It was the first game that I had backed on Kickstarter and has got me to back other indie games through the site.<br />The Pilgrims Kickstarter campaign was very enjoyable. From the start I felt like I had a stake in the game and it made proofreading the PDF a treat rather than a chore. The finished product is very high quality, from the design and illustrations down to the quality of the paper. My 2 yr old was thrilled to see his name in the book as a troublemaker, but probably not as thrilled as I was to see my letter in The Book of Letters with an illustration.julian tysoehttp://twitter.com/kradlumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-12737031466149771662011-08-15T19:20:19.840-04:002011-08-15T19:20:19.840-04:00I'll see what I can do to adjust the contrast....I'll see what I can do to adjust the contrast.Daniel Solishttp://profiles.google.com/gobi81noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-2575902414317701332011-08-15T19:19:52.957-04:002011-08-15T19:19:52.957-04:00Your video is definitely what I'd consider how...Your video is definitely what I'd consider how to be a talking head well. You had cool graphics floating around while you talked, so it's definitely bringing something more to the game than the average shmoe with a webcam.Daniel Solishttp://profiles.google.com/gobi81noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-25920073759889629002011-08-15T19:19:07.219-04:002011-08-15T19:19:07.219-04:00Good idea.

At least appear on screen for a bit. I think it's good to put a human face to the project. But do make sure you are well groomed, appropriately dressed, and have a good backdrop. Memorize your script a little bit at a time so you can avoid looking like you're reading it off a card. Cut away to other visuals as often as possible.<br /><br />Make sure you have a good video editing program like iMovie to trim your video down after you shoot it. And if you don't like how something turned out, don't be afraid to shoot it again.Jeremy Kellernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-37526107701846478492011-08-14T19:40:28.662-04:002011-08-14T19:40:28.662-04:00I'd also suggest: provide a link to a transcri...I'd also suggest: provide a link to a transcript for people who don't do video or audio.CherylTrooskinZollerhttp://twitter.com/cheryltznoreply@blogger.com
