I intended to publish this just before I went into hospital in early April, but never got around to uploading the video or this blog post.
After many false starts, failed attempts, and procrastination on my part, I have finally managed to create my first Wargaming Miscellany YouTube video!
It is a very simple explanation about my wargaming background and why I have created the Wargaming Miscellany YouTube channel. Art it isn't ... but everyone has to start somewhere so that they can learn from their mistakes and gradually improve.
(I started out trying to film myself but just could not get it right. In the end I decided that the quickest way to get started was to produce a PowerPoint presentation with a commentary and then to record it as in mp4 format. It seems to have worked, and has given me the confidence to think about making further videos.)
I have no idea what the next video will be about, but it will appear sometime soon ... I hope!
The video can be seen using this link.

Bravo, Bob! There are many Hobby YouTube channels that have the image and voice over format as opposed to the "talking head" model. Perhaps your launch experience has shown you the mode going forward?
ReplyDeleteEd M,
DeleteI have watched a lot of YouTube videos and decided that - with some excellent exceptions - the 'talking heads' ones were generally less interesting than those that used images and voice overs. As a result, I decided that was the format I would use, at least initially.
All the best,
Bob
Well done Bob an excellent start.

Bravo Bob! I look forward to your next video. In the long term, have you considered filming a Portable Wargame using stop frame animation, so that the troops appear to move from one square to another under their own volition? I saw a chess game filmed that way on television years ago and it seemed the perfect way to present wargames.

DeleteCheers! I must admit that I had not thought about making a move-by-move video of a Portable Wargame ... but it is an excellent one!
All the best,
Bob
Good start! Looking forward to more. I have subscribed.

I am looking forward to more of your videos. Hopefully you will do some playthroughs of your various periods. I personally like watching videos of games being played.
