LGR - Early Edit of VCF Midwest 2022
Added 2022-09-29 21:54:09 +0000 UTChttps://youtu.be/bICt3WRH4Bs
EDIT: IT'S DONE.
So this isn't done yet. Despite working on it daily for 8 days, it's currently about 98% there! But at this point I've been looking at all this footage for long enough that I needed to take a step back and take in the whole thing as a whole thing, so to speak. And why not let y'all in on that, right?
The main thing I have left to record is the intro, which won't be very long. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. And the rest is pretty much a pile of color correction, exposure adjustments, and white balancing. Plus the usual minor edits and line re-recordings that I'm sure I'll make over the next 24 hours.
I was hoping to have this done in time to have it posted publicly tomorrow, buuuuut nope! 300GB of footage shot by two people over the course of 8 days, all from different cameras and settings... yeah, it's a smorgasbord of small adjustments and nitpicky edits that add up quickly. Plus I keep finding things to say as I (re)discover various items I saw at the show, ha.
Hope you enjoy despite its slightly incomplete nature! I should have the final edit done tomorrow sometime, so I think I'll post the public version Saturday if all goes well.

Saw a Coleco ADAM on one of the tables. My first computer. It ran a form of BASIC, so it counts. Sort of.

2022-10-02 11:33:21 +0000 UTCLoved the panel with the other guys, some of them I am subscribed to on you tube. The others I have searched out and subscribed.

2022-10-02 04:00:42 +0000 UTCNot going to lie, there was a long list of people there that I would have happily spent hours talking too given the chance, yourself included Clint, think that would be a bit too much of a trip from New Zealand though.

2022-10-01 03:45:31 +0000 UTCI would love to go to one of this. All the things I grew up with.
Brett Walton
2022-10-01 02:41:26 +0000 UTCwoo! thanks for the early cut of the video! Dang, I really need to go to that one of these years.. hopefully i'll get well enough that I can do that :-/

2022-10-01 02:19:04 +0000 UTCLoved seeing a shot of Space Quest 1 in glorious green!
Chad Armstrong
2022-10-01 00:41:55 +0000 UTCThank you, it was good seeing you too!
LGR
2022-10-01 00:35:15 +0000 UTCI wish I'd gotten footage of your MIDI setup too, argh! And yes, even one weekend later would be nice. Knobcon looks dope.
LGR
2022-09-30 23:56:37 +0000 UTCAh I wish you could! Lots of non-US folks were able to make it this year after a couple years of being locked out of the country, maybe a future trip? :)
LGR
2022-09-30 23:54:45 +0000 UTCI didn't, thanks for letting me know! It cleaned up nicely and matches the Aptiva well
LGR
2022-09-30 23:53:06 +0000 UTCMan this makes me wish I lived in the US just so I could come visit you guys.

2022-09-30 22:09:38 +0000 UTCVery good summary of the show! That little IBM Aptiva mouse was mine if you didn't write down my name. Was great talking to you both! I nearly talked to Luke for 20 minutes about cameras xD. Hope to see you guys next year!

2022-09-30 21:44:46 +0000 UTCYep! I bought a printer shown in that video and set up a thermal printer selfie station at VCF East earlier this year, I’m glad others are doing it too!
Mac84
2022-09-30 16:52:19 +0000 UTCHa, that 'selfie station' with the thermal printer was almost verbatim something Techmoan talked about in one of his videos. About an identical Sony thermal printer too, iirc.

2022-09-30 06:52:01 +0000 UTCReally great recap video, like last year. My wife and I will be watching your brother’s video like last year as well. It was good getting to see you again this year and I enjoyed the opportunity to get to take a picture together without the masks on. 😛

2022-09-30 06:15:48 +0000 UTCThis was my fourth or fifth VCFMW, but my first time showing off my own gear. I'm really glad you liked the Casio Loopy - it's such a cool and unique system that could've been a smash hit if the marketing wasn't so narrow. Thanks to your (and everyone else's) footage from the event, I get to see everything I missed. I'm hoping next year has more space somehow and isn't the same weekend as Knobcon.

