ha, I was wondering where the thread went, I scrolled down for ages and thought that it was deleted, so hey thank ye gods for stickying this.
Pressure is on to get this done now. Haven't even got my laptop yet.
But I do have a fair idea on what to do, I've done video sampling before, so it shouldn't be do hard. Cropping, adding music, zoom, text on screen, video speed, etc. I've done a bit of animating with .gifs, so i'm going to try my hand at a funky intro. Something like the captain going through character profiles in the telecoms room, he brings up the DWAINE screen, i'll replace the text with the 3 characters, their 32x32 front sprite in little profiles on the screen. The Captain scrolls through each profile, bringing up what job they are playing (and if they had antagonist, i'll put a yellow ! beside the profile). I MIGHT even get a clip of your feed and put it up on the screen, depending on the difficulty. The captain saves the stuff on a disk and flys off in a miniputt. The video cuts to him being attacked and blown to shreds by drones. I'll fade in the title screen (SS13, Goonstation Diaries), amongst the gibbed debree, along with a honkytonk piano playing in the background. I'll get all that footage just playing as a generic default appearance captain, just give my disk, and main ID to the hop/hos and just play it out, fly into the wreckage field and get wrecked.
Sound good? All of my 15 minutes of thinking went into it so..
Anyway, My webcam has a really good mic, so i'm just gonna use that.
As far as recording the desktop goes, I haven't used that software yet, but this: http://camstudio.org/ looks good. I'd rather if everyone had the same quality (to a degree of course) of feed, one thing I can't do is fiddle with the quality of your feed. So that would be neat.
I don't have steam or skype, but i'll set up a skype account soon enough.
