I think most events ought to be more scripted, but that's just me. Glad to see my freakout at getting lit up with my buddy for several prolonged seconds while screaming hit as loud as I could made it in to the video. I was behind a tree the size of one of my legs. There was no way I wasn't dead. Christ.

You're never going to get the video you want without a crew of cameras, preferably a mix of fixed, free roaming, AND embedded with players.

It's generally okay to walk up to people in a fire fight and hold a camera up to them, when they are being sneaky bastards like tool, they tend to complain about it, though, so you end up with 8 minutes of replicas firing or people looking from cover.

I did take my vest off and embed with APST for a little while in this one, that's why you see a lot of APST footage. I figured they wouldn't mind and if they did, I wouldn't of cared. But in hindsight I wouldn't do that again with Matt's gear as I was already paranoid and thinking about the things I'd have to sell if something happened while doing it.

In short, you're not going to get the production quality you want from two admins/cameramen with borrowed equipment.

One thing I think should be done is having all the radio channels recorded and edited into the videos in the future, assuming there's viable information for the viewer.

Radio recordings for video would be cool if, they didn't consist of "There's a guy behind that tree" and hours of useless conversation because someone is hot-micing....

Cool video

Nicely done.

Radio would be pretty cool, but like Catch said, I wouldn't want to be the guy trying to splice together 9 hours of VOXing and "I NEED HELP!" from 4 or 5 different channels...

I really liked it. Especially Juntos rant. I kid you not, I was crying with laughter.

At the latest FW's, Kabilia comms ran very smoothly. I never really heard "I need help over here". It was all, "I need help on the south side of the village. 5-7 enemy moved left to right to reinforce. Send reinforcements when able."

Of course, I think I was probably on the radio more than anyone else, and I wasn't even the commander.... :?

thats the way we run.

At the beginning of the game I whispered into the ear of each TL the channel we were on. unless they were told by their TL no one knew what channel command was on
