Hey!
Since we finally have 4 cameras to record our Mahjong games, I've decided to create a separate topic for those videos. I'm not sure how often I'll post but it should be fairly frequently. No full games, just short videos with interesting situations. Here's one for starters...

This is more of a test video to get feedback from people.

One thing's for sure - we'll play around with camera angles a bit more to find the optimal one.

Nice. I see you're using my idea of table markings now - seems to be pretty effective.

Ah, yes ;p I think we could've made it a bit more esthetic but it definitely works great!

A new video! I wonder which camera angle you guys prefer? Close-up or a wider one with all discards showing all the time?

Any suggestions for possible improvements are welcome!

If Gnom sees that: I used your system for players' names, I hope you don't mind!

Wow! Nice work! Really neat! Looking forward to seeing full games

Thank you! I'd love to post a full game someday. Rendering would probably take a whole day xD Although, with 4 cameras I don't necessarily have to make it Full HD...

BTW: how long does it take you to render full games, Gnom?

About one night to get the rushes in the right format and ready for editing, when the editing is done about three hours to get a big file in the native format and one more hour to get a h.264 version. It's not HD yet, though. And in the meantime there is also an intermediate version with all the POV at once in a split screen that's used for the commentary!
