Moved into a city apartment (yes my lag issues seem to have been solved finally) but misplaced my bw cd during the move for a bit. Luckily I found it before this contest started.

Good stuff, as usual, Vaul!

By the way, yeah, I usually use youtube annotations to cover up my replay progress bar. I find that stacking 3 on top of each other works best, one white, then one black, then one white. Make sure you extend the annotations to the end of the video... it's easy to forget and then the progress bar is only covered for 5 seconds

Well, I actually didn't do this specifically for the contest, but since I did it I might as well post it, eh.

I did the G5 vs Cloud series... game 1 has all the good commentating extras in it.. background of players, notes from interview, mentioning of brackets, etc... but people want to see action, so I guess I'll make game 2 my entry

Here's the whole series, if you want to watch it.

Aren't you supposed to say the commentary is for the contest IN the recording?

Seems like the purpose of this is a little defeated if the well known commentators are just going to do their thing and then link to their best one without even stating in the video that it's for the contest... X_X;

I don't follow you. Obviously, they can't just link to their "best one" since they will have to cast a TSL match. If that's what they did, it's perfectly fine. The more the merrier.

Not an attempt to disrespect the work the casters do, but it's not like it's way out of everyone else's league. It might take a couple of tries but i would say anyone with some dedication and some command of the language could make a commentary that could compete. It's perfectly alright to be creative about it as well - to add some flavour or wackiness. If moletrap doing a cooentary is going to prevent you from doing it, you didn't have the enthusiasm anyway.

Oh I didn't really mean it like that, I meant moletrap was going to commentate these games anyway contest or not.

And I fully intend to get one of my own done regardless of the competition. I don't expect to win but it'll be fun and I love the TSL!

Commentating is haaaaaard. You have to juggle focusing on what's happening in the game and talking about the strategic decisions of each player. I've made a VOD out of the replay I'm doing, and I'm trying to commentate over that... but there are times when I can't think of anything to say, and times when I want to say something but can't because action is happening. I'm sure I will get better with practice! I also need to cast with more energy, or there's no way I'll be able to win this contest.

Speaking from experience:

COMMENTATING IS EASY. Don't worry what anyone thinks. People will always hate on you no matter what you do in life. Just get out there and start yelling and screaming about the game you're watching. Who cares if people make fun of it.

LETS SEE SOME NEW COMMENTATORS GOGOGOGOGO.

Hey luckyfool, realised after my commentary that I had only said verbally during game two that I intended to use 'one of the games in the series' and then picked game two on my post - hopefully that will be ok. Most of the time you'd be commentating while you were watching the series, rather than watching them all and then picking the best game to commentate on. It's usually better to commentate on something you don't know the result of!

Really can't speak for other commentators who regularly post SC vods on youtube, but for me i've taken time out to just do that one series for the sake of this contest. I think the contest exists to ultimately help the TL guys cover a lot of games where it would take them a lot of time and effort to get their main commentators doing ALL the qualifier games. So this should really help them out!

Hmmm. Yeah, I recorded the vid the day the G5/Cloud reps came out, before there was any mention of having to say something in the beginning of the video.

I also mentioned that they were TSL games at the beginning of the first game, though.. (and in the video title, heh)

What's the ruling on that?

Btw, while I would at least agree with motbob that there is much more to doing commentary than most people think, I would definitely agree with Husky that it doesn't have to be hard and people should really give it a try. Heck, most of the reason why I do it is because it's fun to yell at your computer while watching a game Especially for the purposes of this contest people that are just having fun will have as much chance of getting votes as anyone else.

sorry never read it mind telling me now?



Use chaos launcher and activate the hide replay progress bar. It should be one of the plugins
that comes with chaos, make sure you go to config when you find the right plugin to check mark the
Hide replay progress option.
