Brilliant idea. Get LordZarDeck on it.

That includes a larger player base, and people willing, committed, and with the resources to do this. We kind of lack that, but I would love to see a better National coverage. I think this year with Matt Sinclair was a great start, but we can do a lot better. I think a lot of people would have loved to have seen BrianGabe vs myself in our type 1 game, it was arguably one of the best 2 player games I have ever played and went down to the last seconds. I think many players, including myself, would love to watch top ranked matches at a National level. As popular as in-depth tournament reports are, I think recorded National matches would be a huge success.

SomeKittens · « **Reply #4 on:** November 29, 2010, 03:10:09 PM »

I'd be perfectly willing to set something up like that.

this decision should be reevaluated.

Mr.Hiatus · « **Reply #6 on:** November 29, 2010, 10:28:28 PM »

I agree with Clift. Ask the players if it is ok I would say.

SomeKittens · « **Reply #7 on:** November 29, 2010, 10:37:02 PM »

However, the footage shouldn't be released until after the tournament.

christiangamer25 · « **Reply #8 on:** December 03, 2010, 01:19:22 PM »

yeah wasn't going to release it till after anyway

Mr.Hiatus · « **Reply #9 on:** December 04, 2010, 12:36:59 PM »

Yeah we know, you still haven't released anything.

Our playgroup has been trying very hard into creating tons of content for the entire Nation. We've done tournament coverage throughout our webzines, in multiple cities in Florida not just the city we live in. So that means we're dedicated to travel to prove you guys with up to date stuff. Also we've put together an iTunes podcast also containing videos, audio interviews, and so on.

For those of you that don't know what to get into getting video coverage, we have a pretty cool head cam in the form of sunglasses. So it's very portable, comfortable, and practical. The only thing is it's around $100 to get. But we consider it well spent seed not just for us but for players around the entire world.

Make sure to check with your local laws about recording events.

Make sure to check with your local laws about recording events.

Concerning copyrights and ownership of the pictures, it's technically owned by the store that we host the tournaments at. But they've agreed to let us own them since they're not interested in the pictures. Regarding model releases, we haven't done any. However because the pictures aren't used for commercial purposes, it doesn't violate anyone's free & moral rights. The pictures are used and meant as information and commentary only. No one is gaining any profit from them. In fact, the pictures and all content of South Florida Redemption's Webzine: "The Redeemer", are under a CC-BY-NC-ND license. So everyone is free to use the articles, coverage, pictures, and so on as long as they attribute the work to - South Florida Redemption and for non-commercial use.

Besides that, if they're a Believer and Obey His Word- they should also understand this is all done to edify the Body of Christ. We're all brothers in the Lord here and this is done for His purpose as He Wills it to be and the intentions are to edify the Body. Get the idea? We're not gaining any profit from this, we're doing this because we love our brothers and we also want to do the best that we can for the rest of our brothers & sisters online that are out of the state of FL.

Also, if they want to make a legal issue out of it- that to is also forbidden in scripture. Just go read the book of Acts. Remember that card "Christian sueing another"? Well, that scripture reference touches on it.

No matter if you make a profit out of it or not, some states have laws regarding recording of other people without their consent. If it was a normal video camera, they're clearly giving consent, because you're clearly recording them. Since you've got "spy glasses", that may be something else. I know my brother tries to keep his internet presence down (he doesn't even use his real name on Facebook) and that includes videos of him.

I should have also mentioned that I ask them before I record. I wouldn't record them without their acknowledgement. Those glasses make things easier because they rest on a person's face and it's cool since you could record in 1st person view.

Well, that works fine. They also make one look snazzy.

Ha ha, yeah I've gotten comments as if I was trying to be some all-star poker player. My response is I have a video camera in the frame of the glasses and I'm recording the game. The latest issue of the webzine has some pictures of my brother & I with them on because obviously we were recording some tournament coverage. In the same issue of the latest webzine, attached are to videos specifically round 1 & 2 against Jonathan Majus.

If I see someone wearing those at any game I'm at I'll ask them to take them off, and if they won't I'll have a judge make them.

Red · « **Reply #22 on:** February 07, 2011, 09:53:04 AM »

Tournament rules don't forbid sunglasses. They have the freedom to wear them.

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #23 on:** February 07, 2011, 09:55:20 AM »

Not if there are cameras in them.

Red · « **Reply #24 on:** February 07, 2011, 09:56:58 AM »

So? Camera shy? I'd wanna be taped
