World Championships 2003 on film

[Foilboy]

Has anyone heard, or have any grounds to believe that the World Championships in Cuba will be aired on any T.V. station? I doubt it, but maybe with Keith Smart doing so well, it might be aired at 3:00A.M. on ESPN 2 or something. If not, does anybody know if the F.I.E. will be making a professional video, or will Fencingfootage have a guy down there with a hand-cam?

We (esgrimamex, fencing net, touche films) are planning to work on DVD versions of finals/semifinals of individual events and finals team. These are of much higher quality (and quite a bit postproduction editing including our "Slow-Mo Fencing" trademark) than the VHS tapes available from other vendors.

Thanks! Do you have website where these tapes will be available for purchase after the Championships?

You will be pleasantly surprised! Some told me that the 2002 DVD would never come out. Thus far, everybody who has seen it, has praised it. Clearly, Craig is quite on target when he indicated that this is not a profitable bussiness, but its our way to give back to our sport.

Do you know if any plans to release a 2002 DVD for Sabre and Foil are in the works? Are we going to have all three weapons for 2003 on DVD?

I received footage for the Men's Epee and Woman's Foil. 2/12 hrs. of footage and used only 1.25 of those 2 hrs. It might be possible but I will need local advice as I only fence Epee.
