TL;DR

DeadFlip tests new camera angles streaming Bram Stoker's Dracula, prioritizing viewer experience over gimmicks.

Summary

DeadFlip streams Bram Stoker's Dracula pinball on October 22, 2015, using the session primarily to experiment with new camera angles and positioning for streaming content. The host tests multiple camera placements (helmet cam, crotch cam, casket cam, coin door cam) to improve visual variety and stream quality, while playing the machine and engaging with chat. Technical discussion focuses on camera ergonomics, playfield visibility, and avoiding gimmicks like 'tilt bob cams' that the host dismisses as pointless.

Key Claims

  • Bram Stoker's Dracula is available on Pinball Arcade digital platform

    high confidence · Host confirms 'Yeah, man... I believe this pin is on the Pinball Arcade oh yeah it definitely is It definitely is.'

  • Tilt bob cams are pointless and provide no value to streaming

    high confidence · Host states 'I'm not doing a freaking tilt bob ramp. Those are ridiculous they're ridiculous. There's no point to them... If I have to be against one thing that has come out of cameras and pinball coming together, it's tilt bob cams. They're pointless.'

  • Different camera angles and movement improve visual contrast and reduce washed-out appearance

    medium confidence · Host explains 'if this wasn't moving, it would look just as washed out, but it's because you're getting all these other contrasts and colors. If this is moving around, like if we game different angles and stuff, it wouldn't look so washed out.'

    medium confidence · Multiple references to testing camera positions on 'Heavy Metal Meltdown' machine during experimentation

