Glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun making it. It's easy to mention "I set up for a while before each video" but it was kind of fun to walk through the whole thing.

Thanks, hope it was fun to see!

@@boardgameplays It was 😁

I keep waiting to respond to this because I want to give you the ultimate list, but I'll throw out some ideas and maybe add a more definitive list in the comments later. Camera. I'm already on the Nikon system so I couldn't imagine switching (and replacing lenses) at this point. That would really increase cost. I'm most interested in getting a used 780, 850, or at least a 2nd gen mirrorless. My reasoning is these cameras handle 4k if needed, and do not the 20 minute time restriction. And obviously look a lot better due to being many years newer. Lighting has 3 main routes. Cheapest, get a bunch more sockets and keep adding cheap bulbs (more light = camera looks better). Mid tier, buying legit bulbs with high CRI/ color rendition that fit my current standard sockets. Or most expensive, shop.aputure.com/products/amaran-200x-s?_gl=1*a93p8c*_gcl_au*MTI5NzE0Njc2MS4xNzA3MTUxODY2 This Amaran brand is probably a little more than I'd need. But if I was looking for something to really solve the light situation 2 if these lights (or maybe the tier 1 or 2 below) would be great. Tripods i know the least about specifics. Other than I've gotten cheap tripods from Walmart or resale shops and they are massively disappointing. Thanks for watching the video and sorry for the long delay. I'll let you know if I put some more links in the description later on.

Hi there, thanks for checking it out. I have an S9, so about 5 years old. So not the newest or the oldest. I think it looks decent because I'm able to get a bunch of lamps pulled up closely. Settings wise for the game shot: -pro mode (to controll exposure) -30fps (I like the look of 60, but would need double the light) -60 shutter speed (should be twice your frame rate) -then I set a constant ISO so it's not getting brighter and darker during the play. I try to set ISO so pure white is close to pure white for the phone camera, this helps with noise down the road. -color temp is super annoying on the phone. I set to match my bulbs basically, but it still screws up the colors I am happy the board looks decent. If you noticed from the quick cut away to Isle of Cats as the beginning of the video, my real camera looks better than the phone, but then I run into the issues I've mentioned about getting the camera high enough. Oh, and I edit in Davinci Resolve. I add a little sharpening there and it does a decent job of not putting in too much more noise. Hope I didn't miss any settings, let me know if you have any questions about that.
