I do like the format of:
1. speeding up the Movement
2. Labeling what's happening in red (although, as the one comment suggested yellow would do better against that mostly green table)

I suggest interspersing the occasional angled shot. Also, see if you can get a Game Turn in under 3 minutes of Viewing Time, meaning a lot more accelerated shooting/FXs. 25 to 30 minutes to watch a Batrep of a whole game is too long.

Dear Brother: Thank you for your ideas. This Game is the test for the over lay we will be adding more views in new Bat Raps. This game we only have top down

I love it ! What software lets you do that? It looks great and I cant wait to see more!

We are not ready to disclose the process.

Very nice with the camera facing down on the battlefield. Waiting for the next part.

nice use of casting. how did you mount the camera above the table?

The camera was Mounted on a Frame that is used to hold up back drops. We literally tied it up with plastic from a Tau Starter box that was in the trash.

The format is nice, I like the table too!

Thank you so much. The table is one made by The Chicago battle Bunker staff. If you get a chance you should go they have really really nice tables to play on.

Really interesting way of filming that mate. I do agree that you should intersperse the top-down stuff with close in shots of the models (especially if you use painted armies) to give a bit more of a sense of the action. Maybe start the game by panning around the table to let everyone see the terrain as you do?

And also, even a very interesting battle report, I wouldn't really watch for more than 15 minutes max. I'd try to get it down to 10-12 minutes for a whole report. That should be manageable for up to a 2k game.

Really wish I could! Unfortunately, that ticket out to the US would cost be a lot of money!!!

Hey I bounty: U agree This is the test game the next vid is 6 min so i hope you watch

That was a fantastic report. I really do hope you make more of these!

Truly original with the over-head view as well.
