COLLEGE RECRUITING VIDEOS

Often, college coaches request high school athletes to send them recruiting videos. If you are pursuing an athletic scholarship, Psyched About Sports will put together a professional video for you to send to college coaches that highlights your skills.

You can provide footage you have videotaped and/or Psyched About Sports can videotape the athlete in action.

The cost depends upon the sport that is being videotaped, the specifics of the content you would like to include, the number of games and practices to be videotaped, the amount of footage you provide and the length of the final edited video. A couple of options are described below. If your content needs are different than these, they will be discussed ahead of time to determine an overall cost.

Each option includes two copies of the finished video (2 DVD-R, 2 VHS or 1 DVD-R and 1 VHS). The cases include a nice cover that contains photographs of the athlete along with contact information and a list of athletic accomplishments. The source tapes are yours to keep, as well, if you request them.

If you would like Psyched About Sports to make additional copies for you, they are $7 a piece.

Note: If videotaping takes place more than a 45 minute drive from the Rye Brook, New York area, then travel costs may be additional.

-One third of the price is due upon completion of the first videotaping session. The balance is due after you have approved the final edit.
-All prices are as of 01/01/08 and are subject to change.
- Note: New York state residents add 8.125% sales tax

OPTION 1 - $60/hour to edit

-You provide all of the video footage of the athlete and we’ll edit your video
Each video will be edited to suit your specific needs, but here are elements that are typically included and sample lengths (which will vary):

• Information Section – personal and coaches info, accomplishments - 45 sec.
• Introduction Athlete briefly introduces self on camera - 15 seconds.
• Game Highlights (an arrow highlights the featured athlete periodically) - 7 minutes
• Skills Section (from a practice and/or selects taken from game footage) - 3 minutes
• Unedited half game with arrow pointed at athlete at beginning of each point - 20 min.

PAS will edit the footage you provide. We can watch the games and choose the best highlights to include or you can do so ahead of time in order to save money.

Once the footage has been loaded into the editing system, the amount of time it takes to edit the video depends mainly upon the length you would like the final video to be. Most, but not all, 5-15 minute videos can be edited in 10 hours or less.

Also, many coaches like to see the athlete in action with footage that is unedited. However, sometimes they have difficulty distinguishing you from the numerous other players on the field, especially when the game has been videotaped in a wide shot. If you would like to include a full or half game (the length depends upon the sport) in which the featured athlete is highlighted by an arrow each time he or she is seen, or is highlighted at the beginning of each point, it usually takes an additional 3 hours of editing time.

To summarize, here is a breakdown of cost for a sample video in which you have provided a detailed shot list of the shots you would like to include.

Loading Footage into the editing system 1 hour - $ 60
Editing the video 8 hours - $480
Adding arrows to an unedited half game 3 hours - $180

Total cost (which includes 2 copies) - $720

Hints for Identifying Selected Shots

For footage you provide, the specific video highlights you would like to include should be clearly identified and their exact locations on the tapes stated, either by time code numbers if the tapes were videotaped professionally or by setting your counter to 0 min. 0 sec. at the beginning of each tape.

Here is an example of how to identify the shots you would like to include:

By making a shot list in this manner, it will save the editor time because he or she is then able to fast forward to the shots that are to be used and not have to watch all of the footage you send. This can save hours of time which therefore keeps the cost lower for you. For example, if you provide 5 hours of videotape with 15 minutes of selects clearly noted, it will take approximately an hour for the editor to get everything loaded into the computer editing system. However, if the editor has to watch 5 hours of footage and decide which highlights are the best, then it will take at least 5 hours to watch the tapes and then another hour to load them into the computer.

If your camera or vcr does not have a counter, then if possible, it is helpful for you to fast forward through the tapes with the editor in the editing room in order to make the selections. This method will save some time and money, as well.

OPTION 2 - $1,000

- Note: New York state residents add 8.125% sales tax

-Videotape one game. If desired, videotape pre or post game interviews with the athlete and/or coach, as well.
(2-3 hour timeframe)

-Videotape one practice (can be substituted with a second game)
(2-3 hour timeframe)
Focus more on specific skills.

-Edit a 5-15 minute video of the athlete
The video will be edited together in a manner that you want.
(Approximately 10 hours of editing time)

Additional games are $300 to videotape. If you watch the game dvds and note the highlights to include, then there is no additional charge for editing. If we watch the games and choose the highlights, then there is an additional cost of $30 per game for editing.
