  • Hallelujah !!!!

    Shawn,  Thank you for the HD Macro!!!!

  • you should try putting the camera on a tripod and have the figure on a rotating base.

  • Shawn. Now in HD. The world is a better place. =)

  • "Once I was blind, Now I see."

    

  • HD is definetly an improvement. I hope we'll see more of this.

  • New camera is awesome.

  • Looks great on the camera! It's really fun when u actually can see the details and how u painted!

  • What model of camera did you folks end up getting? and yeah, if you move too quickly and put a small figure in frame close to the camera while your body fills up the frame like 4 feet away, the camera wants to focus on your body instead. See if it has options for the type of autofocus.

    And no matter the camera, try not to get too close, as most every camera has a MINIMUM distance, you'll have to figure out yours through trial and error, the BTP way :3

  • Yeah please put things or camera on a steady stand to improve focus. other than that the image looking good.

  • Looks awesome! Thanks for switching to this so we can really take in the BTP awesome.

  • THE DETAIL!!! MY GOD, THE DETAIL!!!

  • HEY HEY HD-FANS!!!

  • Do you guys do any LOTR strategy battle game or war of the ring? I would love to see your stuff.

  • wow, this is awesome, i need more. HDBTB bat rep. also you know you cant go back, you have just spoiled us :D

  • wow, this is awesome, i need more. HDBTB bat rep

  • at first i was like ahah blurs alot. then as he got close and stayed still i was like wow. Wow i can count the guys teeth and see each of his fingers.

  • awesome, what camera is it? i recently got my canon t3i and its just beautiful for taking pics on minies!

  • OMG HD!!!...you look younger now :p

  • The HD looks great. I don't know what camera you are using but on mine you can choose what area of the screen the camera will focus on. You can choose a specific area usually. You may also be able to choose if you want continuous autofucus or not. If you switch off continuous autofocus you can then lightly press the record button to have it focus on the centre. Of course it depends on what camera you have.

  • HOLY KNARLOCS This is like BTP over 9000!

  • Well done guys, you can really see the painting nicely now. Great job, thanks for sharing as usual!

  • woah, that hive tyrant looked stunning in HD. Can really see everything!

  • loving the HD camera! :))

  • HEY HEY BLUE TABLE PAINTING finally got a better camera!!!

  • OMG that's what you look like AHHHHHHHHHHH shut it off! SHUT IT OOOOOFFFFFFFFF... lol looks great, and the mini's too

  • looking a load better!

  • So much better! Can really see the quality of work you guys are doing. Keep up the good work.

  • What a difference a new camera makes, maybe for close up of models have a prefocused camera looking at a black background and just put the figs under it?

    Looking forward to your next videos

  • HD!

  • to focus faster the background needs to be closer to the model. consider carrying a black square around for that shawn

  • For the HD Emperor!

    At last. It was about time! :)

    yeah, you should consider to not holding the mini with your hands and

    rather put it down on the table.

  • Sweet !

    Sooo much better. Now we really can see you wonderfull work !

  • Great to finally see BTP in HD really does make a diffrance.

  • Tips, if you keep a open hand behind the model the camera will focus better

  • Stuff looks even better in HD! The camera does take a few seconds (4-5) to get a good focus on the minis, and can't do so well when you're moving them in your hands. Would probably be good to get used to that lag when taking shots of the die or models. Can't wait to see the Empire v. Tomb Kings battle in HD on the Full Screen!

  • put your hand behind the figure so the camera has more area to focus on when you bring it up to the camera. awsome on the HD btw :)

  • put your hand behind the figure so the camera has more area to focus on when you bring it up to the camera. awsome on the HD btw :)

  • Only tip for getting the focus I got is giving the camera only the model to have to focus on, the more in the background the more it wants to focus on that instead of the foreground. Hope that tip helps make this awesome camera really show off your great work!

  • love the HD ! Thank you!

  • I have to admit he did a good job of not shaking and when the macro worked it was awesome!

    I'd like to thank you for updating your media..Sure it will help the company:)

  • Yay!!!

    Actual Stereo Sound!

  • I'm loving the HD-BTP, I can see the videos/models in fullscreen now!

