The Media Room
Welcome to the Media Room. This is the place that you will find pictures, video and articles of past events and games. This will be updated and pages will be archived as we go so that you can always go back and relive those special moments. If all goes according to plan and with the help of the team's videographer (Rodney Mattrisch), we are hoping to post short edited highlight video clips of that week's game here as well. This way if you didn't get a chance to see the game in person, you can still see at least the highlights.
The World of Video by Rodney Mattrisch
Another one of today's modern technologies is video. While pictures serve their purpose, nothing beats video for you not only catch images, but you catch "moving" images along with sound. Video plays a major roll in football today. Coaches not only have the luxury of watching how their team is performing, they have the luxury of watching their opponents ahead of time so that they can better prepare for that opponent.
Now for us fans, video serves a different purpose. We watch it so we can see what we may have missed or in most cases, we get the opportunity to watch something over again to relive that treasured moment.
Of course not everything is worth filming. Greendale football is! I invite you to browse around this site for you might find some interesting or entertaining items. We will be making every attempt to upload pictures and video from each game. Some of the video items may take a while to download, but I can assure you that it will be worth the wait. Who knows, if you were in the stands at a game, you might even see yourself. Smile!
The Guys that bring it all to you in living color!

Year End Season Videos
The last several years, Rodney Mattrisch and his partners Chuck Cairns and Chris Ksobiech have been willing to combine their talents to put together a highlight video that captures the essences of the entire season. These guys do it because they enjoy their hobby and they enjoy the game of football. Putting together something like this takes many many hours. A general rule of thumb we were told was that it takes one hour of editing time to edit just one minute of finished video. This includes all aspects of editing.
The season may seem like it's over after the last ball is kicked or the last touchdown scored, but that is not so for these guys. They are still sitting behind a PC putting together what will soon be the ultimate memorial keepsake. When these guys are asked why they do it, they simply say, "Because they wished someone would have done this for them back in their era."
