Hello all! As you may or may not know, I run the wiki's YouTube channel which is dedicated to providing a sort of centralized location for high-quality gameplay videos of various Sonic games.
This footage is typically provided by others besides myself, but I'd like to try and get a wider variety of games up on the channel. If you think you'd like to help, then great! That would be super appreciated. There are some guidelines, however:
Footage should be recorded in at least 720p, though 1080p or higher is preferred. Some exceptions may be made for older games.
Gameplay must be recorded by some method of screen capture, be it an external capture card or built-in recording software. Pointing a camera at the screen is not allowed.
Per wiki policy, emulators are allowed in order to achieve a higher quality recording - no modifications such as HD texture mods are permitted, however.
Footage should show the loading screen/intro for the stage, as well as the ranking screen.
No watermarks or edits.
Extra footage (such as the menu before the stage or the loading screen after the stage) is acceptable, as that can be cut out in editing.
You should try to avoid excessive deaths or anything that would make the stage a lot longer than it would normally be.
You should also try to avoid utilizing glitches or speedrunning tricks, as that may limit how much of the stage is actually shown in the videos - they are meant to showcase the stage, after all.
Additionally, here is a list of games that are currently being recorded/are already finished and we do not need footage for:
Sonic 1
Sonic Spinball
Sonic 1 (Game Gear)
Sonic Chaos
Sonic Drift
Sonic Labyrinth
Sonic 3D Blast
Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

There may be some other games that have people looking to record them, but if you’re interested in recording something that isn’t on this list, please let me know! Feel free to leave a message on this thread, or on my message wall, and thanks for stopping by.
(Edit: please also let me know if you have Discord, as sending a DM will be the easiest way to send the upload folders to people.)
