Basement Batreps - GW Tournament #3

[tylertt]

Hey Hive, just wanted to share my gaming groups YouTube channel with you all.

We will be doing batreps, tactica and potentially terrain tips and the like if I ever have spare time from painting my Nids & Marines.

Anyways, a little about us:
Were just a group of a few friends who have always enjoyed reading and watching batreps online. We felt that we wanted to give back to the community a bit so we started our own channel to toss some batreps and the sort up to share.

I know our armies are not all painted, and all, but some of us got school and work quite a lot so we chip away at our armies as best we possibly can, so forgive us on that part. We may also mess a few rules up occasionally, but PLEASE no hating, and if there is something we missed or forgot, a friendly reminder is always appreciated!

Thanks guys, enjoy, and subscribe if you have a YouTube account.

Just finished up a report of a battle between my Tyranids and some Eldar. Played one of the Altar of War missions.

Thanks for the bat rep. I like the effect that you guys used with the destroyed vehicle. I might have to borrow that idea...

Would you consider showing more of the actual turn? As in dice rolling, actual movement...and perhaps an explanation of why you're doing things as your doing them? I realize that it would add a lot more editing work, but it should be worth the effort IMO.

Again...thanks for the share

[tylertt]

Definitely we will do more of those ones! We are doing both styles. When we don't have time for the full voice over ones we will be doing the recaps. But I do greatly prefer the style you mentioned.

We do have one of those videos, but I lost the footage for the second half of it. It is on our channel .

I liked the way it is presented, very professional looking.

Very enjoyable

nice gameboard.

[tylertt]

Greatly appreciate it guys!

Our goal is to have at least one type of batrep up per week and a tactica video or two. I'm going to tryout some new tactics and hopefully help shed some real time table top experience on this new dex.

It has been decent so far but the trouble I am having is consistency with the units.

[eeknight]

What video editing software do you use? I like your graphics very much.

[DukeMantis]

Nice battle report, i too would like to know what software you use, im using Vegas Pro10

[tylertt]

I'm using Imovie for editing. It was a irritating program to use at first but after a couple videos it became a lot easier.

I wanted to use vegas, but of course it won't run on my Mac .

My unsolicited opinions....

Camera movement is dangerous, the less you do, the better off you are. For example, a wider shot on the army and just point to the units as you say what they are. Often a cut is better than following the camera from point to point.
Your camera takes a while to focus, this exacerbates the problem, anytime you move the camera it loses focus.

It is nice having good graphics to use with the report.

[tylertt]

Yeah we have a really cheap camera unfortunately right now. I am going to purchase a better one in the near future once funds allow for it.

Also thanks for the input on the camera movement as well. Definitely will work to eliminate this in our future batreps.

[coredump]

Hey, want to apologize. Meant to write a lot more, but had to stop due to children. So it comes off a bit more abrupt/harsh than I intended.

[tylertt]

No worries at all man, I greatly appreciate the advice and suggestions. Go to make sure we are putting out good videos so people will get the most they can out of it.
