HOOPS TOURNEY VIDEO

Pressed for time? Watch two basketball games in about a minute. KJ photographer Joe Phelan set up a digital still camera to automatically make a frame every thirty seconds from the radio booths high above the Augusta Civic Center court. Over the course of the afternoon session it took almost 500 pictures. Then with the help of some computer software we compressed two boys games from the MPA Class C West bracket - Traip vs. Hall-Dale and Winthrop vs. Hyde - into a one minute, 12 second movie.
