First time on EVS

We had our third remote yesterday at the soccer game. It went really well. By far the best overall remote we have done all semester. I think the reason that we are improving so much is because now we finally understand what is expected by each position during the remote. For the remote I ran EVS or known by its simpler name as instant replay. I went through a crash course in the beginning of the semester on EVS, and I received more training before the game thanks to Josh Clark.  I learned how to build a play list and edit highlights while as putting up replays during the game. It is a lot of multi-tasking in the back of truck.

The best way to describe the atmosphere behind the scenes is controlled chaos, a lot is always going on but we worked together and it all worked out. For the first time we were able to run the pregame show and then run breaks and then replay the recorded open before we started the show.  It was cool to see all our planning pay off and that the EVS is able to record the pregame show and then play it back live as our intro during the starting lineups, and national anthem.  I really had a good time running EVS and I wish I have another opportunity to run it again this semester. It was exciting when a replay would get used and when my highlight list played. Sometimes I cut the replay to short because to the animation for the replay but it was exciting to use replays during the game.
