Early Look: Laozao, Fermented Rice (醪糟)
Added 2020-08-25 05:42:13 +0000 UTCHey guys, sorry for the delay here, found out that my laptop wasn't fit to cut this sort of video... the hard way. Had to wait til we got home from traveling to cut this one on my box.
This one was a bit experimental. Instead of me (Chris) doing the narration, we played around doing that sort of Alex/Andong/Ragusea style of video - Steph talking to the camera, with the cooking clips interspersed. This style won't be a replacement for what we usually do, but it is something that we wanna potentially play around with, both to give Steph an even more pronounced voice on the channel as well as mitigate some of borderline-absurd lengthy 'hand modeling' exercises that're almost unavoidable in the 'hands-only' medium.
In an ideal world, we kinda want to scatter a bit of videos that'd follow that format among our usual style. But... we'll see how you guys like it. Steph was kinda unsatisfied with her performance with the Laozao, but I thought it was a great start (MUCH better than me when I first started doing the VOs). I think it was cool enough where I definitely want to try it again, but it'll undeniably feel a bit more amateur than our recent stuff (I also need to get used to editing that style of video as well).
