I've got a new video battle report uploaded today, from my game with He Who Shall Remain Nameless yesterday. We played Tyranid Attack from the Battle Missions book, so it wasn't really a standard game; with that in mind, I had a bit of fun with it.
Here it is, Daemons Vs Blood Angels.
I definitely like the voice over style. Your commentary does not get washed out by the back ground noise, and it allows you to avoid the snide comments that tend to float in when you are recording.
ReplyDeleteI think you could also do this over the video and have it work out well. You could use the original description as notes for you and voice it over with more concise descriptions of what is happening.

ReplyDeleteWhat snide comments?
Oh, the peanut gallery! I thought you meant me - I'm still sensitive from being called 'snarky' over on YTTH. (Though in fairness, I was kinda snarky on the video they were referring to.)
ReplyDeleteYea, I know what you mean. It's hard to talk over the guys, much less the background noise of the card gamers.
Doing it later also gives me perspective on what happened. I just have to avoid any 'brilliance in hindsight.' I actually deleted one section when I realized that I was taking credit for something I didn't mean to do. It wasn't deliberate, but you get going on something, and we all of us think we're better than we are.
I don't know about this one. It was kind of hard to follow.
ReplyDeleteI actually like the voice over rather than the live talking.
ReplyDeleteAN interesting idea is to do two of these. Same pics, both players voicing over there thoughts.
Kind of a Perspectives thing.
Whit - you're right about it being hard to follow; since the game was cut short when Dale (I'm going to stop messing with him, even though I think He Who Shall Not Be Named is a funnier nickname) gave it up, I didn't have much to work with. I decided to use that material to experiment.
ReplyDeleteI like Homer's idea. It's not hard to capture narrations, as long as your computer has a mic. Both players could record there thoughts about the game turns.
Ah well! I still have video for I think 3 battle reports, including the Hard Boyz practice game me and Whit played.

I use a USB headset mic to record my voice... it's worth it since I was already using it for a bit of online gaming with MM(ESNO), EH, Farseer Tim, etc on EQ2 a while back.
ReplyDeleteI do have a (MUCH MUCH) better mic, but most people's computer speakers are crap and it's far more convenient to use a simple USB headset mic.
I wished I had watched this before our last game. Maybe castling up in the center might have helped actually give you a game. D'oh!
