2024 raw footage: Tournament of Arms (main season)

Saturday August 24th – Pyrate Invasion

Raw footage 3/119

My purpose in filming this show on this day was to record as much of Sir Lilith as possible, in case the pattern of previous years continued and she left after the first two weekends. Other than that, I mostly tried to point the camera at the obvious focus, and include as much of the combat as possible. But front row meant I couldn't always include everything.

2024 raw footage: Tournament of Arms (main season)

Saturday September 7th – Viking Weekend

Raw footage 13/119

My purpose in filming this show on this day was to capture Karissa Kosman's performance as leader of the Thieves' Guild. That being said, I wanted to be as uninvolved with the camera as possible, as this was my friend's first visit this season and I didn't want to distract her. So once the opening fight was done, the camera went back on the tripod. There is no tilting and limited panning for the regular fights.

2024 raw & aimless footage: Tournament of Arms (main season)

Sunday August 25th – Pyrate Invasion

Raw footage 7/119

Aimless footage of Tournament of Arms on Sunday the 25th of August, 2024 (Pyrate Invasion). On opening weekend, one of the ToA fights on Sunday was completely different than on Saturday. If such difference was to be the norm, I wanted to record it. My camera was occupied by the third Pastimes set, however, so I brought my iPad, set it rolling, and just kinda let it sit, not even looking at it, with the intention of picking it up and aiming if something unique or noteworthy happened. As such, it frequently drifts to pointing mainly at the ground, and most people are at least partially obscured most of the time (there's a whole lot of just legs, definitely some accidental crotch shots, I'm so sorry); and it is at a Dutch angle more often than not. Nevertheless, it is antithetical to my archival values to not make information available if I have it. Therefore, this is here. Definitely the sort of thing to use as background whilst mending or otherwise working with your hands, rather than giving it your full attention.
