Youth Club Championships 2007: Flood HL Video

The 2007 Youth Club Championship Oregon: Flood Girls Team video is now available. This unique tournament experience pitted the top 100 some U-19 girls in a 7 team round-robin format. Everything took place in Blaine, MN on August 11th & 12th. And though this is our video, highlights from each game are shown (not just ours).

ipod video - mp4 - (640x360) - 199MB
stage6 divx stream - divx - (1280x720) - stream

googlevideo - (320x240) - stream
(use this as a last resort, because the quality puts the video to shame)


(Though I did not want to put out a lower quality version, there have been requests made.  I cannot upload this video to youtube as they have restrictions over 100MB, but this is now available on googlevideo to see.  The quicktime stream that I normally do was not getting much use at all in previous videos and its' a headache to get to work right now.  So, I leave you with these three sources)

Try stage6, I was very impressed with them. Youtube only allows me to upload 100mb videos and this one is just under 200mb. I can break it into two files, but that is something I cannot do anytime soon.

Why do they all throw those ridiculous pseudo-high-release flicks with no step or pivot?

I really like how your videos show both team's goals and provide good footage for both teams from each game. Nice job.

our pseudo-high-release flicks are because we are lazy/ alot of the girls on our team didnt learn how to throw normal flicks, they learned high release first.

The soundtrack to this video was like 16 minutes in mash-up hell.

kevin... normally, i won't respond, and though I know you mean no ill intention, I feel i now have reason to explain the logic I used to chose the music.

I chose the following tracks for the following 4 reasons:
1) Putting out videos every month for the last year has taken a considerable toll on the number of 'good' and 'known by me and others helping me' tracks out there... I simply have run out of stuff to use and finally found some stuff that wasn't used.
2) The mash-ups are recognizable, which is good since most people like music they somewhat recognize when applied to another thing they enjoy; ultimate. And they are also unique, so as to be creative and add some spice to the videos that wouldn't be there if i just used something like Fort Minor over and over and over again.
3) Though I have never charged and will NEVER charge for my videos, there is some ethical dilemmas in using commercial music. Though mash-ups are still commercial songs, I feel (and i could be wrong) a bit more detached and at least one arms length further from the debate.
4) I personally like the songs and at least 2 of them are strongly significant to our team and add another layer of emotional significance to these films, especially considering I had to leave this team and these players somewhat unexpectedly for grad school nearly 2000 miles away.
