Oblivion Status Update #11

Hello, Patrons!  I contemplated doing this as a video but the 31st snuck up on me and I felt, this month, it was important to get an update out before August starts.  The attached progress picture is actually before I started work yesterday, as I've begun the next phase of the project.  

Since the last update, I completed the primary visuals pass for the entire project (note the red line).  I then did a pass where I began working on providing more specific visuals, and adding markers.  Green markers are simple notes.  Yellow markers indicate the footage needs to be more specific, usually involving things I don't necessarily have a video file immediately on hand to fill (mostly Skyrim and Morrowind stuff).  Red markers are vocal lines that need re-recording.  

As of yesterday, I've started going through the yellow markers and fixing things up.  I played Oblivion for three hours to get ~40 visuals.  Today I'm doing Morrowind and hopefully Skyrim, and then it will be just a matter of chasing down the weird stuff like, say, footage of Daggerfall, Thief 1, etc.  

After that is the final pass, where later becomes now.  This is where the project is going to come together, which means once it's done I will be taking two days off, then doing a viewing, and then final edits.  I don't like promising dates, but it feels that August is going to be the month that this video is finished.

Once it is finished, it has to be exported.  I plan on streaming some Minecraft on my laptop for the duration of the export.  After that it has to be uploaded and cleared on YouTube.  The trailer won't be dropped until I get a greenlight from YouTube that there aren't monetization issues.  Once the trailer comes out, the promised 7 days for Patrons begins.  At some point in the final 12 hours before release date, the video will be switched to a premiere and will no longer be available for early viewing, so bear that in mind.
