The caddy for Feldy at the EO 2011 told me, that Dave took many discs out so that the caddy would have it easier. i don't remember exactly how old the caddy is 14 or 13 i think. Dave also said to the caddy, that compared to last year he's using fewer discs per day in competition to lighten the load. It's bound to make caddying easier. Humping 43 discs all his other stuff and water for two and the camera equipment and for a while keeping score was a chore on that long hilly course in high temps for Europe. And i'm more geared to cold weather than hot.
I wasn't limited by the bag, but the need to be close to Dave. It ain't cool if the caddy runs away from the player carrying his discs :-D
I'm not making the videos by myself. lcgm8 does the heavy lifting after the event. I do announcing for some videos and handle getting the links to the people. We have outsourced announcing for some videos and that is way slower. In fact many projects have not moved, because the announcing hasn't materialized. And i would very much like to see stars doing the announcing instead of a Joe Schmoe like me. Announcing by myself is a very quick job compared to how lcgm8 edits slower than cut and paste for extra quality. For hopefully TV readiness and TV visibility on larger channels.
Both lcgm8 and i missed the disc on the view screen and had to look for the disc visually at the EO sometimes. Sun and low contrast to the sky discs from far away coming at you are very difficult to see even with the naked eye.
lcgm8 had a better view screen in his old camera than the new, but the new one is superior in every other way than the zoom button for small hands. The good thing is that his paw is large enough for the new camera. Mine ain't. lcgm8 had less trouble following the disc in the view screen with his old camera and mine is just horrible.

And more fun. Filming is a lot of work and always very long days, playing is fun, easy and leaves you time to recuperate. We often have to do with 5 hours of sleep that for me is often interrupted. Playing is way less stressful and you can sleep more and start out much more fresh the next day. It also takes more days to rest to 100 % after a filmed event than a played event. It is natural, because cameramen have to move often for each shot so they walk the course the same as the players and for each shot of the four players in a group walk or run extra to get the best shot and not being in the way. I wouldn't wonder if i walked/ran double the distance per round compared to the players. Who can sit down if they want to. Argh! Makes me wanna play and take it easy. Instead i'm in flu and now having to think of the hardness of filming.... Blechhh.
