Idea for Vids

[DaExMan]

Hey
I just joined the site, so far so good. I just have one request. I play alot of tourneys and I would like to see some rebuy and satellite vids. I think there are some interesting dynamics that are different from normal tourneys. Just an idea. Thanks

An idea I had for videos was rather than a lecture-style format, wherein one professional gives voiceover commentary while he plays, instead make a video of a coaching session. The format would be the student playing, and talking about his plays, why he's making them, etc., and of the coach giving feedback on why some plays might be sub-optimal, etc. I think the dialog format could be more instructive, because instead of seeing just good plays, we see leaks, bad plays, and find out why they are bad... and when the disagreements and discussed and reconcile and we come to find the spots could legitimately go either way.

The technical logistics might be a bit difficult, with some computers perhaps not capable of both screen sharing and recording video, and the question of how to get both participants audio in, but I think the result would be pretty cool.

Something like this demo of Video 146:

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.stoxpoker.com/flash/FlowPlayer.swf" />

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noScale" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="flashvars" value="config={ showPlayListButtons: true, autoPlay: true, playList: [ { url: 'http://www.stoxpoker.com/flash/U-2a.jpg' }, { url: 'http://mediaserver2.stoxpoker.com:8080/D/MD5_0fa5e6e08dce6859ded276c51a5ed3b9.flv' } ], showFullScreenButton: false, fullScreenScriptURL: 'http://www.stoxpoker.com/flash/fullscreen.js', showMenu: true, menuItems: [ 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0 ], initialScale: 'scale' }" />
