Behind the Scenes: Titanfall 2 (Patreon)

How the video came about:

In short, I really like this game. It's as simple as that!

I'd been away from making videos for a little while what with having a cold and generally not feeling creative of late and Titanfall 2 is something I'd been playing a lot of.

It got me thinking about how I'd like to do something more worthwhile than a Today's Topic Review on it...

How the video changed during production:

That's just it, this game along with a couple of others I've been playing recently made me think doing a simple "sit down and talk about it" style of video wasn't doing my feelings on the game justice in a way...

I like being able to over exaggerate and go overboard with things, almost playing on the fact I have an audio/visual canvas to build upon, so animating and adding sound effects to things can be pretty fun for me... and Today's Topic just doesn't allow for that.

I'd sort of painted that format into it's own corner of it being the more formal of my two shows and that was started to inhibit ideas at times.

Eventually this lead to me thinking about the idea of doing more shorter main videos, which in a  way sort of came from the April Fools special I did on Overwatch, or Battleborn, whatever you want to call it! 

On top of all of that, this entire video ended up originally being around 10 minutes long which wasn't the plan, and generally I just wasn;t happy with the video.

So despite having the majority of those 10 minutes fully edited, I re-wrote the whole script and after re-editing everything I ended up with the current video which I feel better about!

Other trivia and info:

In the opening when I throw the controller away, upon impact it makes a scream. That scream sound is from the Gnat Attack mini-game found within Mario Paint for the SNES. I've been re-watching some Dex The Swede  videos of late to help get me motivated again and his video on Mario Paint uses that sound a few times which kept making me laugh.

I've kind of thrown that in here as a nod towards him, to be honest. He's a good creator, check him out.

Speaking of other creators, the hologram that appears from the game case is none other than CraftyMattGaming!

I asked if he wanted in on this video because we both ended up playing the multiplayer together a few times, as well as him being one of the people who originally recommended me the game!

Other than that, there's not a lot in the way of trivia this time.

Despite it's short length, editing rendering this video was a nightmare. 

Sound filters broke, sound effect assets deleted themselves and the whole project file corrupted at one point, forcing me to redo the final hour of work I'd done.

Not fun, I must remember to make backup saves more often!

Until next time!
