Canandaigua Wins “Season In The Balance” Lacrosse Video Contest!

Last season’s historic run to the state Class A semifinals is going to lead to some national exposure for the Canandaigua boys lacrosse program this season.

The Academy Athletic Department was informed Monday that an entry made by the lacrosse staff to the New Balance Web site has been selected as the winner of the “Season in the Balance” contest for 2009. This means $60,000 worth of equipment for this year’s CA lacrosse team and a season-long “up close and personal” weekly video log in 2009.

It all started with lacrosse staff member Deven York — after some heavy prodding from Lacrosse Booster Club President Dan Knapton — putting together a video of last year’s spectacular season and entering it in the “Season in the Balance” contest at www.seasoninthebalance.com

Here is Canandaigua’s winning video.

We love the Tangarines
Here’s a bit about the creative genius behind the camera. All of the SeasonInTheBalance videos that you see were produced and filmed by Tamgarine Films

Nathan Crooker a Massachusetts native and Brian Jackson of Texas have been working together since 1999 when they co-stared and co-directed StreetTeamTV for the Music Choice network. Their quirky brand of reality television and humor soon caught the eye of the Miller Brewing Co. which landed them a 64 spot reality campaign that they shot and directed in 14 cities over 4 months.
GoodGuys recent works include AT&T, Pepsi, Bayer, Moviefone, American Liver Foundation, AMC Theaters, Folonari Wines, Microsoft and Volkswagon.

GoodGuys music video credits range from Izler with EMI to Type O Negative and SoulFly with Road Runner Records.

Recently, GoodGuys have begun developing web content for UGO networks in collaboration with Arnet sunglasses as well as Barking Irons and Pallete NYC.

GoodGuys photographic clients include AT&T, Folonari Wines, Yardley, Barking Irons, Pallete NYC, Susan Bessire and numerous travel essay’s from around the globe.

In 2005 both Crooker and Jackson made their feature film debut with the Sundance favorite “This Revolution”, Jackson serving as the films director of photography and Crooker co-editing and co-starring along-side Rosario Dawson and Amy Redford. Crooker recently wrapped principal photography for his latest feature “Matutinal Reverie” while Jackson has finished shooting a contemporary adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s classic, “A Picture of Dorian Gray.”.

When GoodGuys are not shooting you can find Jackson rock climbing and Crooker lost somewhere overseas.