🎵 big no. Be ready. Thank you. I never church so if you get on the screen but Yes, uh, yes, uh. What's going on, everybody?
2:36
Oh, crap, I moved this camera closer on accident. Guys, we got a surprise in store for you. Hopefully it works.
2:46
If it doesn't, we're going to have to adjust it. There we go. Move it back ladies and gentlemen, move it back. Whoo! Subject to ravioli. I said pinball story for today, I was playing Attack from Mars on my phone, it was one shot away from completing Attack Mars and thus... Ah, that sucks Ryu. You doinked the shot. I threw my phone. Yeah, I threw my phone too dude. That sucks. Surprise, yay!
3:26
Do you guys want to see what the... where's my keyboard? Hello? It's literally in front of me. Oh ho ho ho. I'm stupid. You guys want to see something cool? That ain't it. That's it. We got a camera up in that machine, dog. Hold on, let's just see what it looks like real quick.
4:09
Ah, the coin door came open. Ah, the coin door. Hold on, we're gonna... Let me try this one more time.
4:25
Get over that ramp. Oh, you suck. Yeah, it's under the glass. It's right on top of the left slingshot. I tried for some cooler angles, but there's no room. There's no room.
4:49
No, the glass is on, ladies and gentlemen. The glass is on. See? My son. It's pretty rad. Figured we'd give it a shot. Because we can do this.
5:25
Do you have the new view incorporated with the other views yet? You mean like I'm showing you? Yeah, baby.
5:40
Also, can you change scenes in the middle of playing? Hold on. Hold on, let me try something. That might be way too small.
6:14
Yeah, that's too small. Jeez. I'm just trying to play with different things, guys. I'm trying to play with some different setup.
6:31
I want a cooler way of... Probably crop out the speakers. Exactly, Zach. If I crop in on the DMD, I can make more room for the in-playfield camera.
6:55
Anyway, I digress. I had a little fun today. I had a little fun today. Color corrected everything. Everything should be good.
7:08
Everything should be good. How's everyone doing today, man? It's freaking... what is it? What is it? Tuesday? Thursday? Two Thursdays?
7:19
I'm just trying to drain these balls, yo. So, don't... Put it on the... So, Merfleman, here is what we were playing around with. We put it in the back. The only problem is, every once in a while, the ball would get stuck on it.
7:44
Or the wire would get pinched weird, or the... I'm going to keep playing with it, okay? We're going to keep playing with it. unless you guys want to play with it together on the stream.
7:55
Like, I can just take the glass off, and we can try to find a cool view if you guys want to do that.
8:00
I mean, you're here, and here's the stuff. We can figure it out. It's up to you guys. It's Wednesday, number two.
8:17
Potato, potato, potato, potato, potato. potato potato potato potato yes let's do it okay cool so let's try let's try this
8:49
Yo, Lord Squeak, six months in a row, brother. Thank you for maintaining your membership to the league. You're amazing. Ladies and gentlemen, please put it up for Lord Squeak, my man.
9:09
Mad respect for streaming pinball. Yo, Zenwall. Thank you, buddy. We're going to try to come up with some cooler views here. You are safe with me. Girl, you ain't safe with me, you know what I'm saying? You ain't safe with me?
9:26
Oh, blood is too precious a thing in these times. So, we're about to find a new way of showing some pinball off here, kids.
9:40
That was a slam tilt, don't worry about it. Thanks for the follow. Why is that cut off? Ah, brr, Simpson.
10:08
Thanks for the follow, Zen. Well, I don't know why that got all screwy on me. Follower. That should be...
10:18
521 by 77 No it should be 580 by 110 580 Guys we building this stream while we watch We build the stream. Okay, here we go. Maintenance tilt, doesn't count. Take off the old tapering nose here. Save them.
10:58
The ultimate immersion. Welcome to the inside of a pinball machine. You need to feed your cameras. God, playing without glass would be amazing. It's just too crazy-ass loud.
11:23
So we're thinking of somewhere up here, right guys? Here, let me stick this in here. ZenWall subbed brother. welcome to the league you're amazing ladies and gentlemen that's a new sub zen wall welcome to the league brothers sisters friends cats dogs can you all please put your butts and flippers up that means we have six more subs until we give away a logitech c920 the cameras that i'm using right now um there's too many like wire forms everywhere it's hard to find a good place to put it like maybe back in here no my wife and her big pin oh that's awesome that's awesome son thanks for coming dude clean the flipper rubbers immediately okay we're gonna put the camera right here between the flippers. Done. Yeah, thanks for coming, son. And thanks for subbing, dude. That means a lot to me, man. It's support like that that allows me to keep doing this stuff. We're just trying to find new and creative ways of showing this stuff off. You guys can see me in the corner okay? You know what, while we do this, let's play some Hot James so we can have some fun, huh? We'll play some Hot James, we'll find a new angle, then we'll play it. Thanks for sticking around. I love you. Let's see. Let's see. Songs up. Now we just need technology to put camera inside the ball. That would be terrifying, man. Terrifying.
13:37
whatever we're just gonna play whatever play some hot champs play some pinball lone goat with six months brother thank you for maintaining your membership to the league you're amazing ladies and gentlemen i need flippers and butts up por favor All right.
14:02
