Update Blog - 1/26/19 (Patreon)

In spirit of the recent announcement of the Oscar nominations, we shall make this week a little more extravagant by presenting each thing that happened with my work this week like an award ceremony. And so, the nominees for Best Highlight of the week are...

- Released the new editorial of 3D is Dead: As promised on last week's Update Vlog, I would put out a BIG informative video at least once a month and for January, I decided to put out an idea I've had for a long time and the I'm really excited to present to you all. I've always wanted to make a discussion piece about the current status of 3D in theatres and how it can work/not work. Admittedly, even I learned a lot and was only expecting to bring out the bad stuff, but with what I've read with the possibilities of how it could work, I chose to give it an open ending to see if maybe there is some redemption to 3D after all. Fun fact when making it, the pair of 3D glasses I got came with the blu-ray of Coraline, but it's not the classic red & blue, but red & green-ish, which I had to spend some additional hours editing so that the glasses, the reflection of the Guinness World Record book and the Inside Out blu-ray (thanks Disgust) doesn't get mixed up with the green screen effect and doesn't partly disappear with it. But overall, I'm really glad that it accomplished it's mission: to be a great discussion piece about something currently in theatres that should be questioned of its use and if we still need it. Really proud of this one and hope to make more like them.

- Making a NEW Editorial: What a coincidence that this week's video was an editorial and that I'm working on the next one at the same time! What I've done during this week is spend my time crafting this new editorial and getting the process done a little quicker than expected. I did all the writing and necessary research, I recorded myself in front of the green screen (should be easier to edit without the glasses now) and now I'm currently editing to put it all together. What I can say so far is that this one will be like the 3D one where it will mix both the informative history and my opinion on this piece. Stay tuned on the next Update Blog and I'll give you a bit more detail about it when I'll be done making it.

Wait...is that it? Oh wow, this is probably one of the shortest Update Blogs ever! Anyways, and the winner is...ME! Because I still accomplished a lot this week :3 AND...YOU!
