This show was good. Christian Cage vs. Kofi Kingston was good and it showed that Kofi is a great competitor! Rhodes vs. Orton was good too. I wish Rhodes would have won though. Cena vs. Hogan will be good. Macho Man attacking the commentary guy was cool. I couldn't believe Sheamus's eight month streak ended! This is going to get good though.

I think you would be better off with a slideshow presentation. Preferably something made in a program such as Adobe After Effects. Please do that and it will be 200% better.

[darksoul]

Alright, I'll look into getting a hold of the program. Thanks for the comment, I plan to tweak my lay out and pictures as this progresses although I think I did pretty good for my first picture federation episode.

Sorry man, this just didn't work for me on a lot of levels.

I think the highlight format is okay, but have to highlight more. You need to show both guys hitting a few moves, etc. You're doing about 4-6 photos and those photos themselves aren't super compelling. You probably need to at least double the amount of photos. Even for highlights, they have to either be super compelling shots or you need a few more.

And Iron Man match in a pic fed is hard to pull off. The only way to really get that message across is with lots and lots of photos, IMO. Doing an Iron Man match in a highlight format is next to impossible and just came off really strange and uneventful. I mean you said it was an Iron Man match, but you didn't really do anything to make it an Iron Man match, essentially.

Putting all the photos together doesn't really work either. Maybe try to do it like the WWE has done their legends vs current guys on their website. Those were just highlights, but done in a much more rounded way.

Sorry to sound so harsh, just had high hopes for this one and would rather tell you the truth than just give you generic comments and praise.

I think odbjbg here is giving you the best advice. Honestly, I would have either not replied to your show or just say something generic and vague, but I do believe he is giving you some great pointers. You can also check the work of a guy that goes by thejudge in the poses area, he puts together some neat matches with just 5 images, might give you some ideas to make your particular work stand out.

[StingerSplash]

Yeah, odb put it best. It still seemed like a text fed to me, just with a few pictures thrown in. I really can't give any advice, because we haven't really seen a Pic-Fed yet.

[darksoul]

Alright, Well you know I gave it the best attempt I could with the time I'm given for my hobby, I just do not have the time to do 100 picture shows. I would love to do frame by frame action but like I said, I just do not have the spare time. So since I was asked to leave the text federation board during/since they reformatted with the fantasy booking, I don't really have any where to go with my show. So since I can't pull off a traditional picture federation, I guess I'll just hang up my boots. I've been around long enough to know when it's time to go. I ended my text federation stay with eight years under my belt, and a couple of months here looking on and doing a couple of posts. So Thank you all, I'm not offended by anything you've said, Thank you all for the help and advice.

I'll be around from time to time, if anyone wants to chat you know where to find me. Also, Stinger Splash you can lock this so it doesn't turn into a spamfest.

[WCM's Izzy]

I'm getting it before the lock down! Man, if you enjoy doing this, don't give up o it after all, it has to be fun for you. If you by any chance check my stuff, you will see my matches are way shorter than what a lot of people usually like, but you gotta go with what works for you. I can understand that shooting 100 pics takes time, but I'm also sure you can tell a great story in just 10-12 images, and maybe you just shoot for your matches, and write about all the stuff that goes on in between. I dunno, just giving you ideas so you don't feel like you have to hang up the gloves.

[StingerSplash]

Yeah like Izzy said don't make a rash decision. Think about it first. If you enjoy doing this, then do it! You'll get the hang of pic-fedding. Like Izzy said, 10-12 pics per match. Or something along those lines. Don't give it up yet.

Ok, so I see you've taken the link down and what not but I did watch this show yesterday so I'm still gonna comment.

I liked the idea, but I just think it needed 4 or 5 more pictures per match. Nobody is saying you have to do 100 pictures per match. Do a search back on the boards a few pages, deskjet produced a few shows called TNA:Revolution The Main Event, where he did recap style things for everything except the main event. If you could replicate the amount of pictures he did for those recaps, I don't think anyone would have a problem.

Don't give up man, nobody is here to bash or flame you. We just want to help you improve.
