At Dicing with Death, we understand how important it is to make the right first impression with potential backers on Kickstarter or Gamefound. Showcasing a high quality 4K video of the gameplay is paramount to introducing your audience to how your game looks, how it plays, it's core mechanics, and overall feel. We also understand how important it is to make sure production is of the highest quality. This is why we craft our videos with the use of cinema grade filming equipment, professional lighting & audio, studio quality editing & animation, and incredible attention to detail.

We pride ourselves on being a 'faceless' YouTube channel - the focus is on your game, not on us. We believe that every game can find it's audience, and with one of our expertly produced videos you can be sure that your playthrough will get the love and attention it deserves.

We are not a huge team of people - we are a UK based couple who are budding board game fanatics who love to make videos. See below for our playthroughs that have featured on successful campaigns, and what we could do for you.

OUR WORKFLOW - HOW WE ENSURE SUCCESS
WITH EVERY VIDEO WE MAKE

OUR WORKFLOW - HOW WE ENSURE SUCCESS
WITH EVERY VIDEO WE MAKE

We are proud to offer a robust workflow, collaborating as a team to make sure
your playthrough is delivered to the highest standard.

The final product is a combination of refining our methods over the past 12 months, meaning we can deliver the best playthroughs for our clients every time. We like to be transparent on the time it takes and the way we work - so you are involved every step of the way and understand our process.
LEARNING THE GAME
3-4 hours
Once we receive your game, we spend a good couple of sessions getting to know the rules and making sure we note down any questions along the way, meaning we get it right when we come to filming your game.
PRIVATE LIVESTREAM
1-2 hours
We create a private link to a livestream - just for you! We use this time to ask any questions, and for you to supervise the gameplay and let us know if anything needs to be done differently. We feel this helps streamline things.
FILMING THE VIDEO
2-4 hours
Using professional studio grade lighting, microphones and camera equipment, we film your top-down playthrough in glorious 4K. You never see our faces, but we do add our brand of humour into the mix to keep things entertaining.
MINI TURNTABLE SHOTS
1 hour
As a board game channel who loves miniatures, we love to showcase them - adding atmosphere with real fog machine effects. We love showing them off in all their glory, using turntables for a full 360 view.
MOTION GRAPHIC INTRO
2-3 hours
To get your playthrough off to a great start, we manipulate the box art and turn it into a clever animated intro clip in After Effects that commands attention right from the beginning, making every video unique.
DECK PHOTOGRAPHY
2 hours
We professionally photograph all cards used in our gameplay sessions, to edit into the video as overlays at key moments. This ensures that the cards are also legible throughout the video, and to showcase artwork and mechanics.
EDITING THE VIDEO
8-12 hours
Using professional editing software, we create a full length playthrough video, which can last anywhere from 1-3 hours (depending on the length of the session and the type of game). The video will be uploaded to our YouTube channel, and you can share wherever is needed!
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
Choosing Dicing With Death for Your Playthrough Video
If this is your first game or one of a series, we can bring a class of video to your campaign seldom seen on other YouTube channels. Not only do we use top of the range equipment, but we have over 20 years experience between us in videography, editing, photography, sound mixing and animation. Also, as true board game enthusiasts, we deliver a brand of humour and in depth gameplay akin to sitting around the table with your friends, having a fun and relaxed game night.

WE CREATE
PLAYTHROUGHS

NOT REVIEWS
Our motto is 'Every Game Can Find It's Audience' - we're all about showcasing your game, not our opinions. Each one of our playthrough videos are a full length journey on how the game is played, from beginning to end.

WE FOCUS ON
THE GAME

NOT ON OURSELVES
Your game will be framed perfectly, filmed and edited expertly, and focused on throughout the video. You'll never see us (except for our arms), but we'll deliver our dry and funny banter along the way to keep it entertaining.

WE HAVE TONS
OF EXPERIENCE

OVER 20 YEARS
We are no spring chickens - but this means we have a wealth of experience in videography, editing, camera equipment, lighting and audio. We have refined the best possible workflow and only use studio grade methods (you'll see no iPhones or Filmora here). Every video is unique, but our production value always remains.

WE WORK TO
TIGHT DEADLINES

FOR CAMPAIGN LAUNCH
We understand that sometimes the run up to Launch Day can be very busy, and as such usually receive games quite late in the day to produce playthroughs. However, we can work very quickly, and have your video produced in as little as 2 weeks. The longer we have the better, but we get that sometimes deadlines can be tight!

This will be uploaded to our DWD channel and you may share/embed it anywhere you like!