So this in a perfect world would be the best angle. Unfortunately, it's too tall. Zigzag with six months in a row. Brother, thank you for maintaining your membership to the league. You're amazing, ladies and gentlemen. You know what to do. Spam that chat. Flippers and butts. Guys, what is going on right now? You guys are incredible. I would love this angle. Welcome to the league. You're amazing. You guys know the drill. Well, will that clear the glass? Will that clear the glass? Oh my God.
14:46
Barely, just barely not. If we could, I don't want to bust the game because obviously this isn't my machine.
14:57
If this works, we just won the internet, guys. Because I can't really see. Oh, not even close. I mean, in a perfect world, I could uncase this thing.
15:27
Right? Or. The ball. We'll find a good place for the ball not to hit the camera. If I play with the camera right there. This would be perfect. Son of a gun.
15:45
The view would be awesome. It's unobtrusive. Ish. I'm going to draw the crap out of this. Yes, exactly. My man.
16:01
So, we could play it like this, or you're thinking we should try to get something down here, right? Just, you don't really... It's not a very compelling angle.
16:18
Be easier to set a mirror somewhere in there? Hmm. Yeah, it would. We're going to figure this out. I mean that right there could work if I tape it. Unfortunately that is really close to the flippers and I wouldn't be able to play. Custom cut of glass. Yo, Wolfstrike, what's up? I'm trying to come up with stuff, folks, that I can easily put in a machine for a tournament that will not obstruct what's going on.
17:04
Does it block your view? I can make it so it doesn't block my view. Like, right here. Unfortunately... Like, that would be perf.
17:17
I could play that. If I took the assembly out of the case, I could probably make that work. I'm just concerned duct tape the camera base to the lock Gearson I don't want something I'm trying to come up with a way to put cameras in a game without interfering with people and their need to compete and complain sorry if I'm making you sick guys Wait, how far up can I scoot this?
17:58
Will that fit in there? No Chinese food? What are we talking about? Because I Let's see People complain a lot Yes they do, sir Yes they do
18:19
That's sort of where I had it behind the slippers would be awesome where does papa put their camera oh they do glass off like right here if we do glass off we'd be able to kill this but it's like metallurgy i'm gonna have to turn the game off but you want to hear how loud this is actually i don't even want to i don't even want to show you how loud this is I could take apart the camera, I think is our best bet.
18:54
Hmm. I just wish the apron was down a little bit. How about zip-tied to a ramp? Well, it's nothing to connect it somewhere.
19:17
I mean, I could do JD cam. I sure did, AP Stevens. Guys, wait. I can just wear the camera. This is insane looking, actually. Hold on. I got an idea. Let's wear this damn thing for a second.
20:12
Mighty Squirrel, thanks for the host, dude. Maybe the new camera angle is just me. How the hell did that slip under AP Stevens camera belt buckle
21:02
This is a little uncomfortable, to be honest. Thank you. This is hilarious. Hold on. I think I prefer the shirt cam also.
22:06
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Guys, this is pretty hilarious, actually. Bow tie cam. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the flippin' future.
22:54
I would say play pantsless, but... Guys, this is actually pretty awesome. I wish this thing was wireless holy crap it would slay it's like I'm really there we're gonna shoot this thing and do that stuff and then butts how long my arms are holy crap
23:30
please remove it if you have to pee Uh, no. It's not a GoPro. I'm wearing a webcam, actually. Here, I'll show you.
23:47
It's not a new toy. I'm just goofing around with the stream. So if I'm playing I'm going to be like this Oh baby We got to play a game like this
24:11
It's nerf Or nothing I did attach it to my crotch And it worked great to my home. See me now. Go, Camples.
24:40
Dookuya. This is hilarious. Not gonna lie, this is pretty awesome. I dig it. Plus you guys get to drink beer with me.
25:05
Hell yeah primitive, that's awesome dude. Get a chest vest. Alright, hold on. I'm feeling seasick. Alright, let's try a crotch cam.
25:19
I think this only works because I'm tall. Ew, Coors Light. Dude, Coors Light's a giant... No, this ain't going to work, guys. I move around too much.
25:34
You getting seasick yet? My keyboard is all wet now. Thanks, Jack. Cool. Where's the mouse? Just don't go reverse crotch cam. Alright, sorry. Never go reverse crotch cam, guys.
26:05
Alright, let's take a breath, because I think that's going to make some people seasick. Gamer, we had the pin inside the cam. I'm sorry, the cam inside the pin. And then we jumped over to freaking chest cam here. Wait, I didn't even say hi to you folks.
26:27
Good evening, pinheads, and welcome back to Deadflip Pinball. Today is Thursday. We're playing Bram Stoker's Dracula. This game's a lot of fun. And we're going to have a whole lot of fun playing it. And making fun of it, and listening to it, and discovering the bugs. And burping.
26:42
Woo! You've unlocked Coors Light, the silver bullet. Thank you for coming. We're just trying out new cameras and goofing around. I think it's a lot of fun. Are these cams HD cams? Yeah, they're HD webcams. It's this cam here that I'm giving away. We only need six more brand new subs for this to be given away.
27:33
Save the silver bullet for werewolves. But yeah, thanks for coming. Uh, we are going to goof around with this camera a lot today because I'd like to try to find a, uh, try to find a, another, another way to make the stream bigger. You know what I'm saying? I'm using my hands more than how I got this camera on me.
