I wasn't going to do it at first, because One, I am more the voyeur than the exhibitionist, and Two, there are imho much more fascinating folks out there of various nationalities and accents than my silly little vanilla self.

BUT! I didn't see a lot of folks posting about their videos, so I bit the bullet and did one. Let's help!!

Edit, the volume was a little quieter than I wanted, so you might have to boost it a smidgen.

Well, if a video with Jen in all of her geek glory isn't enough to persuade people, then I have to agree that it is indeed the big sleep for Tex :)

Here's mine, it's more of a rant.

Make sure to send these to the guys over at big finish so they can see them. They're getting a campaign ready for kickstarter (probably won't begin until May), so any support, videos, things like that will help!

Great stuff, guys. I just wrote out a script for mine. I was just going to do a simple video of me talking, but as I think about it, I really would like a little better production value.

But then it occurs to me: what I would love to happen would be for someone with mad skillz to do a composite video of Texamonials from us salivating fans, interspersed with clips from the games, with Tex music (best to keep the lovable-but-cheesy bits out) in the background, etc. I am not that person, although I admit that it's not nearly as hard as it used to be with modern software like iMovie, etc.

Who would be able to make that happen?

I think the guys at Big Finish Games will have a way they want to incorpate the testimonials into their video. We should just post our own ones, and let them do with it what they want. Just my opinion.

Kewl Video Jen... If you don't mind my saying, I saw the hat in your hand right at the end... If you don't mind the smallest bit of criticism, I would say that you should have put the hat on just before ending it...



I'm currently working on one, but I want to get my dialog right before posting it... I might also be stalling because I'm not exactly the camera type, nor do I feel the camera likes me, but I will get it done and posted long before the Kickstarter date...

The guys at Big Finish will be composting textimonials for a promo video for their kickstarter site. So, start making some videos and sending them into Big Finish!

I think what chris aaron want is personal video that can can edit sections to put in the full video presentation. As far as video cuts of the games I think they guys will be adding that.
What Jen has posted is along the lines of what they want.

Fair enough, guys. I had already decided to post the raw Texamonial and let whomever edit it. I don't care who it is who does it, although I hope the BF peeps do it.

Any consensus yet about the best way to round all the videos up or are they going to have to check multiple threads/sites to find them? My vote is for this thread. :mrgreen:

Jerry - Send a link to the video to the Big Finish website in the thread involving kickstarter. I've been in contact with Courtney through e-mail from Big Finish, basically sending her every video I've made so far. If there is no youtube, or whatever, hopefully you can e-mail it to them.

Plum - Black Arrow Fight will be in the 10th BIG "trailer" I'm making. :)
