New Video Setup

Recently, my wife got an early birthday present in the form of a Canon S100- a fairly high end point and shoot camera. While playing around with it, I thought I'd try using it and a few fluorescent desk lamps to see what kind of painting tutorial video I could shoot. WOW is the result. For comparison, here's an old video I did for Battlefront almost a year ago:



You can definitely see the difference in resolution, horizontal bar artifacts from the lights, and focusing problems. There's virtually none of that using the S100, and the color is much more vibrant and not so washed out. I'm thrilled, and looking forward to doing more over the coming weeks...

VIDEO- 40K Campaign "Ghemehaal: Annihilation" Turn 4

Video update/batrep for our 40K campaign- thanks in advance for checking it out!

I FINALLY Sorted the Video Editing Problem

Apparently A LOT of Sony Vegas users have similar problems with "low memory" errors, and I was no different. Fortunately, I found a video tutorial that showed how to change the registry of Vegas to make it fully utilize ALL of the RAM my computer has. As soon as I did, the low memory errors stopped and I had no problem editing and rendering a very late Turn 3. Assuming all goes well, I'm going to put in hobby overtime this week and try to get Turns 4 and 5 done by Friday. Thanks for being patient campaign players! :)

VIDEO- 40K Campaign "Ghemehaal: Annihilation" Turn 2

Today we'll be playing Turn 3 in the campaign, and here's our video update for all the Turn 2 action. Thanks for checking it out- comments and rates most welcome! :)

VIDEO- 40K Campaign "Ghemehaal: Annihilation" Turn 1

We didn't completely finish Turn 1 until this past Friday evening, hence the Turn 1 update coming out a little later than we wanted. However, we completely finished Turn 2 as well, so we will have our scheduled Turn 2 update online this coming Friday. Thanks for following the campaign! If you haven't already, subscribe, comment, and rate our video. We sincerely appreciate your support for the campaign!

The Campaign Has Begun

I've clearly not gotten enough Krieg painting done, but I have been hard at work learning more about working with video. We're going to try and do a weekly video update on this blog's YouTube channel, and tonight we've published an intro to the campaign:



We're learning as we go, and it's fun to work with this relatively new medium for me. Firestorm is a great system, and after only one turn we're having a blast. Once we get into the groove of things I'll start working on the Krieg again, but for now I've got my hands full running this campaign and chronicling the progress...

VIDEO- Painting Desert Bases

At last! After two days of failed attempts to upload this thing, I've finally gotten my first humble video done for the blog:



This video covers in detail how I base my Death Korps models, which are themed with a "rocky desert" idea. I had a lot of fun playing around with editing and painting the base (of course!), and this is basically the first trial run. Future vids will include more tutorials, future Legio Malaysia battle reports, campaign video newsletters, and other wacky stuff I'm sure we'll think of in the future. In the meantime enjoy, and I'd love to hear comments! :) If you liked the video, be sure to click the subscribe button so you'll be the first to see all of my future efforts.
