Wheel of Fortune Fan Recreation/Game Night Pilot - Episode 1

Показать описание

You can probably tell we are huge Wheel of Fortune fans.

On a typical game night, we’ll play card and board games, bingo, or: this! We decided to amp it up a bit and bring you an “episode” of Wheel of Fortune: The Game Night version. Our version brings back some retro-themed/international rounds and retired puzzle add-ons, but still has the modern features you see today like the brand-new Triple Toss-Up! Scroll down for a breakdown of round-level information.

INFORMATION

The wheel is 40” wide and is custom-built using all sorts of methods and materials: 3D design and printing, electronic paper cutting machines, and LOTS of other fun things that really helped me bring the wheel to life.

The puzzle board is custom-built software I spent the better part of a year building out by learning how to code VBA and perform some graphic/animation design.
FYI: None of the above can or will be distributed, so please do not ask.

THANK YOU/SHOUT OUTS

Christine, Chris, and Gabriel—you’re the best contestants ever!!! Thank you for being my test subjects and supporting my sometimes-insane hobbies.

None of this would have happened without my amazing friend Nicole, who literally brought out everything you could want for filming: microphones, tripods, mounts of all kinds, LED lighting, and her 20,000 cameras—this wouldn’t exist without her. She is a level of talent I can only aspire to be, so please check her and her amazing team out!

A huge thanks to Marina Sky for lending me their amazing creation of title, toss up, and final spin graphics! PLEASE be sure to check out their channel which contains their own home-made, off-the-charts amazing WOF setup—including a bonus wheel and RGB LED lights for dayyyyyyys.

There may be some assorted graphics that are not my original creations. For most, credit goes to MarioGS and WheelGenius of the Buy A Vowel (BAV) Message Boards—they do some amazing design work so please take a look!

ROUND-LEVEL BREAKDOWN

The wheel is loaded up with a Gift Tag, the Wild Card, the Million Dollar Wedge, the Vault Wedge, the Free Play Wedge (which I forgot to turn on at certain points…) and a Prize Wedge at the start of each game. The Vault Wedge is always re-added to the wheel each round, even if it is removed in a previous round (win or lose; the Vault amount resets if it is won, however)—everything else stays on until won/lost or once the Speed-Up round is reached.

This is by far THE best recreation of the show ever! Far more enjoyable to watch too! No commercials. No ads such as "Tonight's Jackpot Round is brought to you by...". Really really outstanding work!

LOL at 0:45! "Wait a minute Christine! The game hasn't started yet!" 😂😂😂 I just checked out your whole channel and see your WOF Recreations are still brand new. You gotta do Jeopardy! Recreations next especially now since Alex Trebek passed away! Great video and even better series!
