New show, first episode featuring Henry Cen, Chris G, Akuma

Might be interesting, but who the hell is going to be ok with you filming them rigging brackets?

You’d be surprise.

Not entirely sure what the purpose of this episode nor the GAM3R series is, but I appreciate the behind the scenes footage nonetheless.

Thank you!

There is absolutely no direction in this at all. You need a bit more than ‘we turned the camera on and walked around NL while Big Two was going on’. Is this about NL? Or the folks who work at NL? Both?

I mean I call NL home too but to be honest the scene is boring as fuck now so I don’t see what you can scrounge out of it. If anything just keep Akuma and Henry on camera and keep the players out of it, please.

So you are saying take it out of the fighters… and leave to be more following around the store clerks and owners. I like this approach… anyone disagree?

thanks,

in the middle of editing the next one now

Cover the people, not the games. Make a little documentary out of each episode for each person, that is if they’re interesting enough. Find out what Chris G does on a daily basis, Spooky, Henry, Akuma, you get the idea. I say show up for other tournaments NL holds as well, like the Stickbug tournaments or other events.

One of the main problems I think is a lack of a ‘narrative’ per say. So far it just seems like random footage, and while it’s nice and all, there could be improvements if the content was a little more focused or tied together better for a coherent direction.

Episode 2 is out [media=youtube]uhR5Oj1jn4U[/media]

What do you think of this? we tried to take in to account everyones suggestions.

I found it very “meh”. Material wasn’t anything… great… but the editing was good.
I dunno, I help run tournaments around my area, and that’s basically the story… except it seems more laid back since I’ve seen way crazier things happen during tournaments (maybe it just got recorded on a good day).

I’d actually like to see videos about some of the “shady” stuff or drama happening in the scene.
Kind of have a “behind the scenes” type deal.

do you like the new episode better?

I actually liked the new one a lot. My only problem with it is that it was short, which is something that can’t be helped, lol.
So really, yeah, I enjoyed it. Gave a more in-depth view of what fighting game players go through without getting TOO personal.

Nice stuff.
I actually look forward to the next episode.

Good episode! It gets a little more in-depth into the guys into the episode. A few portions of the documentary felt a bit forced and unnatural, like having that girl working at the Fantasy Football league thing talking on the cell phone, or the guy who left the house and tipped over a trash can.

But overall, a very good episode, and I look forward to episode 3.

[Master_Chibi]

It’s still lacking direction, but at the very least this episode was entertaining.

[illmatic2600]

thanks again everyone for the feedback. we’re really trying to get something going… with no budget it’s really hard, but your feedback makes the trial and error portion much easier to figure out. thanks again

[illmatic2600]

does anyone have a Kotaku contact? or know when they are hosting an event, or a complex games contact?
