Video in 6 Days
Added 2018-03-30 19:30:13 +0000 UTCI'm playing catch-up and am almost back to regular schedule! The next video is a fairly simple Quick D, but as usual, I'm putting more effort into the details of it than is probably necessary.
Editing & VFX are time-consuming but at least it's just sitting and working at a computer. The shooting process is when the real organizational challenge happens. I try to keep track of everything with checklists and schedules, but sometimes the simplest things slip through the cracks.
You may have seen me complain on Twitter a few days ago about how I forgot to put dots on my face. It was for a brief shot where I pretend to have a motion capture suit. I filmed it as the last thing of the day and simply forgot this very important part of the look.
I considered adding them digitally in post, but then realized that would be insane. So I bit the bullet, got back into makeup the next day and re-shot that part.
And I'm glad I did. It was an opportunity to snaz-up the whole costume. Look at that low-effort before picture. I don't know why I thought that was acceptable!

After seeing on twitter that you filmed a scene as aprt of an elaborate gag, and forgot to add the face tracking dots, I had a good laugh seeing it in the final video. I thought 'wow, this is dedication, refilming it, just to get the face dots!'

2018-04-16 16:10:09 +0000 UTCThe problem I have with reshoots is the continuity errors, hair is longer, something is just out of place. Most likely no one will notice those little things, but I can't unsee it during the editing process.
2018-04-03 20:01:06 +0000 UTCWhen in doubt, add more balls.
2018-04-02 16:21:33 +0000 UTCThe reshoot option looks much cooler! Can't wait!

2018-03-31 05:09:36 +0000 UTCLove the effort you put into these mate!
2018-03-31 01:55:29 +0000 UTCThough, the new look does take away from some of the "carefully" placed ball(s) on your first attempt.
