Stream Highlights Part 10

Wow this took forever to finish!

I feel really bad about it taking this long!

Stream Highlights Part 10 has been in the works for more than 2 months i'd say, and for several reasons!

The first reason is I've been making more "One Game Videos" 

"One Game Videos" being videos that are focused entirely on...One Game

IE - Exploring Garrys Mod, Synergy, resident evil the 4th, soma & Butts McKraven II

Making "One Game Videos" means that i'm using up way more clips from games that I have. Leaving less clips available for Highlight videos.

In addition I also have to go through a Games footage and clips and make the decision of if it should be a "One Game Video" or be put into a highlights video, which takes extra time.

So its pretty much, It takes longer to get enough clips for a Highlight Video. 

Videos also have to go through more screening to see if they will be better as a "One Game Video" or better in a highlights video.

But thats not all!

Some of you may have noticed that this is the first Stream Highlights Video without background music!

This is the case for several reasons.

1. The song I originally found and chose for this video was a pain to loop. (I manually edit all background songs to loop so they can be long enough for the video)

2. After I looped the song it turned out it wasn't a good fit for the video after all

3. I didn't want to spend another 2+ hours searching for more copyright free, good, background music

4. I rely too much on background music in my edits

The 4th point in that is the most important.

In all of my Highlights videos I've used background music. I've used background music in so many of my videos it feels weird editing without using background music to drive the pace of the video and cuts. I've become too dependent on them and I'd like to be able to diversify my editing skills, so I decided to scrap the background music completely in this Highlight video. 

The reason I started using music for my videos was to create a constant thread that was always the same in every clip. Something reliable i could edit to and something that would drive the pace of the video. Since I started out editing TF2 frags this was great in helping me in keeping the videos interesting. 

It was an even bigger help with Highlight videos. Since I am taking clips from so many completely different games with different situations, gameplay etc it helps a ton with having something that's always constant to pull all the clips together.

I've been using background music in my videos for so long its hard editing without them and I need to make sure I don't end up ONLY being able to edit to music. 

So yeah, that's my 12am ramble on Stream Highlights Part 10
