Tivy Homecoming 2009

Texas Pro Sound & Video will be filming some of the Homecoming festivities, including parts of Thursday's parade and bonfire. We will also, of course, be covering the football game on Friday night, when the Antlers (1-2, 1-0) will host district opponent Seguin (2-2, 0-1).

Look for us along Water Street covering the parade, and then down in Louise Hayes Park for the pep rally and bonfire. We'll post video footage of the events over the weekend on our video site, www.vimeo.com/kerrville.

Don't forget to check out the game recap and highlights from Tivy's victory over Boerne Sam Champion from this past Friday night. Later in the week we'll be adding another highlight video from the district opener.

Teaming up with the Kerrville Daily Times

For the past two weeks, Texas Pro Sound & Video has teamed up with the wonderful staff at the Kerrville Daily Times to bring you video news segments. So far we've produced just two spots...

• Tivy v. Wagner Football Highlights
• 97th Annual Notre Dame School Festival

In the coming weeks and months, we plan on bringing you lots more news and events from in and around the hill country. For suggestions or tips, shoot me an email at aaron [at] txpsv.com. Stay tuned here for more information and videos!

Coming next week... highlights of the Texas Heritage Music Foundation's Living History Day at Schreiner University on September 25.

TXPSV now offering video hosting services

We are truly in the video age of the internet. With high speed internet connections becoming more affordable, and with over 70% of the population of the United States online, having a web presence is more important than ever. And consumers demand more than just static web pages these days. Video allows you to reach your target market that might otherwise click through your site and leave. Video is an engaging medium with limitless possibilities.

However, it is still quite expensive to host video files on your own servers. It is also very demanding on your servers.

Many people want to have video on their site, but they don't know the first thing about internet video protocols. What's the difference between H.264 and MP4? What's a Flash video file?

We're now here to help with both of these issues. Just give us your video product in whatever format you have, and we'll get it online and ready for your website. We will host the video and serve it to your visitors for a very affordable rate. Because we give you the "embed" codes, all you have to do is add a single line of HTML to your site to start showing the videos.

Here's an example of what the player looks like and an example of the speed and quality. This is a photo slideshow we created for Kurt's wedding. The player can be much larger or smaller, it can be maximized to the entire screen, the colors and controls can be changed... the video experience is completely customizable.

Prices are based on the size of the videos as well as the number of views per month. Contact us for specific pricing information.

Tivy Football Offerings for This Year

Greetings, sports fans. Once again, Texas Pro Sound & Video will be filming the Tivy Antler Football season. We are very excited to be a part of the season again this year, and we wish the Antlers luck as they come off of one of the most successful years ever last year.

Once again we will be offering highlight videos to parents, players, and fans. However, this year we will not be printing full-color DVDs and cases every week as we have in the past. This year we will distribute the highlights each week on Fridays (after the team sees them on Thursdays) and we will also deliver a full color DVD and case at the end of the year that will include all the games and special features.

The Antlers are 0-2 to start the season, but they're improving every week. This Friday is an off week, and then the Antlers will start district when they travel to Boerne. Stay tuned for video highlights and updates!

Crider's on Saturday Night

TXPSV will be running sound reinforcement for the Wes Creech Band on Saturday night, June 6, at Crider's Dance Hall in Hunt, Texas. Come on out for some good dancing music.

TXPSV provides sound reinforcement services for bands, parties, corporate events, and more. See our sound website at http://www.texasprosound.com/

TXPSV to Film Tivy High School Graduation 2009

Texas Pro Sound & Video has contracted with Kerrville ISD to film and produce the Tivy High School Graduation for the Class of 2009.

TXPSV will oversee a multi-cam shoot of the ceremony on May 29 at Antler Stadium in Kerrville. Soon after, a DVD will be available for sale through our website at www.txpsv.com/tivy.

The DVD will include all of the graduation festivities from the pre-ceremony through the end of the night. Each disc will be packaged professionally and will include a full color jacket and printed DVD. Each disc will sell for $15.00 plus shipping, or you can pick it up for free at our office.

Stay tuned to this blog for more information... Go Antlers!

Football Honors

Aaron Yates from Texas Pro Sound & Video was honored last night by Tivy football coach Mark Smith with a medal commemorating Tivy's run to state semi-finals in 2008. Coach Smith thanked TXPSV for its service and commented on the videos that we've provided each week for the team.

After the honors were handed out, TXPSV provided parents and players one last video highlighting our eight favorite moments of 2008. The video, which was viewed by approximately 200 people, received a standing ovation. But the ovation was not for the producers, but for the players who made these amazing videos possible in the first place. Without their talent, skills, and sportsmanship, we couldn't make the videos as entertaining as they have become.

Congrats to Tivy for an outstanding season in 2008.
