IQ Games X-wing Miniatures Store Championship - Round 6 of 6 - Mr Wilber...
The sixth and final round of the IQ Games Store championship where the winner from this match would take a ship home as a prize.
Being as this is Mr Wilbert's first X-Wing match published to YouTube there are understandably a few points that could be improved. The first of those would be the Fish Eye lens. Whilst the fish eye has its uses and is very popular on go-pros and other portable recorders to achieve a greater field of vision, it really isn't conducive to X-Wing as the entire playfield needs to be clear and easily seen. The downside to the fish eye is that its focal zone is very centralised with a rapid and large falloff towards the edges, as such anything that isn't dead center of the lens suddenly starts to appear much further away than could be normally appreciated. As such for the beginning of this match the ships are occupying the other edge of the table so being able to appreciate the detail of the match (such as tokens placed dice rolled and even which ship is which) becomes far more complicated than necesary.
Also the camera would have benefitted heavily from a higher mounting, which would also help mitigate the failings of the fish eye lens.
Mr Wilbert's solo commentary is on the other hand a very good first effort with some pauses although these are an obvious consequence of recording a commentary alone, bringing in a partner who may not have participated in the game would help to keep the conversation going. The only down side to the audio is the background music can be a bit too loud at times drowning out the commentary.
All in all a good first effort from Mr Wilbert with plenty of options available for improvement.
