Last Week

This week is the final week before my presentation next Monday. After finally getting the music on the MU Men's Basketball highlight the last thing to do is to burn it to a DVD/CD. I also finished the Dragon's Challenge highlight film to take to Dr. Combs for his approval this afternoon. Total hours 4.5 hrs total hours: 78 4/11/08 11:45am

Finished Highlight

This week I put the finishing touches on the MU Men's Basketball Highlight tape. Dr. Combs and I figured out how to put music on the highlight. We had tried numerous times to put music on the highlight but the computers on campus did not have the right programs installed so we used his personal computer. I also trimmed more film for the 07 Dragons Challenge highlight with another intern. 11 hours worked, total 73 hrs. 4/4/08 12:45am

Over the past 2 weeks I have been working on a cycling highlight. The cycling event is called Dragon's Challenge 07 and was videotaped by Dr. Combs . The film has a couple different parts of cycling such as time trials, road races, and racing criterium for different age groups, and there was also an women's race. From watching these cycling events I realized how intense and demanding cycling can be. From the crashes to the look of accomplishment and exhaustion after the race. Total hours 12 hrs total 62 hours 3/28/08

This is my first internship and I am excited to start, but a little nervous because I am learning something new. I will be using the Dartfish program to do video analysis of different sports. I love watching sports so I am ready to learn this new technology.
