Like I said in the op, I help with our school's film. We're a mid-pack sized 6a school and I take pride in my filming. Our coach has said on multiple occasions that we send film, way more often than not, that is head and shoulders better than the film we get. Our main camera (pressbox), is a $2500 sony that shoots in hd...it's slick. That said, the way I've been taught to "shoot" the game, would only catch the most blatantly obvious screwed up calls. You can't see the near sideline (most of the time) because of players. Don't have the angle to shoot the far sideline. Approx 50 yards from goal lines. Shoot a "box" from tailback butt to safety (or try to get all wr's in shot). I just don't see how cameras, operators and playback hardware are going to be affordable for 99% of the schools in the state.
