Silburned Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hey Everyone, I will be starting a live stream that is primarily focused on Lego builds. Since I build sets regularly I thought, "Why not share it with a community?". I am going to have my first stream on Twitch tomorrow night. I see a lot of build videos, but not too many that are actually live. There is a monthly calendar that I will keep updated on what I will build and when. Currently I am only planning 3 days a week and will be live later in the evening, I have a day job to maintain . So anyone that wants to come and hang out, head over to http://www.twitch.tv/silburned tomorrow at 8pm PDT. Thanks, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 What a great idea. Sounds like fun. Have you considered Periscope at all? It's owned by Twitter and has some great integration. I never gave that a thought but I think the next time I do a build i might have to do this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silburned Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Thanks Alpine, I am excited to start. Looks like Periscope is meant more for phone broadcasting. Cool idea.I like the idea of Twitch or YouTube as I think they can handle the quality better. Currently I will be streaming at 720p, but I plan to do 1080p soon. Eventually I may stream some games on my channel so Twitch seems like a good fit for now.Tonight will be the first stream, I will be building 10193 MMV. Tomorrow I plan on building my all time childhood favorite, 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) like the idea. but kinda waiting for you (or others) spending 20 min looking for a piece that fell of the table edit: don't know Twitch but periscope would allow same time feed back Edited August 7, 2015 by brickcrazyhouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silburned Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hopefully dropped/ missing pieces will be a minimal inconvenience. I'm pretty organized when it comes to Lego so replacement parts are easy to find. Also, I have limited broadcast time so I am taking every necessary step to keep the build progressing with no downtime.Twitch has a real time chat as well. So interaction between me and the viewers will be quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silburned Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 So I did two streams last week on Friday and Saturday night. Not sure if anyone on here tuned in but I had a lot of fun. Saturday was more active with viewers and general Lego discussions. There were a few hiccups with the first stream with cameras, software, etc. I think it is all worked out now. I will start having past broadcasts saved to my profile so anyone can watch the recent builds. These are only saved for 2 weeks on Twitch so I may upload them to YouTube as well. The only draw back is that you can't see the Chat window.My next build stream will be on Wednesday night and I plan on doing 8038 - The Battle of Endor.
