Sunday was H-O-T in McMinnville but that didn’t prevent the sports information office from doing some behind-the-scenes work on campus.
At 4:30, I met up with former Wildcats All-American Ryan Carlson to collaborate with him on his latest electronic masterpiece – the introduction video for the Maxwell Field display board. Ryan’s work in the video realm is well known among the Wildcat faithful. The 2008 intro piece, which Ryan edited and co-produced, recently won a Bronze award from the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators.
Never ones to rest on our laurels, we met up with four upperclass football players Sunday to shoot some scenes for the 2009 video that will make its grand debut Sept. 12 at the Catdome. (Insider Tip: It’s going to be VERY good.)
Alex Tkachuk, Aaron Boehme, Aaron Heston and Jaymin Jackson were our hand-picked spokespersons. You’ll have to wait until the 12th to see just how comfortable they are in front of the camera.
The photo gallery above shows Carlson in action.
As a humorous side note, we videotaped the players in full uniform at various locales around campus. We guided Aaron Heston to the historic steps of Pioneer Hall, where Wildcat football teams from the 1800s once took their team photos. When we arrived at the bottom of the steps, we interrupted some sort of romantic encounter taking place on a couch perched atop the steps. I don’t know who was more surprised – our group or the frisky couple.
