BBG10 Notes: Make It Happen!I would like this to be a repeat of BBG7. You know, when we were actually AT the gazebo. Problem is, there's no way this can be done alone. A sizable number of people will have to pitch in to make this work. If you're already a part of this community or even if you're new to the game and you have the drive to see the potential behind it's expansion then volunteering as ABK Staff may be for you. Staff would generally need to provide small donations/contributions (such as loaning speakers, stands, laptops, etc.) for the event or to assist with Moderating (maintaining tournament brackets, assigning players to stations, announcements, etc.). Below is a list of the necessities and contributions to be met ranging from simple to possibly burdensome:
Ok, I'm just going tear the bandaid off and start with the "possibly burdensome". This is most definitely the largest hurdle to leap and without it you obviously have no battle
at the gazebo. First off, it's $25 to rent the space for the day . Also it's non-refundable BUT a reimbursement could be arranged provided the entrants unanimously decide that it's okay to dip into the pot to pay back a portion of the money (I took out about $15 when I reserved for BBG7). OR you can be
cool and say "I do it for the love, not the money"...Next, the reservations are made online
( https://www.nycgovparks.org/email_forms/specialevent/ ) and by using credit/debit card (fastest results).Finally, how to fill out the form (politics), contacting the mediator and waiting for a reply/call to finalize the date.
If you choose to accept this mission...I
implore you contact me first before completing any forms and setting any dates. This issue must be discussed further in detail to avoid any screw ups. Please post if you have questions as I rarely check my pm's and will likely see an inquiry on the forums first. *Articulate chaps are the best candidates for this task. Ghetto is a no-go*
Should this altogether fail we always have
Plan V.
At least
three (3) laptops will be required in order to run the event in a timely fashion (yes, there are time constraints). With that being said, the more laptops the better! More than 5 is overkill though. Just post if you're interested in donating for the day and you will be added to a list. For those who know about my laptop...know about my laptop lol. It will be reserved as a paperweight of some sorts. But in all seriousness, my laptop will probably be used as a back up for tournament brackets in case something should happen to the primary source.
Explosive crowd noises, player expressions, interviews, and just those random wtf-moments is truly the essence of the fighting game event. Whether you just rocked someone's world or witnessed the most insane comeback, these moments captured via camcorder will allow you to relive the hype over and over again. Donate a camera and become immortalized in the history of yet another beginning for the Akatsuki Blitzkampf US Community.
I would like to interview the top8 players (feel free to decline), capture live screen footage of the top8 matches as well as jump around to the other participants to ask their views about the event and ABK itself. Should anyone be interested in helping out with a camera donation and possibly interviewing/recording please post up. **Good "camera personality" is a plus. Try to keep the swearing and the j*w puncher catch phrase to a minimum...I'm actually thinking about using this for a Sociology project for my class lol**
- Camera (I'm looking at you, Hal)
You don't have to donate persay. Just walk around and have fun. Take shots of the scenery, matches, wackiness, people eating, pimped out sticks, crowds, whatever! If it's related to the event then do you. Pics will hand picked and possibly added to the final product of video production- Which brings me to...
This is going to be a biggie for whoever decides to man up and tackle the task. Anyone with media expertise who can mesh together reps and live footage is definitely needed here. The epic
Dippy Pan is an example of exceptional production utilizing dvr and camera footage. Later emulations can be seen by Sp00ky as he produced a large portion of BBG events in the past. I'm not asking for footage to be upped in the same week but within a 2month time span would ease the anxiety of the players hungry to see their gameplay. I wish the best of luck and godspeed to whoever takes this on.
If production becomes a problem then the reps will be upped as usual and placed on youtube by somebody...maybe.
-External Speakers: Can you hear me now?
-Power strips: Because cell batteries and solar power won't do.
-Chairs: for your arse.
-Crates(?): yeah, I know but it's good to rest the laptops on them.
-Tripod: not crucial but it helps.
If you wish to provide any donations, help or whatever it may be please feel free to post up. Opinions and comments are welcome too.
Don't forget your 3 H's.
