It's the end of week six on Random Arma Bullshittery (part 9). And here's an update on how things are getting on.
Last week, my focus was working out the framing devices throughout the episode - the newsreel and the jingle. But this week has been a case of taking what I've edited and putting it all together. It's been primarily a...

It's week five on Random Arma Bullshittery (part 9). And this week I've had a very specific goal - getting the framing devices right.
So insofar as the main edit is concerned, most scenes have had most editing done. With an approximate run-time of 18 minutes in total (it's creeping up...arghh). But the trouble i...

Good evening dear patrons, and happy Friday to you all. So it's the end of week 4 on Random Arma Bullshittery (part 9). And here's how things are going so far.
By this point, I would normally find myself on the quality assurance stages for a video that's 10 minutes long. Having done the bulk of the text and animations in...

Good afternoon dear Patrons. I just wanted to start with a sincere thank you for your patronage. To those who have stuck with me this long and to new patrons having joined recently. Thank you for letting me spend my time fiddling with words and stuff whilst wearing one sock and sitting in my underpants. Rather than having to put on a suit, sit in a...

Thanks very much for your input regarding the poll. Antistasi Arma it is then.
I've certainly got all the other Arma clips saved up (and well nested) for the next batch of editing. So for the future please know that there's plenty of footage for Arma bullshittery part 10. And I've even got a rough outline f...

So I've had some time to look into "the Resistance blob" mentioned in the previous update. And one thing is clear - it's big. Much bigger than I had anticipated.
There are so many funny moments from the Antistasi mod alone that I reckon it's worth doing its own indep...

Many thanks for your votes and your comments on the previous update. Thank you for agreeing with me on the Arma thing. At the moment I think I need something that's a tad easier to on the editing front. I will certainly get around to doing Divinity, Human Fall Flat, Gang Beasts, etc. I look forward to Gang Beasts especially. It's just that...

First up, greetings new Patrons. After the Mount & Blade video there was a minor surge in overall patrons. So welcome and thank you very much for your patronage. It is possible however that existing Twitch subs are simply switching over to Patreon, since Twitch is rolling back their messaging system and Patreon is generally more reliable. But e...

Righto. At long last the edit is done. Here is a Random Mount & Blade Bullshittery. Thank you for being so patient with me xx
So this won't be the final render, as there's an extra 1 minute scene that I'd love to edit and add in the second half. Therefore if you spo...

Heyo. Super quick update. The quality assurance effort is nearly finished. Of the 25 minute run-time there's about 30 seconds remaining to fix. The rest should be good to go.
Those last 30 seconds consist of small 2-5 second tasks that are quite complicated. For example, one of them is a...

Right, sorted!!
The main principle editing has been (more or less) completed. Totaling up to about 25 minute and 30 seconds. The After Effects compositions, various art assets and static subtitles should be for the most part finished. All of the scenes should be in the correct places and in the right order. There are som...
2018-04-05 21:56:32 +0000 UTC View PostSuper-quick update just before lunch. In the live-stream this morning there were some people asking where they could find Twitch subscriber/Patron only footage. And then after that there was a handful of new Patrons. I assume they're looking for it.
Quickly making a short-list for the convenience of those individuals. And anybody else inte...

So it's been a behemoth of an editing effort, but the end is finally in sight.
For the latest Mount and Blade Bullshittery video, I have successfully edited about 22 minutes of the final 25 minute cut. With the remaining 3 minutes only really requiring the text and animations as mo...

Good evening folks. It's the second week of the second half of the Mount & Blade bullshittery on Youtube. Here's an update on progress.
So midway last week I predicted I'd be at roughly the 18 minute mark by now, aiming for the first week of April completion. I'm actually on the 16 minute mark, which...

Good evening folks. So it's the first week on the second half of the Mount & Blade bullshittery on Youtube and everything is progressing well. An update on progress:
On Monday I went through the initial cut and made a few improvements. Shaving some bits down and adding a couple of others. The run-time is approximately 25 minu...

The first half of the video is ready for viewing :)
Please bear in mind that it's not quite finished yet. It's entirely up to you whether you'd like to watch it now or wait for the finished product.
So I did end up adding that additional minute in the end. B...

Quick update! Alas, I wasn't able to get the first half of the bullshittery done in time for the weekend. But the progress is good. It's about 10 minutes 30 seconds edited with only 10 seconds left undone.
Trouble is, the last few bits are almost always the toughest. Consisting of frame-by-...

Apologies for the late update folks. I was really supposed to do one last week but I fell behind because I'm a bit worried I don't have enough new information to show you. And was therefore trying to get as much done as possible for presentation.
In the editing I'm about 10 minutes and 40 seconds complete out of 25 minute...

Happy Friday everyone!
So it's the end of the third week of work on the latest bullshittery. Which would make it day 15 of the editing. And progress has been 'okay, but not quite as good as I would like'.
I'm up to about 5 minutes (almost exactly in fact) of fully edited video out of about ...

Apologies, I'm a tad late with this update.

So this morning I was going through the footage that I have on my hard drives, trying to determine what might make a good bullshittery. And I came across this gem.
Mount & Blade is this first/third person adventure/exploration/fighting game that I played in the middle of last year. And I remember that it was... 2018-01-23 00:15:25 +0000 UTC View Post
I'm going to split up this update into a couple of posts to make it easier to comment on. Bear with me :)
So its the start of the 4th week of January. And so it's probably best if I put the DayZ side project down for a little bit and focus on a video for public release. Since it has been a full month since the last one.
It's been nice and p...

A bit of a boring update from me I'm afraid. The work on the DayZ critique continues to progress. But I'm afraid it's still too early to show anything new, sorry.
The next two chapters are ready.
I'm afraid these two you've definitely seen before. And fairly recently at that. But I just had to make some corrections and apply some polish to get them in a presentable state.
The new Patreon password for the start of this year is - Filament
For those not familiar, during some of the single-player livestreams for things like X-Com, Kerbal, Warhammer, etc, I found that it was quite fun to rename the in-game characters after the Patrons and Twitch subs watching the stream. It adds a fun bit of p...

Another quick update. I've managed to polish up another pair of chapters for final release. Bringing the total up to 4 of 9.
Happy New Year everybody!
Hope you're all had a good one. It was quite cosy over here. I spent it in a warm flat with a cold beer, with Lulu on my lap and with the ZF guys in teamspeak. Where we faffed around in Rocket League, Jedi Academy, Left4Dead, Deceit, etc. A good laugh.
Since Christmas day I've been taking things a bit ligh...