  • HUZZAH! HURRAY! HD!

  • Do you release your videos on VHS?

  • main problem I see is that Shawn will have to fight his need to turn the model so fast and slow down a bit.

  • Oh sweet Khorne, 1080 BTP, oh man

  • Loookin' good!

  • Say what you want, the video looks exactly the same and models can still blur up when they get close (1:35 and 3:28 being good examples). I've always suspected that people have trained themselves to believe 'HD' is actually making a noticeable difference because that's what they are told, rather than it actually being true. That said, the camera is focusing better sometimes, but I wouldn't put that down to the 'HD' element of it.

    So overall, a net improvement. Just don't get too swept up in 'HD'

  • This is pretty awesome :D lovin the Skorne

  • yay HD!

  • Absolutely EMAZING! YES FINALLY!

  • Finally! It's so nice to see high res, properly macro focussed images on btp. You will not regret this!

  • When there is heaps of different coloured stuff in the background, it makes it difficult to focus on a tiny mini.

    If you want to get infocus shots all the time, keep the model still, and try and have a continuous background (ie a preset backdrop, piece of paper or table cloth)

    Your HD will come out much better :)

    ~Ghost

  • that Tervigon looks JUST like the drawing in the book...but in HD!

  • awesome!

    

  • =O !!@#!#! WHOA

  • BY THE GRACE OF THE EMPEROR!

    HD video looks great!!! I don't know much about video, but it seemed to look better when the model was sitting still, rather than when someone else is holding it and moving around.

  • @Dmbenaron DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!!!

  • Whats better than BTP?

    HDBTP! Nice quality on this guys.

  • awesome! PURE AWESOME!

  • HDBTP! HDBTPBR! Loving the acronyms!!! :)

  • Loving the HD~~!

  • thanks so much for this, I finally can see the models!

  • THANK GOD ON THE CAMERA!

  • Slick sound quality too, Shawn. Mike D earning his pay already! Those minis look flippin' gorgeous on the new a/v equipment.

  • WTF is this? Why can I see so much detail. I want bad quality camera back!!!

    lol jk

    AMAZINGNESS!!!!

  • OH MY GOD ITS FULL OF STARS

  • OMG 1080p! HUZZAH

  • OMG OMG OMG, HD! Looks freaking awesome, and for some reason, the filesize is actually significantly SMALLER than the old cam. Double win! I'm so excitied to see BTP quality models... in HD!

    P.S. Asjarra knows what he's talking about, the video looks a little sluggish. Mike needs to read his comment.

  • Hoe. Lee. Sh!t.

  • BTP finally in HD ! hooray for you ! hooray for MEEEEE !!!! :-) Cheers from Chicago Shaun !

  • Looks great. Looking forward to more in HD. Just be careful of blurryness XD

  • BTP you guys are great but got to say the HD cam is soooooo good the detail is so good and we can see your great work in great detail and I got to say its GREAT!!! I can made out the shades and colors the mins are painted and got to say the cam does justice!! keep the good work up!!

  • Wow. Honestly, in some SD vids the minis looked really flat and dull. But this - if this is only level 3 or 4 of possible 10 (the Skorne stuff), I can't wait to see samples of level 10 work from BTP. So I'd really like to see an HD vid where you show examples of all your different detail levels. Would that be possible, Shawn?

  • HDBTP!!!!!!

    The only thing I have to say is that Shawn has to learn too wait for the macro to focus.

  • YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EES HD IS GUUUUUUUUUUUUD

  • Models look incredible in HD !!!!

  • THANK YOU SHAWN FOR THE HD!!!!!!!!! GREAT IMPROVEMENT!!!

  • Wow, just to repeat what has been said repeatedly, this is amazing, now we have the wonderful personality of Shawn and get to see the amazing figs in all their glory, I knew you guys were good but those cetrati looked genuinely amazing!

  • GOD THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER!

  • YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

  • Oh god shawn you look hor... err.. beautiful in hd

    hahaha

    jk this is awesome looking.. so much more awesome

    BTP-HD FTW

  • so much better .. gotta love HD

  • This looks AWESOME!

