Got a feeling of "somg this is so g33kie" feeling at the start but it soon went away.
A few bumps that have mostly been mentioned but overall a good show. Might want to set up the guests better beforehand during live interviews so the interviewer does not stand infront of them(ex. miss five with spiral and the indian).

I watched the first episode with the 1000k stream. No buffering, but the video frame rate was really low.
The things that really bothered me have already been mentioned, but I'll point them out again so you know more people care about the.
Having to look down constantly. Audio levels were all over the map. Guests sitting on the left of the desk with nothing to do for several minutes.
I don't think anyone mentioned this yet. Paying for the episode and then paying more to watch the full interview with Hellmar?

They seemed a bit nervous in the beginning but then it seemed to pan out
I would like them to ask exactly what made a person want to go to the player get-togethers more directly. In other words don't let them say it was just to get together and have some beer. :)

terrible video and audio quality - even the 1000k stream was dismal, no interesting infos what so ever except maybe the hellmar interview that wasn't even included completly LOL
then the player simply stopped about half way thru and i had to restart the stream to be able to continue watching.
the actual show was also pretty lame tbh... it seemed so rigid and scripted and the beginning was escpecially terrible.. i don't know guys... i liked the REAL eve-tv about 1000 times more.
now if the show were free then i'd probably not watch it.. if i have to pay... no ******* way mates.
the entire thing was quite dissapointing... forcible funny (but it wasn't) and so rigid.
- video quality -> 2 out of 10 (i've seen tv-links ripoffs with better quality) - audio quality -> 4 out of 10 (stream was bad but the interviews were worst. ie. hellmar was loud but spiral was really quite..) - performance of actors -> 4 out of 10 (see above) - interesting infos -> 2 out of 10 (only the hellmar interview had anything new and relevant and that was cut) - presentation / set -> 1 out of 10 (the sofa and coffee table looked about 10000 times betten then the cheap blue box background rubish) overall -> 1 out of 10 (one point less then i would have given because the player crashed)
likelihood of me paying -> 0%
good luck guys... you will so need it. |

It was a bit 'ever-so-serious' wasn't it?
It's a game afterall. Possibly because of nervousness, but please smile and make it a but more light hearted. I started to lose interest part way through, got a bit cringe-worthy and instead watched my credits tick away wondering whether I'll pay.
Eve has a rich history, it should be used more I think, the MC bit was excellent, Hellmar was left to to ramble on unchallenged for too long, I didn't really 'get' why the 3 were in the studio, something about new player experience? The empire gank news bit was pointless, there is much more newsworthy stuff than that.
I struggled to concentrate on what was being said by spiral mainly as he spoke far too fast and with all the looking down it was hard to follow, must be very difficult for people who don't speak English as their first language. Worth sorting out I think.
But hey it's a pilot, you are all (obviously) getting used to it and I'll watch to see how it improves.
Good luck |

Edited by: Aeleva on 23/06/2007 15:29:19 Edited by: Aeleva on 23/06/2007 15:21:25 Definatly the sound is a pain, hellmar sounds fine but spiral doesnt sound very clear, not loud enough and a bit flat. Definatly great for a first time, some room to improve but relativly worth it :)
Ooo yeah interview, skorniks levels need to be dropped.
Although that really is the only gripe, the MC bit was really good. Skornik is hurting my ears :(
Remember guys, its the first episode, everyone is nervous and finding their feet. I would guess it will really improve as everyone relaxs more and gets used to it all.

Now in my humble opinion I think that for the first show this was a very good show and having been on live television before and filmed with other crews I can tell you that the productions values are far better than some other projects I have been involved in.
As to the comments someone made referring to me as "that girl" or "girl" I cant quite remember who suggested we should be trained in presenting...well if you want to see just point blank training coming across then that is your choice. Yes I was nervous, how would you be put in front of the camera as yourself for the first time? Furthermore, I "um" and "ah" in my every day life when I am dealing with new subject matter, please do remember that myself and my co presenters are dealing with a new and complicated game. Generally if I am talking about a subject that I don't know much about with someone who is clearly very passionate about that subject then I am very careful with what I say to them which displays itself in my speech e.g "Um" and "ah". Have you watched other programmes that you have paid for with your TV license and watched how many times the presenters stumble because believe me they do and even presenters with a great deal of training will falter in their first few shows.
It is all very well to give criticism but I would never put forward criticism about something unless I had done the job and considered that I had done that job better than the person I was criticizing. No one has been asked to pay for EVE TV this week so why the scathing criticism....a pilot is just that and everyone has worked extremely hard over the last two weeks with some feeling their way in a job they have not previously done. Please take a step back and realize how hard all these jobs are and that this is not a grand scale BBC or ITV set up. This show has been created by fans of EVE for fans of EVE that means you, people have done what they feel is right and best, the show will develop but give it time people and support.

