I've loved Ohio State since I was born and it remains to this day as the thing I love most in life!! Fall Saturdays
at the Horseshoe can't be beat in my opinion, and the spirit of college football is simply amazing. Around 2004 I decided
to begin recording Ohio State games and have been trading for them since 2006. In 2005 I put my love of editing videos to
use by editing the Ohio State games I had into highlight tapes. I now create and design highlight tapes for every Buckeye
season I can. I'm currently working on the 1998-2009 seasons (12 seasons) and hope to have them all completed in full
by the beginning of the 2010 season. When I say full, I'm talking about designing cover arts and disc cover arts for the highlight
tapes, as well as, DVD sleeves for them.
Another interesting aspect
of my highlight tapes is that not only do I create season long, game-by-game, highlights of the Buckeyes' season, but I also
create special features for a 2nd disc. Special features that I tend to use in my highlight tapes are as follows:
- Buckeye Commercials from the year
- Big Ten Commercials from
the year
- Player Profiles of the careers of the star players (only seniors / departing juniors)
- Various
Trophy Presentations
- Game Previews
- Post Game Interviews / Celebrations
- Special Edition
Highlight Video (best of the best plays from the year)
- Incoming Freshman Slideshow
- Spring Game Highlights
-
Many more...
Currently I am trading for the 1990-1994 seasons, to prepare for when I work back
to those seasons with my highlight tapes. As mentioned above, I expect 1998-2009 to be completed by Fall 2010. By then I will
need to clear my computer and hard drives of everything from 1998-2009 in order to make room for seasons 1987-1997. I will
begin uploading the 1987-1997 seasons in Fall 2010. From there its anyones guess as to when these seasons will become available,
however, I will begin working on the 2010 season as soon as it rolls around.
In
my highlight tapes I use mostly rock music from that particular year to synch up to the videos. Some of my favorite
bands to use are: Foo Fighters, Incubus, Linkin Park, Rage Against The Machine, Jimmy Eat World, 30 Seconds To Mars, Three
Days Grace, Green Day, Rise Against, Papa Roach, The Hives, etc.
For
the future I have a desire to collect as far back as I can, each game and each season. My current goal is to complete a highlight
tape for each Buckeye season dating back to 1990, and my long term goal is to go back through the 1970's!
NOTE:
I am not in the business of selling my highlight tapes or any of my games as that is illegal, however, if for trade purposes
you are interested in trading for my highlight tapes I would consider them to be worth more than just one game, due to all
of the time and effort that I put into making them.