  • One thing that you should work on shawn is to not move the model around so much so that the camera can actually focus on the model. Sometimes the model gets into focus and then you take it way to show us something else so just keep in mind that the camera can be a bit slow...other than that, great lookin models =D

  • Good but when it's not focusing try putting ur hand behind the mini ti stops the cam from focusing on other things in the room.

  • OMG my ears didnt explode, that new mic handles highs very very well. This is a million times better, and my ears thank you for not making them cry in pain.

  • Wow it make such a great difference hope to see more vids soon Shawn :)

  • srry about my comment i commented before i got to see the full vids my apologize keep up the great vids

  • awsome hd but u might want to hold the peices and minis onfront of cam a little bit longer to get 100% focus and keep up the great vids

  • i agree the cam is much better and your work is exceptional ... but dont move the models as fast and i bet your cam will focus better for you... cheers and great job on the upgrade.. was well needed and the work deserved it.

  • awesome a non blurry shawn ! could there be something better than that? :-)

    the models really look great now nobody can cry anymore that the cost are to high !!

    Cant wait till the HD Batrep btw Mike D ur tha MaN!!

  • Great stuff BTP!

  • How expensive are your tervigons?

  • HOLY! when you stop moving the miniatures around, and the camera focuses, you can really see what a great job you guys did. The Models look incredibly gorgeous!

  • The new camera is looking good. I've seen some people put their hand behind the model to give a much shallower depth so the focus can get the model quicker and easier. Might want to experiment with that and see how it goes.

  • With a little practice this will really do the Buisness a lot of good. If you're looking at showcasing some projects or models, perhaps placing them on a small rotating plinth with a plain back ground (I actually remember seeing them on your adepticon converage) and having the camerca focased. This would be great to send to clients, potential clients and would serve as great advertising.

  • Sweet feels like i can stroke your face........ nope just a elec shock :(

  • HD BTP!!!! SWEEET!

  • You should get a tripod next :D

  • the old camera didn't do the models their justics.

    This new one shows how good your models are and makes me want to comission something. Do you post to the Republic of Ireland?

  • My word.. its like seeing your miniatures with my glasses on at last. Those gold and red armoured minis when they came into focus looked very plush, I can only imagine what your best work looks like.

    The HD quality is so crisp and clear when it latches on... we'll be able to tell when you've hoovered and dusted... ohhh no, more chores for the minions. (joking)

  • I would seriously just use a manual focus and do it myself...

  • Best Investment ever

  • I am very excited about this HD-camera. I am one of the people who has been nagging about it, but I really think this will help your business. all the luck to you

  • THIS VIDEO IS THE BEGINNING OF AWESOMENESS FINALLY NO MUSHY MINIS!

  • wonderfull! :)

  • oh my goodness, the day has come!

  • looks great! I would try a white piece of paper behind the model to help the camera focus better.

  • OMG!

    Unbeliveable ! Hooray for HD :D

  • Huge improvement. Giving the camera time to focus helps. When he zoomed in on the fig in the box it was like looking at it in my own hand.

  • my Gosh...... i.... i..... my life is complete.

  • Shawn - The problem with Auto Focus on cameras is trying not to change the distance between the camera and whatever you're filming :D

  • which miniature game are that scorn/skorn ?

  • @strudeln the Skorne are for Privateer Presses game hordes a awesome skirmish game that can also be played with Warmachine.

  • HIGH DEFINITION SHAWN WELCOME!!!!!! YAY

  • oooh thats beautiful, I hope to see some batreps shot with that camera.

  • BTPHD! awesome

  • Oh my .... i want HD-Battle reports. Sometimes when the fig get to close to the camera it didnt focus that well. But it gives 1000% better idea of the quality BTP paints at. Also very important to keep the camera still..if you move it the camera looses focus!

  • Liking the HD :-)

  • hard time focusing...as shaun continues to move and twist the model hahaa

  • Just a tip, dont move the models so much, give the camera time, also it u hold u hand flat behind the model will make the camera focus a lot quicker :)

  • oh my god thank you! now we can actually see what you're talking about when it comes to detail.

