| Kantor said: You get some game footage which you're actually allowed to use. You design the graphics You use video editing software to put the graphics and footage together. You find some footage which corresponds to what you want to write in the review. You talk about exactly what is going on in the video. You somehow get this copy/content edited by the editors You find somewhere to host this video (we're not putting them on YouTube. That would defeat the entire purpose). That's a lot more effort than 40 minutes spent, sitting comfortably, and writing, which is what we all signed up for. |
VGC gets review copies so who aren't they allowed to do videos?
even if you aren't allowed you could do a youtube thing where people use the video
the graphic desgining is one time thing apart from some tweaks and can be used over and over again like IGN,Gamespot and GTn and so many more
putting the footage and graphics together is a kids game and is worth when site is getting hits
you can easily record game footage with those $10-20 screen capture cards
and most video reviews don't correspond to what is being shown on the screen
why not youtube,IGN,GT,etc does them? you could like embed them on the dite with your text review,get hits on VGC articles and even earn from youtube partners,this is mainly if you have a bandwidth cost
if you can bear the cost or find a way to do it then even better
the game footage can done while playing the game and the editing doesn't take much time for a 3-5mins review
