2011 DCC - "CaliRed" Presents - Episode 4 - "SVB gives up the nuts"

In this installment, this video shows some great ambiance of the Derby. A big match with tons of people surrounding the table. 2 guys, 1 table and wall to wall people right up against the table on all sides.

This was recorded about 11 pm on Sat night the 22nd. Shane Van Boening decided to give Scooter Goodman the nuts and see if he could outrun it. Scooter got the wild 6,7,8 and 9, playing 9 ball. 12 ahead for 7500. Oh, did I mention Scooter also got all the breaks and the wild balls counted on the break.

Scooter jumped out to a 4 ahead lead, but then Shane whittled it back to 0 and then went to town on Scooter. SVB won in under 2 hours. I remember pushing my way thru the crowd and then setting my tripod up to it's highest level, then standing there the whole time, with people surrounding me.

This is only 30 mins, but it gives you a idea of what it would be like at the Derby. I am really happy the way the video is coming out. After watching all these videos on YouTube and streams, it's really nice to see some pool in High Definition.

So click the link, click on the full screen icon and check out how Shane Van Boening plays 9 ball. Keep in mind the weight involved and how every ball on the table is important to Shane. This kind of weight, you can't make any mistakes.

I must say that you are really talented, producing these cool high-quality videos, CaliRed. I am totally impressed with the way you have these videos presented. The graphics are well done, not over the top. In fact, these are some of the best video clips I've seen on Azbilliards.

I'm not sure what you do for a living, but I hope you are able to produce more of these from your attendance at future events. I know there is a lot of hard work that goes into doing this, but your efforts do not go unnoticed.

Looks like Scooter has a lady friend sitting railside, rooting for him. :grin-loving:

Thanks for sharing these DCC gems! :)
 
Nice job Greg.. The video quality is outstanding.. I saw you filiming at the DCC, you looked very busy but I should have introduced myself.. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
 
Video looks great. That game shows how tough it is to win against an elite player playing 9 ball. If Scooter would have gotten some shots on the ball after the break it could get out of hand quick though.

Everyones Derby experience is different its cool to see it from different points of view. I know how much work it is getting all this stuff organized, edited and uploaded. Thanks for all the work.
 
I didn't get to attend the DCC and your excellent video makes me feel like i'm there and if I was there I wouldn't have been able to see the action this well. Great job on the videos. You are very talented producing this quality in a crowded setting like that.

That's an absurd spot to outrun against any player who isn't completely helpless...thanks for the videos.

Apparently that Shane kid can play a little...I hate to see him doing so well because he's almost exactly my age...and I can't do the stuff he does. :)
 
im in the yellow shirt to the left of scooter.......... i got bored with watching scooter do the same break and it not working each time...... so i watched the 1 hole cliff joyner vs rob saez......... i wanna no how shane was racking i notice he was racking the 1 ball a lil above the spot ..........

Thanks Justin....

I am a bit disappointed somewhat in the lack of apparent interest in my last 3 threads of the video's I've posted. Out of 3 threads, I've got a total of 14 replies. 2 of the threads pretty much disappeared after one day:grin:

Even though I'm one of those paycheck to paycheck people, I took 2 grand and bought a nice camcorder and camera and went to the Derby with a grand idea of being able to do something good for pool and share some cool stuff with a bunch of pool fans like myself. I wanted to do it right.. I could have did it with a smartphone, but I thought the pool community would really enjoy HD footage for a change.

So for 9 days, I lugged around all this equipment everywhere I went, (I always got a lot of looks and comments when I would haul my camcorder on a tripod in the bathroom:grin:) and tried to get some good footage.

I got back and spent several days going thru each clip and labeling it and watching it to determine it's worthiness. Then several days experimenting with different encoding settings and trying to figure out which hosting service to use. After settling with Vimeo, I had to fork over 60.00 so I could upload more then 1 HD video.

Then for example, this video.. I pretty much have to listen to the whole thing to make sure someone isn't saying "I saw Justin from TAR doing it with a goat down by the boat last night":grin: Then a couple hours of editing it, then a couple of hours while it re-encodes it, then about 4 or 5 hours to upload it to Vimeo and then have it re-encode it again, then another 1/2 hour labeling it and putting up some threads about it.

I'm not the type of guy that needs praise given to me, but it is important to me to see some discussion that would lead me to believe someone watched it and got some kind of enjoyment out of it. A person does lose a little enthusiasm, when after all the work they did, to see 2 or 3 people reply to his post and then watch it scroll off into oblivion by threads with 5 or 6 pages of replies about aiming, eye tests, how's your pool game doing, what songs do you listen to when you play pool and whether golf is more exciting then pool.