  • Hey wow! Congrats on the camera. You'll certainly have to train on using it a bit more because getting that focus just right will take some time. You'll maybe just have to slow down when showing a model close to the camera, and that might be difficult given that you usually move at a pretty quick pace when doing those studio updates. Regardless, keep up the great work! Yay BTP!

  • justice has finally be done to BTP! Awesome can wait for more HD goodness!! :D

  • Comment removed

  • FINALLY

  • Saw the HD part, jizzed.

  • Shawn in HD. Love it!

  • NICE, GUYS!

  • thats better!

  • thank the lord!

  • I think when showing the models up-close, if you put your hand behind them as a backdrop it will likely focus quicker and stay focused as you move the model. I could be wrong though. Either which way, I'm really excited about seeing you guys in HD.

  • The models are looking really nice in HD :-) Keep up the good work!

  • we love it, we wish we could watch more stuff in HD

  • This HD cam improves the impression of your work by some 40,000%. I'd almost ask for re-shots of some of the old videos, but that's impossible, I guess... :0)

    Oh, and I'm really looking forward to the first HD-batrep! Film those battling minis like they were some kind of old and expensive wine or whiskey!

  • @tmafkap We have already filmed turn 04 of our current game in HD.

  • @bluetablepainting thats really awsome! since those tomb kings rock!

  • OMG... so much better shawn!

  • wow great camera!! :) wonderful paint jobs just lovely!!

  • YAY! Gratz on going HD! :)

  • damit! I was gona use the same guy in my woody army -_- ! Dam you BTP! I will have my revenge! Just as I thought I was original!

    

  • awesome!keep it up

  • wow great camera!! :) wonderful paint jobs

  • Amazing!

  • I like : D

  • Yeah a little better but holding the model you can't see the details until you put it on the table and get a good close up.

  • It looks SO good :O this is so awesome!

  • HOLY SHATZ!!! the HD ............wow the Figs look GRATE!!! just lay thim down or dont move the fig so it can foces lol.

  • you discribe cridt like a store card but is there a time limit on it?

  • HD BTP is the best thing that has happend to youtube ever!

  • This is amazing! I don't have to squint or imagine half of the details^^

  • FINALLY WOOOOOT :D:D:D:D

  • WOW. when it's focused the painting looks great!. maybe if there is nothing else in frame and the models are still the focus would keep up

  • Man we can see all your pores shawn :D (j/k)

  • MY LIFE IS COMPLETE

  • HD BTP!! ftw

  • youll have to find a way to focus that camera because if not focused it looks just like the old one

  • nice

  • Great new camera! Suggestion: if you want the camera to focus, stop moving the object for a moment and you can even hold your hand behind it to reduce the background the camera is trying to focus on. Your shirts can drive the poor thing crazy when trying to focus on a figure that you keep moving.

  • OOOHHH MYYY GODDDDD! IT'S TIMEEEEEEE!!!!

  • But in all seriousness wonderful news team! The day has come :D So great to see everything in HD.

    Maybe turn off the steadycam as it feels a little cautious and you are losing that classic BTP energy and feel and I miss it for real.

    I'd also shut down the aperture and up the gain, and have that autofocus centre set and you're finger on the focus button. Cos we don't wanna miss a thinnnngggg!

    Love it :D

  • @asjarra We will probably do both-- the HD careful stuff, and also where I just grab the FLIP LD and video whatever I feel like.

  • @bluetablepainting Sounds good. Mix it up! I think we gotta start a fund to arm you with a Flip HD :) 1600 videos instills a very strong aesethic in our loving minds and over the years the camera has become as much a character as anyone! Alternatively give Mike D a couple of (or maybe a couple more) Red Bulls before you shoot :D Doing a wonderful job!

  • omg shawn thats as sharp as a knife is stuck in my eye :D

  • I have a feeling noone will be complaining about video quality now :)

  • congratulations BTP

    Thsi really does your painting justice

  • Mike D with the master plan...

  • Wow, that's a real improvement. Way to go Shawn! Can't wait to see battlereports using that camera

  • Do you guys sometimes strip the paint off trade-in miniatures?

  • You guys really need to get a 3D camera!

  • Looks like the test went fairly well. Just give the camera some time and it should be working just fine for ya.
