Almost there. I can taste it.
Audio still needs significant reworking and there's still around 15 minutes left to do, but I hope the progress is working well.
If you have any questions you'd like to ask me for the end credits, let me know here, I'll write it down and answer it to the best of my abilities at the end of the video.
2023-12-27 02:48:42 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, we're getting there.
It's around 1 hour and 38 minutes-ish, and I think it's good progress so far.
My aim is before Christmas, which is doable. Sorry I've been behind, but we're catching up on good progress.
2023-12-11 23:13:54 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Sorry this came a bit late, I had forgotten to upload it. I don't have anything to add, hopefully things are a bit quicker this time.
2023-12-05 21:32:30 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, sorry about missing you on last week.
I recorded a bunch of footage and then realised, unfortunately, that all of the footage was bad and the bitrate was terrible because I had the wrong OBS settings on.
So I had to re-record it, haha. We're deep in the LK territory now, so we're getting into that part of the video. That means, without any major hiccups, the first half is "done," meaning all the basic cuts are in aside from the parts in black-with-white text which are...
2023-11-28 03:42:37 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
This time, it's Sorry to Bother You, which I feel like if there was a movie I've touched upon so far that I've unironically thought talked about racism, would probably be this. The progress video is coming up shortly. I'm rendering it as I'm typing out this paragraph.
The next review is Michael Clayton.
Also, I want to note that anyone who pledges $5 or higher can request movie reviews. After the Michael Clayton review, I think the review pool w...
2023-11-28 01:22:57 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
No update this week on the video, primarily because I spent that last week recording footage for the second half of the video and then realised that all of the footage I was recording was pretty bad quality, so I'm re-recording stuff. My apologies on that.
2023-11-20 06:56:27 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, sorry about the delay, but here's the current progress.
I don't have much to add, but we're moving into the P4A part, so it's time to start editing Lord Knight's footage and get them together.
2023-11-14 07:59:50 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! It's another month, another poll on which movie reviews go public.
Last time was The Sky Crawlers and RRR, which are public on this page and also on the Select and Pause channel (Indian Youtube is killing my ass on that).
This time it's Comet, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Viridiana, and The Forbidden Kingdom. Like before, whichever two have the most votes I'll make public. If there's a tie I'll flip a...
2023-11-14 03:54:35 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Sorry this one was late, the reason why was because I DOWNLOADED THE WRONG FILE. This movie is available on Youtube in crusty resolution (which is what I used to watch it), and so I downloaded a higher resolution of it, but it turns out the higher resolution was a Ukrainian horror film from 2014. I didn't even notice until a European castle showed up and I was like, "I don't remember this..."
Yeah anyhow, long story short, sorry about the delay again.
Next revie...
2023-11-14 03:46:08 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
We're halfway through! We're in the post 1 hour mark, and given that we'll be moving into the other section somewhat soon, I think the pace will start to ramp up. A lot of the time spent was on theoretical stuff and that can only be represented by bean people in so many ways before I run out of creativity juices, so I think with more general social stuff we'll see a better pace.
2023-11-06 21:22:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey hey hey folks,
It's movie review time! I'm trying to get as much editing for the Persona video done as much as possible so the render tonight or tomorrow has as much progress to show.
That said, here's the review for Viridiana! One thing I completely forgot to mention was number of sex jokes I noticed, but I don't know if that was just me or it was actually that.
Next review is Forbidden Kingdom.
2023-11-05 22:17:22 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Here's the progress. I don't have much to add, I wasn't able to get as much finished as I hoped, but I think we're almost done the Lamarre section and moving into the others.
2023-10-30 06:31:30 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
So I was able to just soldier through the Carnage review, it's a lot less focused than the previous ones, but I had to juggle making sense while my throat was hurting. Hopefully I expressed my thoughts in a reasonable manner.
Next review is Viridiana.
2023-10-29 20:56:55 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
It's another week, another editing update. I'm slowly inching towards the end of the P4 section, it's always a bit tricky to think of things to do for sections; I try and pace stuff out based on how much or little on-screen time I think I need. Are folks generally bothered by long periods where I'm on camera? I'm always worried about that, which is why I try to break up what I see as a monotony, but this is a very long video, so I understand that most people will be listeni...
2023-10-22 21:41:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Here's the review for Comet! A movie that was interesting, but man LA people.
Anyhow, the next review is Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
2023-10-22 19:17:52 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Sorry about the delayed publish, Adobe auto-updated Media Encoder, which locked me out of access to Media Encoder 2022. Apparently the newer Media Encoders don't play well with older AE comps, so I had to render in Premiere. Thing is, Premiere render doesn't have an auto-shutdown feature so I had to wait for it to finish so I can turn off my computer.
We're around the 50 minute mark, should be almost at 1 hour soon.
