Troll Lord on Youtube

Post by Troll Lord »

Here is a link to our Youtube Channel. Please subscribe and you'll be able to see the updates as well as other videos we upload.

Presently we have one of Troll Con V, six from Troll Con VII, and one from LGGC II where Frank Mentzer gave Gary Gygax his edited copy of the Temple of Elemental Evil. This last needs a little editing as it is actually video of the whole convention and includes a bit of nasty language from yours truly.

I like how you use the example of "not wanting to kill a character" for hiding dice rolls via the CK Screen.

That made me LOL.

Nice film again.

I suggest you loose the Dr Pepper cans and replace them with responsible fruit juice and museli bars. We don't want anyone's mother getting the wrong impression about little Johnny's gaming addiction.
It depends on what software you're using to edit the film, but if you're using Microsoft's Movie Maker, may I suggest you experiment with the fade-in and fad-out facility. It will make a much more professional looking film for very little effort.

Lastly, while I have my Tarantino hat on , you may keep the audience's attention a little better if you clearly show the products to the camera while talking. Front AND back covers, slow flick through the pages, etc. That's probably of more interest to people than watching you randomly flicking your mouse, etc. although that has a very first-person engagement to it, like we're really in your office.

Sorry, I'm a university lecturer and have done hundreds and hundreds of hours of public speaking...

Keep it up! I'm looking forward to the next one.

All very good advice! I have no idea about the editing software and shall defer all that to breakdaddy. He's still amazed I manage to turn on the webcam without blowing up the computer and burning the mail room down.

I'll experiment with the close ups. I will have to figure out how to do that without looming at the camera haha But that is a good idea!

No video editing software is being used at all. Steve does all of this himself, surprisingly enough
Anyhow, its all done in real time on the built in software that comes with the logitech webcam pro 9000. He shoots it and posts it. If he ever wants to use video editing software, we would have to train him like one of those accordian playing monkeys, which makes me scared and a little sad.
