"That was a magical season and I am so thankful that I captured it on camera. I often go back and relive a few of our finer moments, and I have former athletes tell me how much they love visiting the site to replay their senior year over and over and over."
- Coach Albaugh
It's time to share your story with Chiefpigskin.
On June 30th, Chiefpigskin will be giving away 5 flip cams to 5 different high school or higher level coaches willing to document their season and share it with the coaching world. What a wonderful opportunity to add excitement to your season and promote your program. It takes less than 1 hour of filming per week, no editing, and you get a free camera. Look into it!
How much do I have to film?
We are asking any coach who signs up and wins a flip cam to film:
1. 2 personal interviews each week, sharing your thoughts and insights on the upcoming game. (Preferably on different days) Each interview could be 2-5 minutes in length.
2. 1 drill or 5 minutes of practice each week. Film your linebackers on Tuesday or walk thru's on Thursday. It doesn't matter, just mix it up each week.
3. 1 unique activity each week. You only need 5 minutes of footage. A family dinner. A trip you're making to the bank, the team meal, morning lifting. See footage from Coach Albaugh's documentary for examples.
4. Film the game. Give the camera to one of your athletes not dressing and ask him to film. It doesn't have to be professional. Just give us a look at the game up close. You don't need to film the whole game, just snippets. Try to capture the scoring plays.
5. A postgame interview. Make it as long or as short as you want, just give us your thoughts on your performance from the evening.
What else would I have to do?
At the end of the week, you simply plug your flip cam into your computer's usb drive and load the footage onto your computer. Once it's loaded, you'll follow a few simple steps to upload it to the internet where Chiefpigskin's staff can access it, edit it, and post it to the web.
You will also be free to add any notes to us on pieces of the footage you would like not to be included.
We will make it into a 5 - 15 minute episode on your week.
1. A flip cam (provided by Chiefpigskin)
2. A computer with a USB port.
3. Filezilla software for sending us your footage. (A small program that downloads free from the internet)
This documentary is about YOU, not your kids. WE WANT FOOTAGE OF COACHES.
If you DO have kids on film there will be no problems if:
1. Your athletes have helmets on.
2. Or if you want to have kids on film without helmets you are ok if you have a signed waiver from their parents that allows them to be on the film.
