WebDog Updates

New tip vids online at SPLATMagazine.com!

2008-06-03T21:44:00.001-05:00

So a lot of you have been wondering "where did Webdog go?" It never left, it's just spreading out.

Rob "Tyger" Rubin has been filming pieces for "Splat XD", the brand new digital magazine available now. Oh, and it's 100% FREE. Yep. Head over to http://www.splatmagazine.com/, and hook yourself up with Splat XD FOR FREE.

What's in it? Well, a video article on misdirection and woods ball, but there's a HECK of a lot more in there! Pro tactics, hot chicks, event coverage, hot chicks, gear being held by hot chicks.... AND VIDEO! HOURS of exclusive video you can't get anywhere else!

The current plan is to make this a monthly e-Zine. And as long as you guys ask for it, they'll keep asking me to film for them. So jam the in-boxes too, and let 'em know that they need more Tyger!

FPS 17, refound and edited, now online!

2008-01-21T03:07:00.000-06:00

FPS 17, Featuring the Grey Ghost 2006 is finally up and online on youtube. From April of last year, I lost the footage but recently re-found it.

I left a lot of stuff out, but this is a lot better because of it. Grey Ghost '06 review coming soon! And, as usual, It's on youtube, as well as downloadable on the WDR site.

FPS video updates

2007-10-09T03:48:00.000-05:00

FPS 21 is online, youtube and on the main website. We've also made FPS 19 available as a high resolution video as well, available on the Webdog FPS site.

FPS 19 on Youtube

2007-08-13T05:59:00.000-05:00

If there is sufficient interest, I'll place the high-res WMV on the WDR site.

keep circulating the tapes

FPS 18 online

2007-05-20T02:34:00.000-05:00

Or you can download it from the WebDog site.

I hate to say it, but this is going to be the last FPS video until I can get a new cam, get this one fixed, or something. The video quality should speak for itself as to why.

Keep circulating the tapes!

Behind the scenes at FPS

2007-04-05T04:13:00.000-05:00

Two videos have just been released in a "behind the scenes" look at the tech and gear used in the Web Dog Radio FPS series.

They're available on youtube(part 1 here, part 2 here), or at the Web Dog main site.

New music video is LIVE!

2007-01-15T05:55:00.000-06:00

It's been a while since we've done a straight-forward music video, so it's about time to remedy that. We went over to Factory with the Gunfighters and filmed a pump day. And before you ask, not everyone had a pump gun. It's a style of play, not a hardware issue. Good times had by all, and this is a "brain candy" mix of the best of the day that we captured on tape.

It's available for download on the Web Dog main site, or also on youtube and google video for your blogging / easy-to-share needs. Or get a preview here!

And remember, we are trained pump paintball players. Do not attempt any of the stunts you see in this video at home. We mean that. And if you do, don't blame us if you hurt yourself.

Oh, and 90% of your questions can be answered in the credits. Like where we played, and the song, and all that.

Tyger interviewed on Blast Radius Woodsball Podcast

2006-12-02T15:42:00.000-06:00

Rob "Tyger" Rubin was interviewed by "Blast Radius Woodsball Podcast"! You can download an MP3 of the interview, or just listen to the interview, at the Blast Radius Podcast site, or by using this link to go straight to episode 13.

WDR shows on indefinite hold

2006-10-28T06:35:00.000-05:00

Well I guess an explanation is in order.

The 'Dog was moved to a better server, so now you can watch all the vids with a better connection coming from the source here. So if any files are missing, PLEASE contact me and not the Spec Ops staff. It's through their generosity that WDR has a home, and I am grateful for the hosting they provide. But Webdog, and Spec Ops, are growing and there's the occasional "growing pain" as servers are swapped. But in the end, the videos are still here, and the service was, hopefully, uninterrupted.

Now, the not so easy to explain part. I know you all are asking "where's the new tip clip shows?" Paintball is a game done best outside, for the most part. And filming Webdog is no different. The weather, as of late, has been not cooperating with filming. It's either raining or going to rain, for the most part. So we haven't been able to put any new film down for the tip clips.

Match that with the joy of technological disasters on my end. The digital video camera went down for no adequately explained reason, and so did the helmetcam. I think it's a wiring problem, but one I can't fix here. So in the next few weeks EVERYTHING is going back to the metaphorical "shop" for hopeful repairs. If they can't fix the problems, then I'm gonna try to get new gear. Operative word is "try". You all know my budget as well as I do.