I used the 1000kbps stream. I was able to watch the entire show without the slightest hiccup; in fact, by the time I was through half of it, the entire video had long since finished precaching. To all those who got buffering issues... I seriously doubt the problem lies on Jalipo's side this time
Thanks to the high bitrate the image quality was quite good, I watched fullscreen at 1680x1050 and had no noticeable pixellation effects or other problems. I merely noticed that the background graphics you were using could do with a little higher texture resolution - especially during the Hellmar interview there was an exceptionally muddled piece of texture thingy right in the middle between him and spiral. And maybe some animations, like blinking lights and moving parts? And, are you sure the table isn't a little cramped for four people to sit on at once? The table used during the last tournament had more room on it and around it, which in my opinion allowed for better close-ups of single guests in the group. Of course, it might just be that everyone wanted to be close to Kasumi However I'm making the studio set seem worse than it is, so don't take me too serious here.
As pointed out before, microphone values need some adjusting. Dressing the hosts in black and then using bright lighting and light grey backgrounds kind of makes them look a bit too serious and sterile (unrelated to their attempts to act professional and present facts in a neutral manner, I mean. That succeeed well enough in my opinion). Maybe get a bit more dynamic with the camera angles. I also missed a sort of splash screen when cutting between different studio sets and reports, like the little video sequence that was used at the third alliance tournament... it would add some more dynamic feel. But it probably would have to be a very very short splash screen, else it would bloat up the episode length too much.
The dip into the Hellmar interview was too long - presenting one interesting sample question (or better, a collection of specific quotes cut together) and then moving on with the show would have been better. The interview itself was rather static... it does better as a stand-alone, and watched by those who are really interested in it. Without doubt he had some very interesting things to say, but in watching EVE-TV I was looking more for event reports and the alliance profile, and thus I felt that the interview sequence took a few minutes too long.
The time could have been better used for the Scrapheap Challenge report, which went past too quickly. Maybe a minute or two of actual combat after jumping through a gate and engaging hostiles, with the teamspeak recording in the background, would have been very interesting.
The preview on the London Player Meet report was done better. It had several fast cuts through different scenes, and succeeded much better in giving a general overview and summary than an uncut sequence grabbed somewhere from in the middle of it ever could. It was especially interesting to see the extremely wide array of different people that attended.
The alliance profile was very well done. Next week I want to see Outbreak. Or IRON. Or IAC, but only when they're all completely smashed drunk
A suggestion that I have regarding the news... Skornik says the show is produced on Wednesdays, so they aren't very up-to-date when broadcasted on Saturday. Would it be possible to intentionally leave a short blank in the Wednesday production where a sort of 'breaking news' bit could be inserted if something special happened in the days afetrwards? This bit could be recorded on Friday afternoon, wouldn't take more than a minute and would only need a single host presenting the news without much else around it. Then it could seamlessly fit into the preproduced show. And if there was nothing worth reporting, the show could just be broadcasted as is instead.
Overall it was nice to watch, and I look forward to future shows.

