The West Virginia University’s (Morgan-
town, WV) Mountaineers football team,
a perennial leader in the Big East con-
ference, is capturing all this season’s
thrilling action with Panasonic P2 HD
camcorders for usage ranging from vid-
eo board display to a coach’s show that
airs on major sports networks to coach-
ing analysis.
WVU’s Department of Intercollegiate
Athletics has made a substantial in-
vestment in Panasonic P2 HD prod-
ucts, including high-end 2/3” HD
camcorders (an AJ-HPX2700 Vari-
Cam Cinematography, AJ-HPX2000
and AJ-HPX500s), the AG-HPX370
shoulder-mount 1/3” HD camcorders
configured for studio use, the AG-
HVX200A handheld camcorders, as
well as P2 Mobile HD six-slot record-
er/players.
Chris Ostien, senior producer/direc-
tor for the Mountaineer Sports Net-
work (MSN), a multimedia operation
operated by WVU that reports on and
promotes the university’s 17 varsity
teams, including NCAA Division 1 and
Big East Conference football and bas-
ketball, said that Panasonic P2 HD
gear is the linchpin of a front-to-back
file-based
workflow.
Collaborating
with University Relations-Video, MSN
is making versatile use of the VariCam
2700 for high-end recruitment videos,
institutional television spots, providing
highlights and programming to ESPN
and other national networks and local
stations, and more.
During football season, the HPX500s
see heavy field use, and are used
handheld on the sidelines to capture
footage for “Mountaineers 360” (the
weekly coach’s television show), for
various video board productions (e.g.,
entrance video, kickoff video, mov-
ing headshots), and for features for
the WVU athletic web site. The popu-
lar half-hour show with head football
coach Bill Stewart airs on network affili-
ates across West Virginia, as well as on
SNY, MASN and Fox College Sports.
“Being able to change over
to a broadcast lens with a
zoom on the HPX500 has
really impacted our capac-
ity to cover sports,” said
Ostien.
“The
camcorder
has also delivered superior
performance in a variety of
weather conditions.”
Off the field, Ostien recently used the
HPX500 to shoot seven 30-second
commercials and a long-form video
for the Mountaineer Athletic Club, the
school’s booster organization. The
commercials are airing in MSN pro-
grams, on the stadium video board
and online.
Ostien noted that MSN has just pur-
chased an additional HPX500 and
