DF Retro: Resident Evil 2 Preview! (Patreon)

I haven't posted for a while but I wanted to share at least a little something with everyone! I'm hard at work on the next episode of DF Retro set to release this Sunday but I thought it would be fun to share the introduction for the episode for anyone interested in a small taste of what's to come!

This also should give you a little insight into building these episodes. Basically, when I work on an episode of DF Retro, there's a process that I go through. I always start with capturing/playing the games in question - and sometimes this can take a LOT of time since you need to go through and capture many different versions. For a game like RE2, this is pretty challenging. After that, it's all about filming the b-roll inserts and starting the script which I usually write in small chunks.

So the reason I have an intro finished is simply because I work better when jumping between tasks. So taking a break from script writing to start the edit is great since it gives me something to build from. I made this intro in about 2 hours - just sort of fiddling around with my assets, the music and what I wanted to say. It's always important to try and do something fun for an introduction, I think - at least for myself. It helps kick the project off!

As of writing I have about seven minutes fully edited but have a lot left to go! Can't wait to return in a few days with the final product and I hope everyone enjoys it!
