The New PC Upgrade is now Official.

After 3 long months of researching/planning/ patience with the computer/chip market, and with the help of an amazing Patreon member of ours Chris Peters, I have finally assembled all the components of my new PC build!

For the last 10 years (including the content from HFP since 2016) all of my productions have been edited off of a laptop. Although it has served me very well over the years (I got it in 2014) it was time for a much needed upgrade. And it’s a massive one.

(This is for computer enthusiasts who would like to know the specs of my now retired laptop. Which has edited all the content I’ve put out so far.)

Some may wonder how I survived with that laptop as far as editing/gaming goes and I wouldn’t be able to tell you how I did. I can tell you that for the past 2 years especially, editing was always a nightmare for big projects. Especially the Last Skywalker.

It would basically be abnormal if Premiere didn’t crash at least 3 times during editing (including my laptop heating up like a furnace). My laptop was the definition of bottlenecking.

NOW.. things are about to get real. Everything you’ve seen from me so far has been through many limitations. Like one hand tied behind my back. I cannot wait to see what I can do with this!

Once again, thank you so much to Chris Peters for helping me make this possible. I will be resuming my work on Ahsoka as soon as everything is up and running! Until then, I will see you all soon!
