Video Game Show

Super Mario Bros. Wii from The VP Club on Vimeo.

Overall the video game special went really well. We had a lot of fun, and gained a lot of valuable experience. The show is airing again tomorrow night (01/27) at 11:00 on channel 9 and roguetv.org if you want the full on experience. Otherwise you can watch all the clips online on our vimeo page at vimeo.com/thevpclub.

Some snags that we ran into were (1.) not enough time to set up. We ran into a few technical problems and just the overall setup in general took an hour more than planned. I apologize for the people who came at 8, got bored and left. We did have food for everyone though. (2.) not enough people helping. We were kind of short staffed in the first place, but when we did the whole "pull the names out of the hat to see who plays the game", members of the crew were constantly called up, leaving us short handed. This however, will be avoided in the future for obvious reasons. (3.) I dont think everyone was on the same page as far as the rundown of the show and everything that was going on. Part of teh reason for this was that we were kind of playing it by ear. We had ideas for segments and a bunch of stuff planned out but we didnt have a set timeline. That is another thing we will do before hand for the next show. (4.) We didnt have pre-produced graphics.. well not really. Jotham made some graphics before the show but for the next show we will need to make some "loading screen" type of filler for when we go to and from the videos. This will also help us avoid awkwardness ..("lets go to the video".... 30 secs later video starts)

The next show should be a lot better. For one, we will have guests on from Standing Stone Brewery along with a pre-produced walk through of the brewery itself. We should also have more videos made especially for the show. If anyone reading this wants to make a video, cartoon, photoshop image, photograph, or whatever, please do! The theme is beer, so go nuts! Also it doesn't really have to be new, if you have a good beer picture and want to submit it go for it.
