recently I underwent many many hours of photoshopping to try to improve my casting production for the various events I am involved in.
In the best interest of the entire SEA community I wanted to offer 100% transparency with my production. I don't see any benefit in keeping production just to myself at a community level. So feel free to take what you wish from the following images.
I utilise these predominantly in team wars pro league format when I know who will be playing each other in advance however if you have a bit of down time and are willing to make player names before the event you can use them all the time!
I recently took the GSL map intros and extended them sourcing the original songs. Although indeed this is stealing and not recommended for major events where issues around using this footage could occur I find they are perfect for local community tournaments!
Each video is 1 minute in duration, 720p quality and is ~100MB in size so transferring to people may less than ideal but happy to try work out a way (Skype perhaps?)
I personally feel a webcam should only be utilised between games and not during a game cast. Between game screens are generally speaking where the most variance comes between casters and enables them to show their creative flare.
Feel free to utilise the following template pending whether you are solo casting or duel casting.
Take some/all/none of the provided images and videos. All I want is to increase the production value of SEA events so if my services can be transferred to others my job is done!
Feel free to contact me on any of the places found in my signature!
This topic inspired me to go and set up a basic overlay just for my stream and the hwole other person who watches it. It really does make even basic streams feel more 'pro' when there is a decent overlay on the screen.
After watching your cast of Tek and ToR, i have to admit, the production value you bring to casting is nothing short of amazing. Quite probably the best production value of any regular sc2 cast i've seen. It may not have the fancy greenroom that Benji has, but you take very simple tools and make it into a master piece. Bravo good sir, bravo.
Really love this initiative man. I can't wait for your map intro videos, I think it's a great idea!!!
One thing is, for my personal opinion, I'd like the font for the "VS" in the matchup photos to be a bit less cartoonish, idk how to explain myself - but just my general opinion.
But either way, great initiative, and you definitely have my support

You mean to change the font to something less cartoonish ^_^ I understand.
I will have a look if I still have the original files. I might even redevelop the entire theme of the splashbacks.. incorporate a faint border or make the line splitting the two sides more or less noticeable. Thoughts?
If you have any suggestions on changes minor or major for my content don't hesitate to speak up! They are designed to please those watching so if it doesn't float your boat speak up!
You know I was thinking about you today Brad (No homo, well after you see my afterball photos you may doubt those words).
Personally I think your production value of all of your casting sets you apart and distinguishes you as a caster man. I really enjoy each and every cast of yours it is a genuine viewer experience and have a really good mastery of adding production into most of your shows.
I have a few ideas I would like to run past you though when you have time buddy ^^ (Also when I have time, atm should be doing some study -.-)
Izotz: That is so clean I think that the best thing you can do is keep if fresh from season to season or something
I love this idea! Perhaps I can try think of a theme for each season.. whether it actually be literally the four seasons of the year or whether I do it GSL seasonal. I'll have a think but props

Thanks for reminder. At the time I didn't really have any skills in being able to cut out pieces of a image and recreating the background to make it look authentic. I will try to now when I redo them.
Like the map intros, but not very sure about using them since it does belong to GSL.
Yeah totally agree. Hence I said:
"Although indeed this is stealing and not recommended for major events where issues around using this footage could occur I find they are perfect for local community tournaments!"
It's kind of like asking for forgiveness, not permission.
Perhaps when Season 4 pops around and new intro's come out there won't be as much concern for using them as they are outdated..
