Medium Update - September 4th: Recovery Speed Increasing!

Hello everyone!

Apologies for the late update, I could've sworn I posted two during the month of August but I looks like it unfortunately slipped my mind. 

I had my last Physical Therapy appointment on Friday and it seems that I am finally on solid recovery ground. I was fluctuating at around 35% health during August so things were unfortunately slow, but in the past few days I feel like I've improved enough to say I'm back at around 45% health. The root cause of my health issues has been locked down and the therapy is progressing far smoother now. 

September is looking like a good month so far. I've begun work on the project again and plan to kick it up a gear once I'm back at around 55% health, which shouldn't be long at this current rate. 

Project specifically. I've swapped out some elements to make them easier for me to complete. Mainly I'm toning back the amount of IRL shots and replacing them with VFX comps instead. The IRL equipment I have, mainly my camera, along with my health are not reliable enough at the moment for me to get the quality I want out of the shots. It's a slight bummer, but I can always work those ideas into future projects later down the road. 

I feel like I can reasonably say that I will definitely get the intro of the video done before the end of the month. I think that will be when the ball starts rolling at a decent pace again. 

I'll try and make my next update a solid meaty one for you all. Thanks again for your patience, I'm excited to be able to get back to work and show you all what I've been cooking up! I think the intro I've come up with is pretty cool :) 

Also! 

I've officially dropped the Adobe Suite of programs (Premiere & After Effects) and am transitioning to Davinci Resolve. 

There are a number of benefits to this swap but the biggest for you all is that Davinci Resolve is free! Which means it will be much easier to make my project files public and accessible to you all for those of you that may have interests in the Video Editing/VFX side of production. 

My work will be relatively simple to start out with but as time goes on I'm looking forward to this becoming a nice resource for people that are interested in learning more about this kind of work. 

thanks as always,
