AJTV Episode #3: Podcast with Patrick Chapin and Gerry Thompson

---The Audio is what's important!!!---

So I tried something a little different this time. I have to say that it was a lot of fun to shoot. Let me know what you thought of this format in the forum/comment thing and give us your thoughts. If this is well-received, then I'll be doing something similar a little more often, and if not then I won't!

The technical side of things is getting better but still isn't what I want it to be. It's frustrating to envision something that would be really awesome if achieved and just not have the technical know-how/ability/experience to be able to execute it perfectly. But I do recognize that it is a process, and it will only get better and better.

For this episode, I wanted to use webcams, but apparently that takes more effort than "just do it," so you just get to see my beautiful face on camera, and my guests are just avatars. However, if I decide to do this again, I'll try to get webcams going (which would be pretty cool, I think). For this episode, though, you'll have to use a little imagination.

Also, there was a major malfunction in the middle of the show, and a couple of rough edits were required, but I don't think it affected the watchability at all; it just required more work of me to actually go and fix things instead of just uploading raw footage like I did with the first two AJTV episodes. PLUS! I shot this with a different program than I used the other times and needed to convert the file, which cut a significant amount of the quality, especially audio but also visual. I'm really sorry about this, and the future episodes will be of better quality; I pinky-promise.

The graphic design work in this episode was just a little something thrown together by me, and I am no professional graphic designer, so please excuse it if it's a little... crappy. I'm going to try and get some help from someone with experience to create a sick logo and an overlay for me, as well as a background for these types of episodes.

We talked for nearly twice as long as the video length, and this is what I cut it down to. Be sure to listen for my stuffy nose!

But that's enough excuses! As I said, it was a lot of fun to shoot and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching!

First, big fan of the show. ;) Enjoyed it on Premium when first published.

Anyway, I was curious of something, just for your sake; are you allowed to post these here now and be paid by YouTube ads when you've already been paid for them by SCG? I don't have any knowledge in the area, but have you looked into it, just to be safe?

[TheAJSacher]

@DakotaDonaldClark Yup. I own the content and the rites to distribute it as I see fit after 1 month of exclusivity. Was part of my agreement to come back to SCG. Good looking out.

[jafoniceld]

Hey AJ I've read you're article on pondering brainstorm and well as watched you're video on basic brainstorming. My question is how does snapcaster impact the times in which you should brainstorm? If I have brainstorm and snapcaster in hand is it okay to brainstorm since ill have a second chance at brainstorming later?

About Tree i was wondering (tree + equip with +0/+3) and its slow but stady adding you 3 life?

[FrelanceEQ]

cutting the trolling in the middle is sad :(

[ealatis]

Pretty cool. Magic needs its own "State of the Game" type show like this.

[JDBS99]

The conversation regarding the Desperate Ravings vs Think Twice was enjoyable to listen to. Thank you for having so much constructive advice regarding the game.

[DakotaDonaldClark]

Obviously it's your content, you own it, but yeah. I just don't know and it popped into my head as a potential issue.
