Hey guys this is my first post, Im very new and ive only been paintballing 4 or 5 times but im really enjoying it.
After my 2nd time I decided I would try and record some of the gameplay, I already owned a go pro for scuba diving recording so it wasn't going to be a huge investment if it didn't work or I just never went paintballing again.
I purchased a cheap mask and attached the Go pro mount to it, I also decided to buy a cheap pod belt and some other accessories all under around £20.00 just to improve the experience.
This was my first attempt please bare in mind that this was my 3rd time playing, my 1st time recording and my 1st time editing.
So after I edited the first game I made a video of the whole day which is here.
Really proud with the first game me and a friend won the game by our selfs.
After these attempts it was time for some improvements, First I fixed the tapping noise that my mask was making as a ran, (simple fix really a just stuffed the gaps of my mask and camera with cotton wool) then I adjusted the angle of the camera, (the last video I felt the camera was looking to much at the floor) I purchased a few more things to help improve gameplay; some proper footwear and clothing, a cup, balaclava and knee pads. I then tried to keep the camera lens cleaner and focused on making sure my head was pointing correctly. I have learnt a few more editing tricks and feel like im progressing well.
Here's the finished video from the last time ive played.
Ive also done a custom paint job to my mask which turned out better than I thought. Thinking of buying a mirrored lens to finish the look.
Im now looking to book some more games this summer and have purchased my own ammo pods, the only thing im really missing equipment wise now is a gun but at the moment the places im playing only allow rentals, and I doubt my friends will be interested in investing a gun for walk on days. But hey you never know.
I hope you all enjoy and if you have any tips for a newbie, whether it be tips on recording, editing, gameplay tips or anything else please ask away, Id love any advice you can offer.
See you all later
