NE Ohio's #1 Video Services Company

Scholarship videos are an increasingly necessary tool for high school students interested in pursuing a college scholarsship. It's all about gaining a competitve edge and that's where we can help. Whether your child excels in sports, drama or music, we can showcase their talents to the fullest.

At Stilson Video Services, most often we work with athletes who want to showcase their talent for college coaches. We go well beyond editing a few key plays together. We create highly impactful videos that expertly combine game tapes, highlights and perhaps even an interview with your athelete. These are just some of the techniques we use that make our videos superior to other cookie cutter approaches.

The Sports Scholarship Video Process

If you already have video footage highlighting your athelete, gather it up and determine which tapes and clips will be the best to use. Let us know if you need help in the selection process. Often times the school will have game tapes that you can use as well. We can take virtually any tape format.

If you are lacking good footage and want us to professionally videotape your athlete in action we can do that too. Just give us a call. It is important that we start with quality video to begin with which clearly shows your athelete's performance. There are certain things we can do to enhance the video you have, but the better video you have to start, the better the end product will be.

Typically, coaches will want to see a mix of highlights and unedited game footage (at least a half a game). The highlight section should only be 5-10 minutes in length. Also, if you feel it's appropriate, we can include an interview with your son or daughter allowing them the opportunity to discuss their various accomplishments in sports and academics. This can be another effective technique which leaves a strong impression.

These days, we always use DVDs as the media of choice unless a coach specifically requests a tape format. The DVDs offer several advantages, especially in the areas of navigation so the coach can easily get around to the different sections of the DVD. DVDs are also much easier to send in the mail and easier to copy.

It's Probably Not to Early to Begin

If you think your student athlete is headed towards excelling in a sport and may potentialy earn a scholarship, it would be an excellent idea to meet with us to discuss the best way to capture your child on video. Not only will you have a head start on the process, you'll be gathering wonderful family memories at the same time.