That kind of response (or lack thereof) is enough to make a person think, is this really all worth it? But I did get a very nice rep post (rep means sh1t to me, the words mean alot) by someone who said ......

lovely lovely video, thanks for the share, I always wanted to live this moment and experience it, with you doing this, you made me try to imagine it's me and live it, I was smiling the whole time, as I never been in any america tournament or big evnt

That meant a lot to me and let me know that a few people out there were experiencing what my intended purpose was.....

Like I say... I would be perfectly fine if there were 30 replies to my thread and only a few of them said Thanks to me.... the thing I care about, is that I see that people watched it, that they had something to say about what they watched. Since this is a forum, it's all about discussion. So if your post, gets near zero discussion, you feel like your post was not worthwhile to have posted.

Given the response (or lack thereof:grin:) so far, I am really up in the air of spending hundreds of hours trying to edit together a DVD to hopefully inspire some people to try and make it to the Derby next year. I had some hopes of maybe trying to recoup some of my equipment costs and maybe get a little reward for 150 hours of lugging equipment around at the Derby every minute of every day. Not to mention, the countless hours it's going to take to edit thru 24 hours of HD footage down to 2 hours.

If after all that, I sold 5 copies of it, you may find me "Living in a van, down by the RIVER":D

I see threads where people are looking for thanks or praise.. this is not one of them. I don't crave that or need that. What I do need, or is helpful, is discussion. Not because someone feels they have to, but because the content was worthwhile to comment on, or the delivery was worthwhile to comment on. Because this is a forum, where people comment and discuss, you can only gauge people's interest, by the quantity and quality of comments.

I'm not one of those guys that "bump" their own threads to keep it on the front page. I'm a firm believer that a thread should stand on it's own or die on it's own. Unfortunately, my goal is to share my video's with as large of audience as I can, in hopes that some may enjoy them, but if no one comments on your thread, it dies a quick death and many people that might have enjoyed the content, will never be able to, because they don't read past the 1st page or 2.

There... I vented, I feel better, you won't hear me talk about this again:D

This vent is not about sympathy or praise, it's about some discussion, d@mn'it! If you got anything to say, say it! There will always be threads about what aiming method you use, what cue you use, where do you wipe your boogers when you're shooting.....

In a forum you keep score by discussion - good or bad discussion, it doesn't matter, it all counts the same. No discussion = failure - Lots of discussion = success.
 
Thank you!

Cali,

Thank you so much for all the clips/episodes of DCC to give us a great insight to what it was like.

I loved that you filmed John Henderson v. Ghost & Bernie, that's stuff we hardly ever get to see, wish there was an ending (in John's favor).

Yes, it was a long walk to the tournament room :)

The clip of Shane's match was great because all I read was that Shane must have been putting the rack to Scooter, which was not the case. The balls broke well & scooter never asked for a rerack. Plus, SVB just plays great.

If you are posting more, I will watch.

Again, thanks.

Dave
 
If my work unblocked vimeo I would have commented/shared your videos on here and on facebook, no doubt lol. I sent the link to myself at home so I'll check it out later today.
 
Likewise, I'm definitely going to check this out when I get home. I know CaliRed does a lot of work with statistics in the past that I have gleaned useful stuff from. And now, doing this hi-definition work! Will comment more when I have a chance to view! :p
 
LOL. I'm pretty sure somebody from pooldawg slapped a sticker on SVB's back :)

Love the video, keep 'em coming.
 
Cali,
Really great video. I also felt like I was there, watching while leaning on the next table. The angle was just right. I could actually see Shane's grip up close. (nice training aid). Nice change from the "overhead table" view that alot of videos use. Thanks for posting. :thumbup:
 
Thank you.

Thank you for the peek inside the world of the DCC. I have yet to visit and SVB is my favorite American player to watch. This was a real treat, many thanks for your efforts.

thanks, my sole intention of going there and hauling around a camcorder and camera for 9 days, sticking out like a sore thumb, was to inspire some of you to make the trip to the Derby. I don't ever want to see the tournament go away and I want it to be a success, so I was trying to put a few more people in the seats and help with that.

You really will walk away and say I need to do this again. I am already trying to figure out a way to go again. I am hooked now:D
 
Calired, Thanks 4 the video, it was great but you R starting 2 sound like a whining diva :(:o:sorry:
 
Thank you so much for getting the HD camera. I will watch this again since it is so clear. That thing is the nuts. You mind if I ask which camera you got since This is how I want all my videos to look.
Crystal Clear. Nice going CaliRed!! Props for dishing out the extra dough instead of using your camera phone.
