Hello guys,

I have a question and I hope you can help me out.

I'm currently making a tutorial about how to do skill moves in fifa 13. Basicly I want to show people what buttons to press and which sticks to move on their xbox/ps3 controller to do the skillmove.


I have an example but I can't post links in this thread unfortunately.

What would be the best way of approaching this?



Thanks alot!

The only ways I can think of is just using a camera to record the controller, or do an animation of the controller and show the controls that way.
 
I recommend that you get a camera and show the moves on the controller. Then you can have like a little box where it shows the actual move being preformed as you're doing it.
 
Hmm yeah I thought about a camera, but it has one problem. Your hands would block some stuff and it's not easy to see for the viewers.

I've seen other youtubers do it without a camera and it looks really smooth.

Example:

Still wondering how it can be done..

Yeah that looks pretty hard to do aswell, couldnt you just achieve the same thing by putting text and arrows?

Use a camera to shoot birds eye view of the controller.
Record gameplay at the same time.

Sync the two and insert the camera footage as a PIP effect into the gameplay footage.

Voila!

I do this with some of my app reviews - check the one in my sig, for example, where I want to show my fingers on the phone screen as well as show gameplay.
