I've found that a voice over with a shot of the table at the end of each turn, works for me. Show the whole table, give a brief overview and then zoom in on important places and get into a little bit more detail if something really important happened. (I realize my last video failed on that)

I do this while recording the footage, some people do it on a separate voice over while editing. Some people show the whole game with just a camera. I hate that but a lot of people like it. Getting something between 5-15 mins while stillf giving an accurate description of the turn seems to be the sweet spot for me but to each their own.

This turned out better than expected. Sorry for the escalation.

No worries.

One of the best reports I've seen in a while. I think what this shows is that Tau are not that strong when there is LOS blocking terrain. There just needs to be more of that in games.

The Riptide seemed to be plagued by misses. Why no marker lights?

Things I liked:
MVP and LVP discussion.
The long post game interview.
Lack of ambient noise.
Brevity of introduction.
The terrain was beautiful
The armies were spectacular. The tau really "pop" on video. I can tell the RG are well painted but it's hard to pick up because of the black. But that's RG...

Thanks. Made my day.

I really love LUTNITs tau scheme, they're super vibrant on the table. Now I just have to learn to tell the missiles apart lol

Magnificent terrain, great looking armies and very nice report. Loved the interviews at the end.

The army in the video is literally everything I have painted at the moment. I can just make 1500pts without having to take weird, useless upgrades.
I'm finishing the 6th crisis team and a second riptide (both already started before I realized I really needed markerlights) and then pathfinders are absolutely next.

That was an outstanding table the terrain was intricate well thought out and had a great sense of scale. I also like how not everything is a burntout ruin with windows and half its walls missing.
the models were well painted and there was a great sense of care and attention given to each one. fantastic job. I will agree with celtic that you guys could use a bit more energy when your doing turn recaps, but hell, for me the models and the terrain were A+.

what happened with the end killing both the terminator and chaplain on overwatch were they joined as a unit? my apologies if this was explained in the post game.

Its something we missed out on explaining; I'd joined them both together to charge the suit and he rolled two 6s on overwatch, wounded twice and then i promptly failed both saves

Beautiful terrain and models in this batrep! The GW store and the tiny fliers were great touches.

Well done.

I really liked this style of report. Everybody spoke clearly, you have a good quality camera and great looking terrain & armies.

Looking forward to the next one.

Do you guys every play Kill Team? It be nice to see some of your bat rep style in that setting.

Oh and btw your "little camera big results" thread is great.

You guys need to do some more VBR. I like them a lot. But nothing for 6 weeks or so.

We had a bit of a hiatus, I had a lot of science to do and there was a lot of tounament prep on top of that. We shot a st patty's day one, just had some issues uploading it but the good news is it should be up later today

I'll look for it
