- framing was wrong but with all the light in my eyes i couldn't tell
- i wasn't recording visual on the very first take
- 5m in my camera battery dies - no spare battery so 2h wait to charge it in full elf geer - i was laughed at
- i tripped on a prop (I'm ok, it was kinda funny, blooper on discord)
-20m in recorder batteries die (but i had spare charged)
- my stick-on nails/ears/cloak fell off MULTIPLE times
- the feed in my ear brought to you by visible chunky BEATS 'medieval' headphones
- i got bored waiting so ate myself to the 'food baby' stage while i was waiting
- couldn't figure out how to get even exposure - that will be fun in editing
- green screen fell during it (see discord for blooper)
- card filled up a few minutes into the last take
- i have no tape and washi tape did not stick the brown paper to my crown, so u see the fancy washi tape and the brown paper dangle thru the whole take (heartbroken)
that means i have to film it all - AGAIN -
-  i finally go to film the final AMAZING take (knowing where i went wrong) and my brand new light dies. DIES. it or the adapter, something smells of burnt plastic. sigh....


i am trying not to cry, and seeing what i can do at this point....film with one light??? just make do with the take i have??? i dunno....
probably won't refilm coz with 3 lights it's already too dark so...i'll just have to make do.

i wanted this video to  blow ppl away, take them to a fantasy world, offer them some calm and solace. After almost 3 months of no filming i wanted the wait to be worth it......and i've failed. A simple 25m video. i couldn't do it. Sigh.

this video is cursed.

I’m sorry about all of that :( it all seems very difficult and I’m sure the content you have is great. I hope things will quickly turn around for you!

It do be like that sometimes. So sorry this has been a stressful project. Nevertheless, we still love you and we'll still enjoy the video! Hopefully this will also help iron out more kinks for next time too.

Filming was the biggest stress but editing is SO MUCH FUN at the moment! So it balances out I suppose! haha. Hopefully, i do need a replacement adapter, so the second light at least functions. And hopefully in future can add a few more lights! Let's hope I learn from my mistakes here. I think a big help will be to actually look at the view finder, i flick my eyes there occasionally, but coz im near sighted i still won't even catch mistakes, if i were able to have a good look i could fix my headphones showing for eg. but i lose immersion when the creator is looking in the view finder so i try not to do it! But it saves a lot of heart ache if i could check every 5m or so!!