What does this mean? Web Dog is, temporarily, a closed shop. The FPS series as well as the Tip Clip bonus shows are on indefinite hold while we sit it out and wait for a lot of factors to come back into favor. Mainly those of weather, technology, and the wishful thinking that I manage to not injure myself again. But snowboard
season is around the corner, so there's no guarantee on the last part.

All this said, looking over on the film schedule there are six shows that haven't been hit yet. These include the "grenade" show, a show about indoor play, winter play, an "advanced trix" show, a technology show about radios, and others. As soon as we can get back out there, we'll be filming again. There is also one episode that has been filmed, but refuses to come off the tape cleanly. We'll keep plugging away at that one and see if we can't make it work.

There's a possibility of taking a few of the shows at an indoor location, but that involves finding one that will let us invade for a day or so to get some filming in. But as soon as we can, announcements will be made in the usual places, as well as this webspace.

"Hyperactive" beatbox paintball on youtube

2006-09-21T17:48:00.000-05:00

I watched "Hyperactive" by Lasse Gjertsen, and it looked interesting. So, I took the FPS footage I've shot, combined a few of them together, and came up with this. It's got more of a backbeat that Gjertsen's, and it's a lot shorter too. But, for a 2 hour project, I'm really happy with it. And considering I didn't go through more than a dozen videos out of the hundreds of clips from FPS... It's a lot of fun stuff.

Available on google video and youtube. If there's demand I'll make the .wmv file available on the webdog server too.

Or watch Lasse Gjertsen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9698TqtY4A and see what got me thinking to do this.

FPS 14 online

2006-09-19T05:17:00.000-05:00

FPS 14 is now available for download. http://webdog.specialopspaintball.com/video/fps/FPS14.html

This episode is called "Entrapment". It's what happens when you put about 7 "Ronin" players into a safehouse in the middle of a huge airball field, then put 100 X 100 players against each other on the main field. They're trying to capture ten flags in the middle of the field for their own team. We were given the job of discouraging them. What followed was half an hour of mayhem.

Originally, this was to be a "ghillie" episode, but due to bad planning on my part I missed on playing in the woods that day. I'll try to make it up to you all next episode.

It's also available at youtube & google video, or just look below and click for instant gratification.

FPS 13 online

2006-08-27T04:33:00.000-05:00

FPS 13 will no, at this time, be on the main site. I don't think it's up to quality of a normal show, but I did want to show the footage off.

Also, there IS a fun reel of the ending shot available as well.

FPS 12 online

2006-08-23T03:35:00.000-05:00

FPS 11 is online!

2006-05-30T04:57:00.000-05:00

Last year I developed a weakness for FFC paintball. "Family Fun Center", those places with go-karts and bating cages and mini golf? Yeah. I love playing paintball at them. Mind you it's a total dice shoot, you could play with 13 year olds, you could play with a bachelor party, you could get nobody there at all and go play video games instead.

So this installment was at Action Territory in Kenosha. Played with the SC Phanton and much to my surprise there were people there with DYS 'Trix's and so on. Well, you'll see how well it went. You can go to the WDR server on Special Ops to download the WMV, or it's on google and youtube. OR, just click below.

FPS Update : OZZIE OZZIE OZZIE

2006-05-24T21:32:00.000-05:00

So what happens when you put an onboard camera on an Australian?

You get this. Aussie Bloke (AKA "Pup") put together an FPS style video of playing "down under". I had to do some work on it, I had to turn the image 180 degrees as all his footage looked upsidedown...

(I can joke like this, he's half a globe away and he can't kick my tail...)

So the site updated with somoene else's FPS camera. This is really cool to me, because I want to see what other people are doing. And honestly I'm tired of looking at myself all this time. So thank the OZ-man for the new FPS video!

And before you ask, if you have an FPS style video you'd consider sharing from WDR, PM or e-mail me. What I ask is that you host the vid on a private site so it can be reviewed, and then we'll go from there.

Animation videos now on youtube

2006-05-24T18:44:00.000-05:00

In a fit of inspiration, we've decided to put a couple of the animations up on youtube for your amusement and entertainment.

First is the MRI video from my infamous back surgery.

Second is a birthday present to William Shatner from '04

Enjoy!

Castle Conquest at EMR always advertizes itself as "Pure Mayhem". And this event did NOT dissapoint. It's available at the WDR Special Ops server, through this link. OR you can see a version on you-tube below. But honestly, I'd go to the WDR site and download it. You can actually see a lot more detail in the WMV's. But, if you're jonesing for a fix, here you go.
