In reply to: CLK 's message, "Green Bay" on Tuesday, December 07, 09:50:43am

In this day and age, where everything's going digital video, Duquesne continues to be video neanderthal ....we produce the worst product (in Division I Basketball). When board viewers check-out Green Bay video podcast, you will understand what I'm talking about....being a video producer for over 30 years, I think I know what I speak of. This stuff is not brain surgery, it's basic video production 101 and not even an inordinate amount of work....it is simply put, not putting any effort to produce anything worth viewing....as in no effort!!!

Most of the posters on here are usually attending home games, so they don't get to see the lousy product Duquesne is putting out there.....many people rail-on, that we should be "higher profile" program.... this a perfect example why we are not....When is Amadio going understand that this is one the best means to extend the Duquesne brand, now and into the future.... Welcome to the 21st century Greg....adapt or be left behind...

While I agree with you, I have to point out two things: 1. There is a very limited market for this right now. 2. A better system will obviously cost some money. I'd rather invest in recruiting right now. (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, December 08, 09:31:03am
Improvements in the works? -- CLK, Wednesday, December 08, 11:45:52am
- I'm sick of waiting, I've been complaining about this for over 2-3 years now..they should have had these (preported) changes at the Bluefield game... not in the budget...give me a break!.how much did they spend on improvements to the AJP Center?!.. just shows me that they don't care about us Alums out of the Pittsburgh geographic area...more -- TKE/81, Wednesday, December 08, 07:59:11pm
  - It is an embarrasment. I did not mean to imply that it was acceptable. I was just relaying information. (NT) -- CLK, Wednesday, December 08, 08:08:02pm
    - Compare our broadcast to theirs tonight full screen sync up audio with video and my goodness ... wow !! a running score on the lower third of the screen ... we got high schools that are doing this in CA virtually free.....as far as budget, the cost is minimal... video-podcast are easy and cheap to produce....they are just lazy and don't care...

- Wow! The Dukes AD is learning how to post videos online, I can hardly wait for 2003 to get here to what other technological breakthroughs the University is planning. (NT) -- DukeGeek, Thursday, December 09, 09:58:26am
  - Could do this stuff in my sleep.....I've shot over 500 Multi-camera special events, from sports, events like Baseball, Basketball....A person with a current cell phone and laptop computer and Skype could do a better job covering the game than Duquesne does on the Dukes Basketball broadcast....this not a difficult or costly thing to do....its embarrassment and can you believe $ 4.99 a month for it .....It's a joke ... (NT) -- TKE/81, Friday, December 10, 02:13:20am
    - I never see the home games as I'm always there, but this really annoys me. The reason I'm annoyed is that I know my old friend TKE/81 who is an expert in this field has volunteered to give assistance to the university on numerous occasions over the years, free of charge, and they have never taken him up on his offer. (NT) -- VBC, Friday, December 10, 06:58:04am
      - Thanks VBC for taking my back on this ....I'm going to keep on harping on this till they fix the situation... (NT) -- TKE/81, Friday, December 10, 06:01:54pm
    - It's not the lousy monthly fee , thats a drop in the bucket....but to charge anything for what they are putting out is a total disgrace....Doesn't matter what they charge I'd be willing to pay season ticket prices , to see a well broadcast home game....the thing is that if I was hired by a corporation , a school , or a private client and I put out such the crap that they are putting out...I'd be fired on the spot and justifiably so....
