Hi community,

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.

+ [Race Splashbacks] +

+ [Map Intro Videos] +

+ [Between Game Screens] +

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!

♥ Baldie

nice work, personally don't like the style, font etc but nice nonetheless

Mox · Sun, 22nd-Jul-2012, 1:02 AM

Looks pretty sweet man! Nice work! Wish I had some degree of photoshop skills....

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.

I really love the race splashbacks

Shieldz · Mon, 23rd-Jul-2012, 8:23 AM

race splash back looks so sexy

DUCKVILLELOL · Mon, 23rd-Jul-2012, 11:02 AM

These are fantastic Baldie; well done! I might have to use a couple when I do any SEA casts

**inFeZa** · Mon, 23rd-Jul-2012, 12:23 PM

Nice work! Love em!

cruxSpoon · Mon, 23rd-Jul-2012, 12:43 PM

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.

Flamga · Mon, 23rd-Jul-2012, 12:58 PM

They are definately very sexy

Thanks for the openess and awesomeness!

NDG.Stitch · Mon, 23rd-Jul-2012, 4:23 PM

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!

Looks sick baldie. With the tvt in race splash back on the right terran there is like a z in the corner....

**ToRSpartaz** · Mon, 23rd-Jul-2012, 5:02 PM

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 -.-)

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.

Loving the work Baldie keep it up!

Flamga · Wed, 25th-Jul-2012, 10:22 PM

Awesome will definately try to come up with some stuff like this as well, quite enjoying my graphical skills and using them for the greater good

**Baldie** · Mon, 30th-Jul-2012, 6:07 PM

Please check the OP under the "Map Intro Videos" as all VoDs have been uploaded!

ComCoddyL · Tue, 31st-Jul-2012, 5:19 AM

I love the map intros, they look absolutely amazing.

NDG.Stitch · Tue, 31st-Jul-2012, 9:24 AM

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..

Zanderax · Tue, 31st-Jul-2012, 2:48 PM

I actively disagree with using the GSL intros. They are not only GOM's property but they are identified to the GSL.

Everything else is sexy.

**Baldie** · Sun, 19th-Aug-2012, 2:53 PM

Really happy to announce I have reworked the Race Splashbacks and am super happy with how they turned out!

Feedback as always appreciated.

Patch 1.1 Notes:
Removed "Z" from Terran background
Removed Blue Box from Protoss background
Changed "VS" font (yes it's SC2 font)
Reduced size of icons

Nice one baldie, very seksay indeed. I was watching you working on the additions the other night i believe.

z33ktv · Tue, 21st-Aug-2012, 6:33 PM
