Updated Wednesday night, Dec. 9 to replace earlier version of video with HD version. Be sure to click the “HD”, and then the link to see in High Def.
Another outstanding video from Rhys and Sharon Duncan of Broadcast Arts in New Zealand. This one features, among others, Andrew Kirkpatrick. Some great slow motion on his pitches….the only time he ever looks hittable.
From the filmmakers:
The Rock Chote Classic 2010 Softball Tournament hosted at Warren Freer Park, Auckland 28 November 2010. This promo of the DVD features the Grand Final between Ramblers Men’s Premier team and Northcote. Both teams boast NZ Black Sox players and we were fortunate to get an interview with each of them, Nathan Nukunuku, Brad Rona, Pita Rona & Bobby King.
More details below on “Broadcast Arts”, the folks who shot and edited this video. As you can see, it’s HD and of a much higher quality than most of the fastpitch video that’s out there. Be sure to take a peek at the “Full Screen” view. It’s amazing. (see the icons at bottom to switch to full screen) Looking forward to seeing more videos like this!
Update Wednesday night, Dec 9: We have updated the video embed to the true HD version. If you thought the first version of the video was good, you’ll love this one. Be sure to click the “HD”, and then the link to see in High Def.
