Use a Flip Video camera to create a Video Roll Call

Flip Viodeo CamcorderVideo Roll call - with a Flip!

One of the challenges we face when running clinics and tournaments is how to publish who attended and also address the challenge of keeping names and faces in the forefront of memory!.

We thought abut a variety of ways to create our own face book that could be published on our website. Most were too time consuming. We finally settled on a method we call our "Video Roll Call".

And, it's simple! See our embedded video below. Using a Flip Video camcorder, we asked everyone to form a line just out of the view of the camera and then walk, pause and in a big voice say their name and where they reside. When you do one of these don't forget to fly the USAPA banner in the background!

Once we had the video we uploaded it to You Tube and then embedded it on our web page (see FLIP VIDEO for more information).

Even at tournaments when it is difficult to get everyone together a Video Roll Call still works - just film one at the end of each of the player meetings that proceed the competition.

If you have questions or comments send an email.
