'Cats 2011 Scoreboard Intro video takes home Gold.
Linfield's 2011 Scoreboard team Introduction video took home Gold at the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators "Best of NACMA". Our video took top honors in the Group Three division which is made up of Division II, Division III, and NAIA members. The announcements came today at the NACMA Convention in Dallas, Texas as the 'Cats team introduction video bested efforts by Colorado College (Hockey) and Grand Valley State University (Football).
This is the 3rd time over the past 4 years in which our team intro video has placed at the "Best of NACMA" (Bronze in 2008 and Silver in 2009). I realize that not every DII, DIII, and NAIA program has a video board on their campus but that's not going to stop our efforts in trying to produce the best product we can for our student-athletes and fans of Linfield College Football. Our program deserves the best we can give.
There's a group of people that do a great job in helping out with these videos. Retired Linfield Communications Professor and long-time Linfield PA Announcer Craig Singletary (The Best in the Biz) has been volunteering his time and voice for these videos from the beginning and we're insanely lucky to have Craig do this for us.
The Linfield football staff and players are vital in putting up with my never-ending requests. I pull Jackson Vaughan and Mack Farag away from their families for a full evening to help get the players equipped for the shoot and they're always willing.
Linfield S.I.D. Kelly Bird has been supporting the scoreboard videos from beginning in accessing locations, archived photos, trophies, lighting, script feedback, and he's the one nice enough to nominate the videos each year.
Finally, I have to single out my wife (Mrs. 11) who 100% has my back with all these projects. She has a great eye for these videos and has provided value feedback and suggestions to help bring these videos home. I hope anybody reading this is lucky enough to have a wife/spouse that supports your passions as much as Mrs. 11 does mine.
I'm very thankful to everyone in the 'Catdome that helps pull these together and hope we can continue this long into the future.
