked at the committee meeting the other night if anyone minded me arranging coverage of it. The answer of course was ‘go ahead’. In between times Graeme Sykes contacted someone at Channel 9 who phoned me yesterday asking if we’d be keen on having the entire game shown and what time slot did we have in mind?????

…. ahem ….. this was followed by ‘the cost is usually around $1200 per hour of footage, does this sound okay to you?’ So I checked my wallet to see how much I had on me, I’m short about $1195 so if anyone feels like pitching in for the rest of it we’ll get full coverage of the game shown ” title=”Smiley” />

On a more likely note, she said that a snippet on the news is definitely doable. I’ll probably get to talk to my missus flatmate tonight about it and see what he can do.

Long term …. I’d actually be interested in seeing how much it would cost to hire some video cameras as I reckon we could patch something half decent together ourselves for them. I’d need a fairly decent Mac with Quicktime Pro for the editing, but I’m sure it can’t be too hard to prepare something moderately professional, most of channel 9’s stuff is pretty budget looking anyway. The cost if you provide your own coverage is apparently much cheaper, like $100 or something which sounds fairly reasonable to me. Anyone know where you can hire professional grade digital video cameras from?

Ryan,

All going smoothly, channel 9 will be there to film the DIHL A-grade finals.

I was asked to do an interview but they already interviewed me on Thursday and I’m not keen on making an ass of myself again! Kyle, you seem to be good at public speaking ….

I was thinking of sending them to one of the Van Leeuwens to talk to as well, they’re pretty good at ranting about themselves for a while, should provide some good sound bites for them!
