Thanks for all of your feedback everyone, the support whilst we figure out the best way of doing this through trial and error and muddle through the technical issues that come with producing content is massively appreciated.
@Mertaal - I agree, Eagle porn is for winner! I love my Eagle. It isn't the Gwaihir finecast version, the pose of which I'm not as keen on anyway but I did ask Jamie the question... Is it ok to use another Eagle as Gwaihir, considering an eagle is an eagle? He pretty much agreed, that as long as a player that was taking Gwaihir and multiple eagles had a non confusing way for his opponent to differentiate between them, that it shouldn't be a problem, especially as there is no size or even weight difference between the two. It would be interesting to hear whether the rest of the forum agreed?
So yeah, we got to see it barge models into a river to get to a shaman, as well as throw that shaman into the river... THAT was pretty awesome. And as you say, it compliments Rohan well, mainly because of the movement. Whereas something like Treebeard might be great if you're taking a foot army (what a beast!) it isn't going to keep up with the type of movement required to make a cavalry list effective. The high fight compliments the array of fight 5 heroes too, as this is one of the main Rohan hero issues, thus saving might for more Heroic moves and less heroic strikes!
I have no idea about the Spider Queen rules so we'll have to ask Jamie (perhaps another One Ringer can assist??)
I'm glad our enthusiasm is coming across! Especially in light of our camera issues and production teething problems! I appreciate that comment and it motivates us to do more.
I also agree that it can only be a good thing to have another LOTR/The Hobbit SBG channel getting batreps out there, particularly ones which entertain as much as demonstrate. Have we got that balance?
I think we'll continue to experiment... I'm still using the iphone for now and I seem to have figured out how to hold it and not cover the mic too and I'm pretty proud of the batrep being released tonight (keep an eye out, it's uploading now, 378 minutes to go!)
We filmed with Jamie's new camera yesterday and I think for his style of batrep, he's trying the combination of a table shot and the handheld camera to get the action. You'll all have to let us know which styles you prefer but it's good to know that you feel we've got the important bit right
It's good to know Monsters can be thrown if you're a higher strength, can anyone confirm this?
@suicidalmarsbar - Haha yes, it was very cinematic! Jamie would probably have used a might point to stop me from doing this if we weren't filming but we agreed why not, it'll look cool and introduce new rules to some players.
Thank Ste for the feedback, I'm making you famous tonight!
And Crixalis, we appreciate the feedback,. Honestly, it was pretty impossible in the Mumak battle to get a wide shot but I get plenty of those shots in on the battle that's being uploaded tonight, so you'll have to let me know if it's an improvement, just comment on the video. Jamie is also experimenting with having the main camera just recording the table all game so we'll see which styles people prefer.
@Armandhammer and Mertaal - I agree, I think I prefer the video as one video, although we don't want the batreps to be lasting longer than 30 minutes and this latest one did go on for a long time, with lots of reshooting lost footage. We also lost the immediate post batrep breakdown so I just did it myself at home and uploaded it separately. The one tonight is all together so you'll have to let us know what you think about it