2023-10-16 18:31:46 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
As mentioned before, I'll be making the weekly movie reviews half public, half private. The two videos that the highest number of votes will be made public, and I'll upload them onto the second channel (but I'll also make them public here on Patreon).
If a bunch of values have the same numbers, I'll just randomly pick the ones with the most votes.
I noticed that Patreon lets people follow creators for free, so I've opened this up for public foll...
2023-10-15 20:19:53 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
This week is Eric Rohmer's Love in the Afternoon, of which I didn't really have too much to say about. Usually, I have something to latch onto when I talk about movies, but this time it wasn't anything particularly standout to me.
Next review will be Comet.
2023-10-15 20:10:28 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, so I'm going to finish up the Love in the Afternoon review for tomorrow, which I think will put me at four reviews. Generally the process has been to make all the reviews private, but I'm thinking of making two public, two private based on polling, with the two public reviews going on the second, unhinged channel. Hopefully, it's to just show people that I'm still producing content while I'm producing the main channel stuff.
The plan is that at the end of the month...
2023-10-14 20:01:59 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, it's another week of movie reviews! This time it's RRR, which I found really hard to talk about in 2 pages.
I don't know anything about Indian cinema so I came in with only a look at what it's doing visually, hopefully I wasn't speaking out of my ass too much.
As always, if you're pledging $5 or more, please don't hesitate to leave a comment asking me to review a film, I'll add it to the list. Only condition no horror jump scares and if it's not in En...
2023-10-08 20:15:50 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, we're at the 40 minute mark right now, so I have the basic structure of that part slowly getting parted away.
I think next week will possibly finish up to 50 minutes to an hour, which might put us in a good position for Mid-November for the video, assuming everything is going at a decent pace.
2023-10-08 18:56:06 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, sorry I wasn't able to get the Persona 4 editing progress up yesterday. I rendered it for Saturday overnight, but the render got stuck on something halfway through so I had to render it over Sunday night. Classic Adobe product stuff.
My hope is by the end of this coming week to get to the Lord Knight stuff, so the basics (still need sound effects and some cleaning to do) will be up to the LK stuff, hopefully?
2023-10-02 19:52:54 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Here's this week's movie review, The Warriors. As always, I will try and get reviews up by Sunday, anyone with the $5 tier can request them but anyone who pledges has access.
One thing I completely forgot to mention about The Warriors is that I thought the cinematography was amazing. Shooting at night is hard, shooting at night with such contrast is harder, and shooting at night with that level of controlled definition and keeping the colours as clean...
2023-10-01 18:45:49 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, here's the current progress. I think I will be able to get to the Lamarre section next week, it's been moving at a decent pace so far. Once I get to, like, concrete parts of the game I think it'll move a bit more.
From now on, I think I'll upload only what I've got finished, or at least, what has been added. I didn't realise Patreon has a limit on its uploads (in hard time), so I guess I shouldn't be uploading 2 hours a week every week lmao.
2023-09-24 19:12:20 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
I finally got back into the groove of reviewing movie recommendations. The requests are for the $5 tiers, but access is for anyone who pledges. I think a working schedule is:
Watching on Thursday
Writing on Friday
Publishing on Sunday
So that hopefully comes out to a review a week, assuming nothing awry happens. If you're a five dollar patron, and like to request a review, just leave a comment here a...
2023-09-24 17:27:56 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Sorry I wasn't able to get the progress in yesterday, the section with the cardboard cutouts took 4 hours to render, so it ended up being a much longer render time than I was hoping.
Progress is up to 15 minutes, so 1/8. The progress rate isn't too bad. I think some parts will be faster than others.
I'm slowly getting through it, some stuff is easier to compose than others.
I was also going to get that Sky Crawlers review (250-500 words) out today, but it ...
2023-09-18 00:29:26 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Sorry about not updating last week. Not much has happened on this end, a lot of it has been trying to find material for the video overall, but hopefully next week will have more progress.
2023-09-11 17:08:59 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, here's the current draft footage for the video. As you see, it's all camera stuff right now. It took longer than I thought because my stupid saliva noise got caught on the microphone, and it turns out it cleaning two hours worth of mouth clicks is a real pain in the butt.
I haven't added Lamarre's or LK's stuff in, so this is shorter than the final video length.
2023-08-26 17:53:43 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, for the past five years since this Patreon has been up, I've tried my absolute hardest to avoid using any Patreon money for personal use. Any money spent has gone to anything that can be functionally traced back to helping the channel and its content (plugins, books, equipment, subscriptions for hosting, etc). Conversely, I've tried to catalogue everything as transparently as possible.
As some of you know, I recently lost my contract due to a set of circumstances, and while...
2023-08-23 00:21:23 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Sorry it took - jesus, 6 months? - to update the Patreon budget. It has been updated in Discord and on the site now:
I've removed the password, I was really worried about personal information for a while, but I don't think anything incriminating or personal is on there, so I might as well just post it as a page without a password. So no pass...
