  • The pencil box, revisited

    As part of my ongoing efforts with videos, I recorded my recent wood working project to craft an art pencil box for the wife.  Following the project, I had several hours of footage, which I finally managed to start to tackle last night.  Audio is non-existent – the video camera mic is terrible, and I…

  • Video quality

    In my continuing effort to produce better quality in my videos, I have focused previously on the audio, and very successfully (from my perspective) resolved much of the concerns with an upgrade to a dedicated audio recorder (the Zoom H1 audio recorder to be exact).  This device works very well, has a strong pickup, and…

  • Rise of the Runelords, Chapter 3.3 (video)

    Finished the initial edit of the latest game, with the full game video.  Tried a different technique, due to the angle of the camera.  Given its position (and lack of a zoom), there was a lot of surrounding view of the group and activity.  Although its not really an issue, it does tend to be…

  • Video opportunities

    Since I have been attempting to film various activities over the last few weeks, I have started to notice that the interest level and opportunities for filming are actually becoming more common.  It is almost as if having used the process, I am more in tune with it, and are seeing more options.  But more…

  • Upgraded memory

    Following the video failure during the last Pathfinder game, I opted to update the memory cards in the camera.  As such, I now have a pair of 32 GB cards, which combined should allow for at least 5 hours worth of video.  Unfortunately, that is the largest size of memory card the camera will hold,…

  • Rise of the Runelords, Chapter 3.2 (video)

    Another round of the Pathfinder campaign, continuing Chapter 3 of the Rise of the Runelords this time.  The group of 10 adventurers are still at level 7, but after their success in the second chapter, managed to gather a small number of magical items to assist with their questing, and have begun to explore the…

  • Star Wars Armada – Advanced Gunnery

    Another Star Wars Armada fleet engagement video was posted, this time with the mission, Advanced Gunnery.  One small mistake in the fleets, we realized shortly after the start that Minister Tua was a waste of points in the configuration, so the Empire really only had 395 pts for the game.  Of particular note in the…

  • Star Wars Armada

    Played another game of Armada with George on Friday (video will be posted likely in a few days), using my same fleet makeup for the Rebellion as before.  George altered his fleet, to include the massive Imperial Star Destroyer, two small destroyers, and only a small number of squadrons.  The game was hard fought, but…
