More thoughts about vlogging battle reports

 - I need a vlogging pack with a tripod, light, lenses, gun mike.

- Use Google improve for photo's to make them look better!

- https://www.naturalreaders.com/ is a cheap text to speech converter

- Use  https://freesound.org/ and You Tube Audio.

- https://www.littlewarstv.com/quick-strike-challenge.html is a guide on how to do it.

    - 1-2 Minute intro and history of the battle

    - 2-8 minutes of the battle. For Bolt Action, that's only 1-2 minutes a turn.

    - 1 Minute conclusion and 1 minute lessons learnt.

    - Use close in video, model eye view. When a character does something important or blows up, get the close video.

- Good point about keeping them less than 10 minutes! I can do a 2nd video of conclusions and lessons learnt and how to do better next time. So many battle reports go for 40-200 minutes! No one's watching all of that!

- Even better, do a 3rd video on the history of the armies/battle/campaign. 

- If doing a battle of Australian troops, I could use the actual regimental diaries from the AWM as a guide on the battle itself, and colour commentary when needed. It can be used a separate voice over.
