Today I started working on the design of the second scenario.
Part way through, my new tripod arrived! So I decided that a quick test of tripod and fairly new phone was required.
No, don't worry, I'm not planning to quit my dayjob.
Now to play test the scenario and schedule the two GM training games.

Excellent video quality! What are you using for your camera?
ReplyDeleteIts an annoying piece of c**p Samsung too-smart-pain=in the-a$$ phone but it's got a pretty decent camera and it gets phone signals even in the hollow we live in so I've got a truce with it.
DeleteVideo seems to be working fine.
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteTable and troops look great and the video is really good.
ReplyDeleteWill you record the games?
I hadn't considered it but I doubt it. I should check what would be involved.
DeleteRoss, the video works fine and it makes a nice job of your table in terms of sharpness and colour richness and probably depth of field. I think short clips like this have a useful place in blogs.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your opening picture is absolutely superb and would be the ideal sort of thing to grace a rulebook.
DeleteThanks, I think my last video clip might be 9 years ago! I should think about it.
DeleteVideo quality excellent, I very much enjoyed seeing it.
ReplyDeleteAfter a test today, I don't think the video game will be as good.
DeleteI'm looking forward to your Netflix series....
ReplyDeleteI'll be waiting for their call now..
DeleteWonderful little video Ross, really shows off your troops and terrain. And of course great to hear your dulcet tones :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Hopefully practice will help.
DeleteLooking forward to exercising the troops.
ReplyDeleteI've done one on one video and I've done live multiplayer with gm but it will indeed be interesting.
DeleteThat's a useful overview of the table Ross and a good first outing for the tripod. Perhaps pan a little slower next time though?
ReplyDeleteI take it from your answer to Jonathan above that you are in love with your phone? ha,ha,ha,ha!!!
Regards, James
Thanks. I did a me and myself video call today and was disappointed to see that the picture was a little degraded and zooming was blocked. But yes slower is a good idea.
DeleteLights ! Camera ! Action ! , very impressed !
ReplyDeleteDangerous but fun. I hooe it doesn't end with a stop action Prince Valiant action!
DeleteWhat a wonderful result! the thirty seconds covered a tremendous amount of the set up. Can we look forward to more of the same?
ReplyDeleteNo promises but I wouldn't be surprised if there are more. I also expect to be canvassing for players for remote games over video chat in the future. Gotta keep moving with the times or rust!
