 Today is the last game that will be live-streamed as it is the end of the volleyball season. Overall, I thought I did okay with setting everything up. I noticed that on youtube, a lot of other school sporting events were being live-streamed were getting recommended. I became curious to see how others went about live streaming one of their games. For example, I believe one of the ones I found was a basketball game from The Kinkaid School. It looked like they had a pretty standard view of the basketball court, similar to one you would find on television. A lot of what they had wasn't really possible in our gym as ours is not really like a stadium layout. To get the live stream similar to Kinkaid's I would have to place the camera on a small ledge above the basketball court where the speakers are. That certainly would have been a lot more difficult to set up. Nonetheless, I thought what we had was good enough. All the feedback I received was good, and no one had any problems with...

 I've continued helping with the live-streams at the boys' and girls' volleyball games. Since the first time I started helping with the live-stream, I've learned a lot about the software and what I have to do. In the last blog, I described that we weren't able to get the score up on the live-stream. Recently, however, I was able to get the score displayed and everything went fine. I also adjusted the camera angle and put in a tripod that can extend to be very tall so it had a better angle of all the volleyball games. Other than that, however, not much has changed. I am looking to improve some minor things, like showing the name of the teams for instance. I think that will be an easy fix and probably won't take very long to include on the live-stream.

 Live streaming the boys and girls volleyball games has been successful for the most part. Nothing has gone wrong, and I have successfully kept the live stream up through entire games. In my last blog, I mentioned that we weren't able to get the score displayed. In the second game, I had to stream, I figured out a simple way to get the score displayed without causing too much latency variation. I simply opened a text document and formatted it in a way that resembled a scoreboard. I could change the score quite easily as I was just typing different things on the text document. In the future, I'm thinking of adjusting the camera angle for which the volleyball game is shot at. As of right now, I have a tripod that I am using that I haven't quite experimented with enough yet. I currently have it so wear the camera is about 7 feet above the ground, however, I am aware that you can extend it to wear the camera is about 12 feet above the ground which will help me get a better came...
