Pilot Pending

Ah Friday, the wonderous day of solitude in my life at present. Solitude is very important to the unusually shy Video Blogger such as myself. Friday is the day when most of my recording takes place. That goes for everything: Videos, reviews, voice acting, etc. Between 09:30am and 17:30pm on a Friday, I have to cram in as much recording as possible.

Then, at around 18:30, production and editing can commence and continue until around 22:00. That is when I retire. I usually work 06:00 - 14:00 shifts on Saturday so from 14:30 onwards is time for final bits editing and eventually uploading the completed video to YouTube. There is a pretty large amount of work behind my crappy little blog.

Why am I telling you this? Well, today I start recording the pilot video my new format. There are now 4 sections which I plan to be at least 2 minutes long each and then have time for anything else I feel like throwing in at the end. There will be some use of characters, mainly Dr.T.W.Geek as well as a newish one called 'Britican.' All will be made clear soon.

This, coupled with the fact that I have started using new effects (pretty basic for the time being) means that my videos are going to take a lot longer to produce. I will hopefully still be able to get each one finished over the course of the 2 days and release it on Saturday evenings but only time will tell.

Besides, if there is ever a week when my video is late there's always this blog to read...

It is written...

Sooo, here it is. If you have been taking in the crap I spew out into my YouTube channel then you will know why this little blog exists and what I intend to do with it.

Now that I have you here I think I should share some news that will be Exclusive to you, the readers. First off, thank you for checking this out. I know I'm not at all reliable when it comes to regular video updates but I promise that you will see a lot more dedication going into this blog. I much prefer my written work than my videos.

Secondly, I had an odd sensation a while back, while I was watching my Wall-E review. I realised that it was depressingly unentertaining. I sat and stared at a blank screen for a few minutes afterwards, pondering on whether I wanted to continue making videos, or just jack the whole thing in and focus on my other projects. As it so happens I fell into the crack between those 2 options and decided that I needed to simply "refurbish."

I have a new video in the works, which (with any luck) should be online from Friday the 24th. This will explain what I intend to do with the channel, show off some of the basic editing tricks that I've learned, and then ask your opinion on the matter.

Until then, feel free to comment on this site or on my video.

Speak to you soon.
