Video Kag Channel

Since I'm in game a good deal of time I thought it would be a good idea to start making gameplay vids and to film events that happen in game, perhaps attracting more people or to just watch if you dont feel like playing, whatever the case may be.



Anyway here is my first vid of just a random ctf match and ill probablly try not to make them so long so it doesnt get too boring

 

I was enjoying that video until the horrible screaming started, then I had to turn it off :<

You'll still always be second best to me, Overlord <3

 

Yea I dident want that last song there either, I should've edited it before I uploaded >;/

-I was just filming while listening to my music so I dident place it there purposely, except the first one that was intended :)

 

Wow, so many subforums added never seen that...

 

Moved for you, man.

Great to see more KAG videos, but I dunno if everyone else feels the same way but I think average KAG match footage is pretty boring tbh. Maybe just show the exciting bits?

When I was making videos, I tried to keep to the following rules:

- Don't show me dying.
- Don't go more than 10 seconds without killing something.
- Keep the video less than 4 minutes long.

Not saying you need to follow those rules, but I'm just saying you could cut out the boring parts a bit more.

 

Thanks mate.

I agree good points, I was thinking of just keeping them between 3-5 mins each and like you said just post the worthy parts, unlike mining for coins like I was : P

This was basically just to get vid up and running so I can start working on better ones.

 

love the music :D

EDIT- know where i can get the games music? i looked it up on youtube and its only with actual game play (which isnt bad btw)

 

Haha Overlord, that last kill was a weird one. :p

 

Haha yeah, I dont know what happened there.

Also do you guys prefer the music with it or just the kag sfx?
(more like the first song I mean)

 

Indeed liked it much more before the terrifying music.. didn't bother to watch the rest, gotta admit :D
I would suggest you to use slight zoom when there's nothing in the sides that the viewer should see. This helps those who aren't so familiar with the game to understand what's going on.
Also cropping the uninteresting parts and adding a little effects will make it much more interesting, since I agree that KAG gameplay without commentary is boring to watch.

 

I'll probably start doing some commentary's soon, as for effects I don't have much of those at my disposal with windows movie maker :( but at least I can skip the boring parts.

 

I am not that familiar with windows movie maker, but try to render the video in a 16:9 video format, in other words, widescreen. Youtube switched over a back while ago, all videos are in widescreen format. So if you have a video in a 4:3 your video will recieve those black bars at the sides. That is pillarboxing.

Some ordinary resolutions for 16:9 aspect ratio.
640x360, 960x540, 1024×576, 1280×720.

It is really easy to find sites that gives your more resolutions in the same format. I usually went with 1280x720.

It is important that you don't render the video in a resolution that is higher than the source material, then it will stretch and look silly. Find out what resolution your video files are recorded into and then render it in the same size. I found that to give the best result, obviously.

If you ever goes for commentary, programs like audacity and wavepad are much better. Recording your voice onto a different track of its own gives you so much better control over the audio levels, the above mentioned programs are also free, wavepad has a masters edition that costs money, and they come with tools that allows you to get rid of background noises and other stuff.

 

Thanks for the comments guys, im sure ill put some of them to use.
I havent forgotten about this channel, ill be sure to upload more soon when im not so noob with filming :)

Alright guys I just figured out what the damn password for it was since I haven't logged onto it since I made that first video. So I'll try to be making some good kag beta videos soon with some edits without having to watch me respawn

 

@Overlord
Your video is very nice, good to see KAG players uploading videos. Always find it interesting to watch ^^
Look forward to your beta videos :)

Thanks,
Arturs
