TA Looking for HD Video Recording Person

[arn]

Hi guys,

Just putting out a feeler. I'm looking for an official video recording person for TouchArcade. Here are the absolute requirements:

- Own a High Definition video camera that can take direct Audio-In
- Own an iPhone or iPod Touch
- Able to do basic editing and upload to YouTube
- Fast internet connection
- Naturally interested in iPhone or iPod Touch gaming.

"Reviewing" games not required. This is gameplay videos only.
Able to work during evening hours and on short notice is an added bonus.

Interested? If you don't fulfill the above bulleted requirements, please don't email. For example, if you only have a regular video camera (non-HD), don't email.

Mail arn@normalkid.com with subject "TouchArcade Video"

Thanks
arn

Arn I dont mean to question you but your videos are fine right now. If you "hired" a HD Video Recording Person you would need two promo codes for apps, one for you and one for the video recorder person; which is not good.

True. I agree there. Usually, game play videos can be piggy backed from other people or the dev. I don't see the point. Most of those req's are crap, except having to have a HD video camera.

it would be almost no work for cool new games that arent even out yet, its not worth it for the site

I know our videos are fine, I just don't have enough time to do them.

so again; you'll need two codes; which devs wont be happy about.

If I had to guess.. arn does not use promo codes. :)

*raiseshandsup* w/e u say. but we're telling u; it aint a good idea. just use the videos the devs provide themselfs.

Guys, I'm pretty sure he thought about this before he made the post. He isn't looking for "constructive criticism." Not all devs can provide the necessary videos.

With each and every game priced at .99 cents, there shouldn't be a problem.

Why do people all of a sudden think you need promo codes? They've been going to bad use (in a way).

arn could also authorize his account for the recorder and just send the ipa. still would only need one code.

$1000 buys every possible game you would want reviewed. Money is not the issue. Time is.
Does anyone have a HD camera?

[1337brian]

I wish I did! I would love to be the "Official Video Guy".... :(

[Eli]

How about a little less speculating on how TA runs and a little more someone with an HD camera posting. :P

[yourofl10]

I have a 8mp video camera but not sure if HD though

[Fletch]

Yeah, my guess is there's just one toucharcade account, which Arn, Blake, and Eli all share for app purchases.

[spamboy]

I do have an HD camera! Just have to see if it supports audio-in though...

[teagan1000000]

i have everything but direct audio in but i think you can direct audio into a mic jack on a computer, i have the same camera they use for dirty jobs, i have been editing videos for a few years now, video editing software and i have an itouch 2nd gen.
this is my camera

Meet all the requirements (just bought a Sony HD 12mp video camera) except time, seems like that's the hardest requirement. (working on Masters)