Moreover, we are "presenting" not "acting" they are two very different disciplines...I trained as an actress and not to blow my own trumpet (I think thats the expression) but I am a very good one. I do hope that I can live up to your standards and I am a perfectionist at heart and a caring soul so I am sorry if my rant seemed a little harsh. I often sit at my TV screaming (generally at David Tennant playing the Doctor - but sometimes in angst at something going wrong) but hey things are never perfect in life and it is my feeling that sometimes TV programmes and theatre programmes cant help but reflect this after all real people make it...I just know how hard the team has been working this week often without sleep and they are really great guys WELL DONE AND THANK YOU (now get some sleep)

im not blaming you at all, its not your fault eve tv spent all there money on a studio, i know how hard it was for me to get to grips with eve when i started so i cant imagine how hard it must be for you to have to get to know the world of eve and present it and talk with people who know the ins and outs of the game, but why didnt they give to time in advance and sit you down with either the devs or players for a few days and teach you how to play the game and get you some good background knowledge so not only can you ask questions and understand what it is your asking and understand the answer but maybe follow up with a question not on the script and as you know the game well you will be able to think of questions on the fly. as for the um and ahh, this isnt every day life, this is presenting a show yes news reporters um and ahh but not very often but again i guess it comes with lots of experience, BBC presenters for example are on almost every day live so i guess they get used to it whereas this is only a weekly show. you fortuna must have some great qualities which is why you were chosen to present, im sure there are hundreds of thousands of eve players out there who know a lot about eve who would die to present but you were chosen and i look forward to seeing you in the next show. (if your on before my credits run out :P)
also i may add all the big news channels are on Freeview these days so we dont pay a penny, ok we pay a tv licence etc but we get 200 channels, whereas with eve we pay for 1 30min slot a week for 1 show, we cant switch over on the boring bits and come back later on, we have to sit though the whole thing, but again thats not your fault thats the way the show is given to the public.

Hello again. My co presenters and I have had the benefit of being spoken to by some veteran players of EVE as well as being filmed during the New Player experience. I appreciate and accept your comments/concerns but EVE is a huge game and there are many different factions within the world e.g stories/alliances etc that it may take days and days to explain. I am sure that there are still players that have been playing for a considerable amount of time that would still find it hard to entirely understand or know about everything that goes on in EVE for example this forum is filled with information but it takes time to go through it and its hard when new stories crop up. I am and was doing at the player meet the best I could on limited knowledge. I love playing EVE and it was a pleasure to interview and come into contact with people who were so very passionate about the game, my passion if not my knowledge I am sure equals that of many players new and old alike.
I hope in time to be as knowledgeable about EVE as other players and believe me I am working hard to get there. Furthermore, it is very hard to break a habitual life habit...I spoke to someone I live with who commented "Yes you do um and ah alot" strangely I dont appear to do that when I play a role. I think I do it just to let people know I am taking in and processing what they are saying...it may be the little bits I have picked up from psychologists who frequently um and ah a lot lol (not me seeing a therapist btw but me observing one) hmmm on the subject I could see how that could be rather irritating now...I shall work on it (((EvilEden)))

Although as sombody says the audio track levels are uneven - Needs a little Dynamic Range Compression to sort that out (your audio engineer should know how to deal with that). -----

Congratulations on the first Eve TV weekly show. I think the show has a lot of potential and I hope to see it go from strength to strength.
Just a couple of thoughts...
Captions: As someone else has already noted, we could have done with captions during the player meet interviews - that would have also saved us having to hear everyone introduce themselves so we would have had more time to hear what they thought about the player meet and the game itself. Also, you don't need to capitalise the first letter of each word in the caption (it just makes them more difficult to read) - a spell checker might have been good as well.
Interview techique: Always work out what you're going to ask before you open your mouth - it's just a lot easier that way, believe me. If the interviewee is struggling a bit just ask them another question (as Spiral pointed out you can always edit that bit out) or ask them the question again in a slightly different way.
Hearing Helmar talk about the sociology of MMOs was pretty interesting but given the time (and cost) constraints I think it would have been a lot better to get him to directly address what CCP is going to do with this council thing and how and when it is going to happen - I haven't seen anything from CCP that answers those questions so that would have been a great scoop for you guys.
I also don't think it's necessary to interview all three studio guests in one take - why not have Kasumi and Spiral talking about her new player experience and then have a separate section talking to the London player meet guys? By trying to do everyone at once you're just making life trickier than it needs to be.
In a recorded show there really isn't any excuse for Spiral finishing a segment by saying "Errr, that's it". Give the poor man a link to the next bit of the show or some other kind of sign-off line. Even a "I'm sorry, that's all we've got time for this week" is better than nothing.
Oh and can the budget stretch to getting StevieSG some hair conditioner? The poor girl's hair is all over the place.
Hope this is helpful.

