Update: 7th August 2017 - New Equipment (Patreon)

Hey everyone, as I said before I'd like to try and keep a detailed set of posts going over video progress, and a few things have been happening in the the last week worth mentioning!

I wanted to make sure things were in place and working before I outright mentioned the big one, but yeah as you can see from the header image...

I have a green screen!

I've had a play around with it to ensure it works, and I'm glad to say it works perfectly. It's been a bit of a journey in the last moth or two, trying out different ways of doing it. 

But I happened upon a small independent fabric shop that had masses of this green fabric in stock for sale.

After getting measurements for what I'd need I went back a  few days later and bought two sheets, one large one that covers the entire wall and a good amount of the floor. And another, smaller one to use for covering other objects, or as a shroud.

So yeah, after a couple of basic tests standing in front of it I'm glad it works as I hoped. It's made of nylon so you can kind-of see through it, but it doesn't seem to affect it at all.

I'm glad, because this opens up a lot of doors for things I can do with my videos, and the whole thing has ended up being MUCH cheaper than buying a pre-fabricated green screen.

Which leads me to what's next...

There's a slight chance I might be able to get my hands on a review copy of an upcoming new release title.

If or when that might happen I can't be sure of, but it's one of those "if you don't ask, you don't get" kind of things.

My name is on a list somewhere, so that might be all it takes... I've no idea how this sort of stuff works to be honest.

It seems odd that I'm even in a position to ask for something like that, as a consumer of video games it's like... a free game.

But obviously, I'm asking for it with the full intention of making a video about the game in question, and some sort of early access to it would help new viewers find me and my channel!

So, if that happens it'll take priority while it's a relevant topic to talk about, which I'll post about on here. 

Other than that, it's back to the usual balance of my day job and working towards the next video as and when I can.

Thanks for reading, and for your support!
