Lets Play! Saturday 7th September - 21:00 BST / 16:00 EDT / 13:00 PDT

Only if I get entrance music!
Doing commentary was fun, I don't think I was as animated as you - but you lead the way and I was there trying to keep pace. I think the commentary videos will add a cool dimension to these events they generate some overhead that I am not interested in supporting myself.

I do want to play most of these though, my intentions are not entirely selfless!

So ideally I don't want to build up anything that requires too much actual work. I'm aiming for something that means eventually <optimism>everyone just knows to show up and play and the whole thing runs itself </optimism>. However if a few people want to spec and commentate and turn out some cool videos I don't want to stop that because it shows a really cool side of the community, so I'll consider passing necessary privileges to those people to do it, I'm also up for participating but not all the time.

I would hope none, your commentary voice was A1++
I had a great time chatting shit though.

 

Ask reznov to come out of retirement, I already asked him if he is willing to edit videos for empires if we ever got that far.

Give him the footage and im sure he can add some magic.

 

Nothing is cut, Iam just adding some battle music and trying to match it with video as much as possible...but thats pretty hard in this kind of video because its just one whole video so I can only try to match the music to the vid, not vice versa

Also doing some "camera edit"

It wont be perfect as Iam already having some points that I dont like on it, like for example I should change my way of specing / camera movement a bit.

and I was recording without HUD so no minimap and a bit bad situation awareness as without HUD the recording is a bit hard as I have no idea whats going on in some area and simply recording from demos just looks terrible (which would solve a lot of my issues), as it seems to make some weird stuttering.

Basicly just trying to make it a bit more interesting.

In a style of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fBkzmHEW8E (a bit old vid)

This vid is pretty bad quality, yes I know :D just talking about the style of it.
The difference is that in a commentary video, I cant be cutting like that. So even harder to sync music.

(there are 5 parts of this video btw, dont forget to read description)
[ BigTeef if you like Battlestar Galactica, you are gonna like this video XD ]

But TBH, would put more effort if we could get more interesting round and actually with some real heavies finally.

 

The emoticons are putting me off.

I think we should have a rotation of people who can commentate so other people can get to play.
If we have a dynamic team of people who can talk we should be fine. We also need a Fact checker for when I give misinformation about the game.

I wanted to do a podcast for empires and make it a regular thing but it never got off the ground because essentially the one person we needed didn't have time.
Now he does have time but for some reason we just have not done it yet.

And if Neeony is going to be our overall camera guy I think we can just pool him footage and he can play with it.
GoFly's thing crapped out at the last second because of HD space. If we just have one guy to do everything with editing and directing, we can have more people capture footage and create a media team.

 

oh, and we really need to be recording the voices on TS3 because the ingame voice is just terribly terrible (slaughtered commentary is not really watchable)
And when teef gets a bit excited, its just terribly peaking.

 

What was there to get excited about?

I'd still watch it anyway.

 

Same question really, those games were hardly the stuff of legends.

 

omg...you never played with teef, or something?


:D


But other than that what I mean is that the ingame audio (cannons and stuff) when its full server on slaughtered is just completely pushing voice chat and even the ingame sound itself, so that its skipping, peaking and the most worst part is that when u zoom out the camera, all the volumes are still the same XD

It isnt as big problem on other maps mostly

 

Well, thats empires audio for you.

 

empires audio is inspired

 

Did I really enhance the experience?

 

well, you did add some tension in tense situations like apc rushes or etc...

along with the peaking in the mic

 

I turned it down by 20 decimals

 

Are you guys finally going to upload it? :D

 

You haven't seen it yet?

 

A-z-K, you always have such attractive titles. Thanks for keeping this shitty community alive.

 

We're doing just fine. Right guys? guys....
