Introduction:
PUNK9 had a great idea: help other Pikachu players record replays in a more YouTube-able format for those who don't know how, or lack the resources to do so, thereby allowing them to show off their Pikachu for whatever purpose would aid the Pika community.
However, Real Life decided to intervene, so the project got put on an indefinite hiatus barring someone else to pick up the torch and keep recording.
Well, that someone has arrived. I was recommended to create a new thread as opposed to reviving the old one, so I could control the OP. So therefore, here it is.
I am also aware there is a service like this elsewhere on the boards. However, this one is different as it is exclusively for us Pikas.
Also, I just wanna see some more new Pika vids.
How to get Your Replay Recorded:
This should hopefully be pretty simple. If it's not, somebody's doing something wrong. Probably me.
What I Need from You:
Most importantly, I need the replay(s) in question, of course! I don't really care how you get them to me. Links to places like mediafire or your own personal webspace, trade Wii friend codes and sent to me via the in-game replay sender, file transfer over instant messaging clients, IP via carrier pigeon, whatever. Get it to me somehow.
What you'll get back is a 16:9 720p replay, all ready to be YouTube'd (I also take special orders, like different aspect ratios and stuff. Ask for details if you need them.). I can give the replays to you via Megaupload for you to download or I can upload them to my YouTube channel (or if you're insane, and trust me with your details, I can upload them directly to your YouTube channel).
If you upload them to YouTube or whatever video service you use, the only thing I ask is a thank-you. (Careful when downloading the movie file. They weigh in at 400+MB a pop. Make sure you can download such a thing in a reasonable amount of time).
If you want me to upload it to my channel (which I'll assume you want if you don't tell me otherwise), please tell me the following:
If any custom content is involved (provided it falls under the restrictions below) beyond just unlimited-length replays and saving tags in the replays, you'll need to provide me with them as well, if I do not already have the content in question.
What you get:
You will either get a PM with a link to the video files, or a PM link to the video on my channel. Links to videos on my YouTube channel will also be updated here.
I will try to turn around requests within 24-48 hours, however, if real life gets in the way, obviously that'll take priority. I'll keep everyone informed on updates. If you don't get your movie back in that amount of time, bug me until you get it.
Here's an example of what to expect.
The Rules:
You Can Help!
If you've got a capture device and you're willing to record for other Pikas, lemme know (and any idiosyncratic rules you might have), and we'll make this a team effort.

What is your recording setup?

I have some non-Pika replays I'd like to have recorded, but you say you're only recording Pikachu-related stuff, is there some other way to get them recorded?
Yes! There are people on the Videography board who are perfectly happy to record those replays for you, specifically the We Record Your Replays thread.

If you want me to upload it to my channel (which I'll assume you want if you don't tell me otherwise), please tell me the following:
- WiFi or not
- Tourney (+ tourney name)/Money Match/Friendly (includes Seriouslies/Meanlies)
- Date (Approximate date is good enough if you don't know the exact date).
- Handles of the combatants. Especially important if you go by a different name than here.

Here's an example of what to expect.
The Rules:
- I will only record replays between two or more human (or other sapient creature discovered in the future) players. Item use is discouraged, but acceptable in limited doses (e.g. if it's part of a special tournament, like one that turns on smash balls).
- There must be at least one Pikachu involved. It doesn't have to be you. In fact, you could be you pummeling the crap out of an opposing a Pikachu, and that's OK.
- I'm willing to do custom textures, even though I don't have many right now. Be prepared to provide them/provide me a way to acquire them.
- I am NOT willing to do custom soundtracks UNLESS you can demonstrate to me that the music involved is copyleft (e.g. Creative Commons -- be prepared to show me the license for it as well in this case) or Public Domain (or other, similar won't-get-lawyers-involved states).
- Any and all of these rules can be waived for any reason, however, waiving is at my discretion (as it's my capture device). As well, I reserve the right to not record someone's replays for any reason (it's unlikely that I won't, however).

SPECIAL RULES FOR PIKACHU CCV CLIPS
- Please note in your request that the replay is for the CCV.
- Please tell me approximately where the clip in question starts (and/or what it is I'm recording).
- These will only be going up on my youtube as 480p unlisted videos (to speed getting the vids up for selection). The editor will recieve the raw video, however.
- Don't worry about how good it is. Just gimmie things to record! Let someone else weed through everything!