2022-09-30 06:11:32 +0000 UTCJust finished the early edit -- you've really mastered flowing narratives that keep the viewer engaged without feeling like they are "engaged". I enjoyed the non-VCFMW portions as much as the VCFMW portions! And it's always interesting to hear your point of view on some of the exhibits. Really fine work.
Jim Leonard
2022-09-30 05:33:04 +0000 UTCIt was cool to say hi to you! I wonder if I'm in the video somewhere :-)
Eric Siegel
2022-09-30 04:24:50 +0000 UTCHappy to hear it, thank you!
LGR
2022-09-30 03:03:27 +0000 UTCTruly one of the craziest gaming experiences I've ever had! No idea how they plan to make that thing playable to the general public, but wow I hope more folks get the chance to try it sometime
LGR
2022-09-30 02:38:48 +0000 UTCThank you! Yeah I hope you have some excuse to make it over there someday, it's well worth making a memorable day trip out of it.
LGR
2022-09-30 02:37:03 +0000 UTCThank you, Steve! Yeah that LD player stuck around for sale there for longer than I thought it would.
LGR
2022-09-30 02:36:17 +0000 UTCMy pleasure man, it was great to finally meet!
LGR
2022-09-30 02:35:47 +0000 UTCWish You Were Here is easily one of my favorite albums, so ;)
LGR
2022-09-30 02:35:06 +0000 UTCPeri - you must promise to make every effort to attend next year! We missed you and the Lady!

2022-09-30 02:30:36 +0000 UTCSo many interesting things in one video :) That answering machine thing was hilarious and the r360 arcade was just crazy :)

2022-09-30 02:00:02 +0000 UTCAt around 10:00, I thought Have a Cigar was starting :D
John Covil
2022-09-30 00:41:19 +0000 UTCI feel your pain! But it’s great when it’s finally finished eh? Good lad, enjoy a breather from it till then. 👍🕹️

2022-09-30 00:30:18 +0000 UTCWoah! So crazy that I got a shout-out. Thanks Clint! Great video as always.
Jeremy Mehrle
2022-09-30 00:26:00 +0000 UTCYou did an awesome job of capturing the show! I can’t count how many times I walked the rooms, and I didn’t even get to see everything. But that’s why I enjoy everyone’s coverage, I see things I would have missed out on… and kick myself for not eyeing… like that Pioneer LaserDisc player sitting next to your eMachines tower! Hah
Mac84
2022-09-29 23:30:48 +0000 UTCTo my untrained eye at least, everything looked good. You got some great shots. As NJB said, Chicago is definitely a beautiful city and I liked that part of the vid quite a bit.
DuckReconMajor
2022-09-29 22:46:41 +0000 UTCWow, that looked like a great show! Thanks for sharing. I've added the Galloping Ghost Arcade to my Google Maps. I'm not sure why I would ever be in the area, but I don't want to forget about it, just in case. I also enjoyed the Chicago shots. It's a nice looking city.
Jason
2022-09-29 22:37:05 +0000 UTCAlso the new Gopro footage looks really good 👌
TempleTurkey
2022-09-29 22:09:53 +0000 UTCThank you, Jim! The tweaking gets outta hand quickly. It's nuts how much footage we got and yet I *still* ended up not getting footage of so many things I wanted to show. Not to mention all the shots I wish I could re-do. The inability to go back and reshoot anything really is one of the best/worst parts of filming a live event, heh.
LGR
2022-09-29 22:08:50 +0000 UTCI know the feeling when editing a long form video for ages. I agree it's best to step back for a while and recheck again with a fresh look.
TempleTurkey
2022-09-29 22:07:58 +0000 UTCIf it helps, I feel your pain. But I'm sure it will turn out great.