28:03
I had $5 once. Once. Guys, it's like you have knuckle tattoos. yeah I don't know let's play some pinball if at any time ladies and gentlemen you feel like you're getting seasick we'll move the camera and try something else alright I love you what happened last night I got tattoos Bobby got with Sharon got to read a sheet with Sharon Sharon's on the top of Good to See come on they were all in love with Donnie and they were doing it in Texas let's read let's heck read yeah what does this say what do you think this says let's Heck.
29:15
Helmet cam? This isn't helmet cam, it's just, uh, it's sort of bowtie cam. And now, on to the roller coaster.
29:26
Where's the, uh, mouse? I need a way to, like, use my mouse over here. Backstabber, I'm telling you, buddy. Um, once this giveaway works, which it seems like it is, we're going to be doing these way more often.
29:47
Giving away the hype. What did you do for Back to the Future Day? I got wasted. Isn't that what you do on Back to the Future Day? Get swaste. Patrick Swaste-y.
30:08
Guys, this is hilarious. by the way. I love this. This is so good. Do you guys, we want to hear Dracula. We're going to turn the music off. Oh, don't look at my phone. I got Michael J. All right, guys. Here we go. See, here's the problem with this. I'm going to want you to look over here, but you're all going to be looking right here. So what do we do?
30:45
Alright, we're going to start over. Hey Robbie Walker, how you doing buddy? Oh, I got robbed there. Oh what in the butt
31:18
MLP is going to be so hype, guys, you have no idea. Night moves? Is that a pin? Folks, by the way, this leaning, don't do that.
31:50
Because this, if this wasn't moving, it would look just as washed out, but it's because you're getting all these other contrasts and colors. If this is moving around, like if we got different angles and stuff, it wouldn't look so washed out. It's so real I can taste the beer. Hey, someone call my mom and tell her to watch this.
32:19
You mean, Le King? Pinballs don't have to necessarily be metal unless a game has a magnet or some other stuff. Up all night, I can't get rid of the glass or it's going to be a disaster of loudness in here.
32:55
But I don't think I can wear this POV camera right now. Blood is the preciousest thing in these times.
33:20
That Powerball. We need some subs. Rub-a-dub sub. I use golf balls. Um, what else can we do with this that's fun and exciting?
33:36
Yeah, here, don't get dizzy, guys. Same machine versus machine. Robbie Walker, that'd be a great idea. Unfortunately, the machines have to be set up the exact same way.
33:53
But I guess if you're just shooting the shit, that'd be fun. My apologies. never a tilt cam oh jackpot go say hi to Vigo keep the cam on damp tampon thank you for your one dollar donation damp tampon that is my favorite saying when we're referring to dipping tampons in alcohol and putting them you know where to get super wasted I believe this pin is on the pinball arcade oh yeah it definitely is It definitely is.
34:27
Where else can we put this? Hmm. You need two fast breaks. Yeah, man. Link them up. Link up the fast breaks.
34:44
Uh. Beep. Is this the right cam? Is this it? Right here? Inside the machine, yes. I'm just trying to think of the best place.
35:14
Crotch cam! Casket cam, maybe. Invisiglass would go a long way. I'm trying to really find out the best place to put this. Here, let's do this Let's do this
35:44
If the fan loses, they pay a donation If the fan wins, you hail to the champ I think that's just called gambling, isn't it? I'm not doing a freaking Tilt Bob camp Those are ridiculous they're ridiculous. There's no point to them.
36:01
If I have to be against one thing that has come out of cameras and pinball coming together, it's tilt bobcams.
36:12
They're pointless. The ball could smash the lens, but these are pretty durable like plastic lenses on here. We're just trying to find the best place to put something like this Like, boom Dead face What up, Tents? Good to see you, buddy Tents, Tents, everyone Quarter door cam, the coin door cam You just want to see my penis you're trying to get a look at my stuff if we could stand this up a little more yeah we're trying to figure out how to put this in the machine
37:17
hmm does the ball of room to roll through the that might actually work I think the pop-up or might vibrate the camera though
37:47
That looks boring. Robbie Walker, links can only be posted by subs, buddy. My apologies, man. The tilt cam would be pretty fun if you had the missed ball shake. Oh, God.
38:17
They are dirty flipper rubbers. You're a dirty flipper rubber. Burn? Hmm. You're a towel. It can't work here guys That's actually on the playfield
39:10
Front to back you mean? Yeah Don't use dirty rubbers the first cam was okay you mean right here is probably our best bet you don't really see much hold on i got an idea maybe if it was over here there might be a better view of all the shots actually that was pretty effing good
39:58
maybe you put it just below the dmd all the way in the back there uh no we're not trying to do a no jack cam at all because yo i make the ships Yes, try it out. Okay, so we'll try there, but maybe...
40:27
No, that looks like crap. That doesn't look like anything. Okay. it can't really here let's see if it will live on top of the coffin I mean we could probably tape it to the top of the coffin right there
41:01
So that's hanging off the front of the coffin right there. I don't know, it's not very compelling. It's not very compelling guys. There might not even be a need for this really. I'm just trying to come up with like some cool stuff.
