    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 [email protected] 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.

    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?

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

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