Football / Re: Scoring from the half-line,yuh ever witness any T&T player do that?
« on: January 30, 2006, 08:09:09 PM »
It was D2 in The Baltimore Metro League. There was the JA Raiders and The Ja Raiders (de ole boys) second division team run by George 
, he got a store on Monument Street in Baltimore. I played for Metro, a team from Towson, comprising of ex Hopkins, Goucher and Towson players. Tom Varnick was our captain. That was in 2000. Did you play for Tristar by chance. I played once against Tristar at Clifton Park.

I have to agree that that is done quite often. I did it in Trinidad in Senior Grade and South Leage for Gasparillo Ambassadors, did it on Union in Marabella, and I did it in the Metro League in Baltimore for Metro against Casa Mia and JA Raiders. Still do it here at Centenial Park in Columbia. I think that my obsession came after Italia 90, I saw gascoigne try against Germany and Hoddle for Tottenham. (I'm full of myself). So I kept trying. I don't know if anyone knows a Rawle Francois who played for Caroni, but he did it a lot in bush leagues and minor leagues. So its not a surprising feat.

Ah remember that Ato was telling he story, that a coach saw him running on a football field down the wing, and tell him that he should run track instead with that speed. So add Ato Boldon to that list.

Football / Re: Which T&T footballer college or league used to score,taking ah cornerkick?
« on: January 26, 2006, 03:08:09 PM »
I think that Edson Lando did it back in the late 80's playing for St benedicts, under Jan Steadman.
Also this may be insignificant, but in Senior Grade south knock out competition Dylan Charles, in 1994 scored from a corner, in the 106th minute for Modsec vs Cedros Composite. Next year he played for P'town.

Clubs such as Rainbow RFC (consisting entirely of rastafarians) Harvard Defense Force, YTC and Police must have changed in the 10 years I've been away since by your statement their membership must surely consist of "rich yuppies and their friends".
Man I play good rugby sevens wid dem teams back in de days. Rainbows was always a pleasure to play against. In dem days really de only white players was from Queens Park, two white bros and an older fella. With one or two here and dey.

My suggestions were really for you to work on it yourself, in ignorance, I am new to this board. I hope that you were talking like the Movie Forrest Gump, where they took old footage and restored it; removing the process of aging for the video, would have had to be done at my work. I was talking about the audio workstations so we can equalize the audio, (but you cannot edit/cut anything out it would not match the video upon layering it), just kill the frequencies that would result for aging (eg pops, cracks, etc).
While Digital Performer and Logic and Soundtrack are all for midi and recording, there are some features that allow you to do equalization esp DP4. Shake is what I have home on a smaller scale was going to restore/edit the footage as you would do with bad video.
I know that you are probably talking about brightness, contrast, sharpness, saturation, tint and the overall exposures of the film.

yes you can, I only wanted you to be able to retrieve the old footage for me. Yes I can restore the quality etc. I will have to do this at my work place, only if I can get the old footage. This was so if you wanted to restore the old footage on your computer. Sorry for the misunderstanding I was starting form the basics here.

Storebay Limer- the easiest way. ( I will tell you it as though I was importing to my Mac using Final Cut Studio or Shake 4)
Here are the things that we would need
A working beta max player with video and audio out.
An RCA stero cable, it has predominantly 3 male connectors (White, red and yellow) It should be an rca to 1/8 stereo.
A mini dv camcorder
A firewire cable.
(if you don't have the camcorder and you want to send it straight to your computer you will need
(A Sony Media converter, DVMC-DA2, i-LINK Digital AV interface)
(Or you may need to get a Panasonic AG DV 2500.)
Using the RCA cable connect the camcorder (via the digital video out) to the beta max video/audio output female connectors.
Connect the camcorder to your computer via the firewire port.
Make sure that the "dv pass through" feature is turned on in your camera's menu.
Set the camera on the vcr playback mode.
Turn on the video capture feature on final cut.
Hit play on the betamax player. (you should be able to see the video on the camcorder lcd.)
Hit record on final cut.
(After the whole video is captured then you or I can go to work on restoring the video using the Final Cut Studio or Shake 4 workstations)

For the audio you can use Soundtrack Pro, Audio Pro or you can run the whole thing through Logic Pro, if you want studio quality you can have somewhat do this also of a bit through this or you can use Digital Performer by MOTU (Mark of the Unicorn) 4. (DP4) You can also use the Work station that Pro Tools Provide. Mainly you would be clipping the audio quality and the equalization etc.
For the Audio that is simple use the raw footage and run it through Shake or Final Cut Studio using Motion Etc and some of the plug ins and the apps that these workstations provide.
There would be a couple of interfaces that you would have to use if you wanted to enhance both the quality of A&V, but that a wlole different discussion if you want to talk about that and restoring the quality of the videos. Talk to you later.

Hey if I'm not sure, didn't Latas play for technical institute when they were in sando and he played on de modsec field too. That was surely a blessed field, one part high and de other low. And second field in Skinners park was no joke too. You slide tackle and it was like falling on sand paper. A lot of work to complete... so laters... (Thank God today is a federal Holiday)
