EP26 Part 2 Update - State of EP26 and new Editors (Patreon)

AYAnother 10 days have gone by so it's time for another update.Imagine me, --Alfabus--, actually posting something in accordance to a schedule, huh? WEIRD.In addition to EP26, I'd also like to talk about Editor Secundus & Editor Teritum, but I'll do that afterwards.EP26 Update:As you might remember, last time I posted I talked about having edited the heaviest scene ever, and that it was all child's play from there. Turns out I somewhat underestimated what came next, as the editing was still pretty heavy, just nowhere near as heavy.Only counting visuals, I managed to finish 3 and a half minutes worth of video in these ten days. Not close to as much as the first update, but ALMOST twice as much as the last update.Alas, I know I can do better, and I do have some excuses as to why I didn't! Oh boy!!

First is, of course, that the scenes were heavier than expected.

Second is that I went to Stockholm for two days 'cause I was invited to a so-called 'YouTube Workshop' at Google's HQ in Sweden, which was interesting.

Third is Mother's Day, and a ferry-trip.

So that's 4 days out of the 10 where work was very limited.These next 10 days, however, will be fairly eventless. My partner is going on a trip to warmland by plane and, while I'll be incredibly lonely, I'll also be incredibly lonely--which means I can work all the time without anyone telling me to stop! Time to fucking die, mental and physical well-being--it's the god damn Editpocalypse again!!If I don't get more than 4 minutes done these next ten days, feel free to scream at me.Editor Secundus & Teritum:Okay, I have to talk about something that has been bothering me.Something I never expected to happen is that I would reach the goal for not only Editor Secundus, but also Teritum, in a fairly short span of time.It's  a m a z i n g, but, also, slightly problematic at this juncture.I have gotten in contact with several potential editors over this time, and a few of them have even made attempts at helping out in the editing process--but, unfortunately, it just hasn't worked out in any of the cases.TTS is a very time-consuming and very demanding project, I have come to realise. Of course, I have always got the time to work on it thanks to you, but for someone else to join in on the creation of TTS, that someone has to be a very special kind of person.I will be editing EP26 on my own. But, after EP26, I am planning on making a public announcement looking for two new editors that can potentially help create EP27 and other videos in the future.What kind of person will I be looking for?

I'll be looking for a person who has prior knowledge of the editing program used to create the series (After Effects), someone who can look at TTS and go "pffft, this shit is easymode".

I'll be looking for a person preferably from my own country, so we can meet up like proper colleagues, 40k nerds and, hopefully, friends. Preferably from, not 'required to be from'.

I'll be looking for a person who has the time to work on TTS. Someone who is willing and able to spend hours finishing up scenes at a phase roughly similar to my own.

I'll be looking for a person who can stay motivated, someone who can develop a passion for working on a project like this.

I'll be looking for a person who gets the humour we're aiming for. Someone who knows the characters and what the series is about.

I'll be looking for a person with a robust computer, good internet and big harddrives.

I'll be looking for a person who is... y'know, nice, good attitude, pretty reserved, and willing to work with someone like me for the foreseeable future.

Yes, I realise, finding a person like this, let alone two, will be next to impossible. It is a very steep set of requirements. But, if I did find people who fit these criteria--the future of this project would be set in stone.Proper fucking bedrock, even.Getting a hold of someone who has the knowledge, the time, the energy and the personality will, naturally, be expensive--something I am expecting and embracing. I feel it'll be one of the best investments I can make, because they'll be more than worth the money.Even if it'll create a dent in my own economy, being able to create more content will surely even it out. And, even if it doesn't, it really doesn't matter, because it really isn't about the money, it's about creating MY LIFWORK. I cannot spare this expense.You're the first ones to hear about this (as should be the case), and you are absolutely allowed to spread the word if you so desire.But, I'll be making an announcement about this after I am done with EP26.Wish me luck.Until next time, have a good one!!