the first episode wasn't really as bad is i expected it to be.
the thing that botherd me most is the britsh accent (don't take it personal guys, but i don't really like it, never did)! wouldn't be such a bad thing it it were 2 or 3 of the host but since everyone of them is british (with you can easily hear) it's kinda getting on my nerves and really does not represent eve's internationality properly.
oh and btw, the chicks looked better on the photos :D

Originally by: FortunaFive Now in my humble opinion... [rant]
Someone a little defensive here?
Look, obviously more than a few people are coming into this a little biased at the hiring of "actors" and other folks with professional media training (and good looks) over people who actually play Eve with a passion, but by and large, aside from one incredible rip at you guys, the responses in this thread have been mostly constructive with regards to criticism.
Looking more at a camera as opposed to your notes is broadcast journalism 101, and even as an actor you know the value getting a script out of your hand does for your performance level.
The New York Times hasn't weighed in here, these are some of your viewers offering real advice and some criticism. Sure no one had to pay to watch the "pilot" as it were, but this was your moment to show people why they should pay for this service. Did it fail? I don't think it did, but you guys have room to improve.
Also understand that given how ETV has gone "Pro" expectations are going to be higher, and when money is involved, yes people are going to call you out for the mistakes they see. You're going to be charging about the same to view a single episode of ETV ONCE as they would to download an episode of Battlestar off of itunes they can watch as much as they want. I'm not saying you need to have that kind of budget or quality, and it's certainly not even the same genre of media, but the point of that statement is that if you're going to be a "Pro" people are going to expect you to act like it.
You don't see pros come out of a broadcast that didn't go off as well as they'd have liked and rebuke criticism with "But we put A LOT of work and sleepless nights into this, you're being unfair!" No, you don't. They settle down afterwards, take an inventory on what they need to improve on, and work it out for next time.
Hey, if this was still an amature production like the alliance tournaments have been with goofyness and impromptu mistakes and humor I bet hardly anyone would have anything to say but "Good job on a first show guys". the moment you attach a price tag to something, you place a relative value to it and you cross the line into professionalism.
You wanna be a pro? Act like it. Put yourself above the comments of a couple of bitter individuals, don't give them the pleasure of a rebuttal to their spouts. Those 2 rant posts above that you made only serve to make you look decidedly unprofessional, overly sensitive to criticism, and if I may say, a bit whiny. Buck up.
A couple mistakes were made, you knew what they were before anyone even started talking about it I'm sure. Take a moment to think on how you might improve for next week and convince us why we should want to pay to see you next week. --- Some people think pirates are better. Pirates are clumsy.

No content protection system is perfect but being able to re-watch something you've paid for would be great.
Get a compressor/limiter for the audio track :) you can get them for about $100 or for free plugins for your favourite audio editor.

Originally by: yesiamtom ahhh its to professional. I remeber the good old couch with ifni and co and spiral junkie is his arm chair. That was good and it felt like a game. Im afraid this desk and stuff is a bit to professional for me
Yeah, pretty much this. It doesn't have that 'we're all part of the community' thing that you got from the old setup, in fact the only part that really worked atmosphere-wise was the Hellmar interview.
It seems that its a little too 'serious business' right now, and trying to explain things for the complete newbie. While this is nice for the newbies, it means you have a bunch of vet players going 'what is this dumbed down ****' and a bunch of newbies going 'I still don't really understand whats going on'. I think a more 'veteran player friendly' approach would see more success, newbies will eventually learn wtf is going on anyway.
Apart from that, the topics covered were pretty nice, god yes an autocue is so necessary, and there are a few dodgy edit points (end of the Hellmar interview most glaringly) and sound issues. I expect this sort of thing will be polished out with more experience though.
And yes, I will be paying for next weeks instalment

Here's a tip for you guys, friendly free advice:
When you are reading from a script, and are interviewing somebody, LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY so you can formulate a response and be involved in the conversation. Don't just ask then tune them out. When you do that, you will go back to the script (head sinking into paper) and you won't be engaged in the conversation.
Listening actively and making sure that you have a few responses set up in your mind as they are talking gives you a professional advantage and makes you look like you know what's going on. _________________ Burn. |
