[Behind the scenes] The importance of "focus group"

Added 2024-03-30 19:48:53 +0000 UTC

Hello there!
Sometimes you hear from me that I am waiting for a feedback from my focus group. This is a very important part in video making process for one obvious reason. I do not know everything about GTA games and this is why I show my videos to a very small group of experienced people before I release them. These people usually find typos, editing goofs and also suggest something to add. I always listen to their feedback, because it helps me a lot to polish the video.

The last video was a very special one. Originally I didn't realize that those two "gift type" weapons look like jewellery boxes. It was a very short topic ending with "But what for? Who knows."

Here, take a look: https://youtu.be/t5J520jQG5M?si=-JP1dZJ1VZhVBhaQ&t=116 (1:56 to 2:32)

One member from a focus group after watching it told me that in his opinion they look like jewellery boxes and provided me pictures from AliExpress, I think.

I opened these models in 3Ds Max and realized that he was damn right! I immediately remembered about the removed De Koch jewellery store and put all pieces together!

But before that another member of the crew said that "wee" is Scottish slang for small. It became clear to me that there was a small and a big jewellery box. So I made some corrections to the script and sent new lines to Badger to voice.

As you can see, it is always nice to have more people involved. Sure, you can work alone, but sometimes the help is needed to achieve a better result. I am very grateful to this people.
