A new video just went live on the channel!

This time we’re talking about Devotion and the Games of Red Candle.

This was a pretty tricky video for a lot of reasons, because it’s not really one story as much as it is five different stories, that all feed into a greater whole. Trying to balance each section and give enough context to support the overall message of the video was difficult, each part required a lot of research into real world events, with some of the topics being pretty sensitive so I had to be careful.

That said though, I’m really happy with how this video turned out, it was a challenge but I feel like it’s pretty different to anything I’ve done before and should hopefully be a cool surprise for people.

The editing process on this video was actually pretty weird, I’ve never done a full video on something first person, and that was tricky because all of a sudden the focal point of your editing goes from “people” to “environments” and because of that I had trouble getting a sense of emotion going in the early edits, as the easiest way to evoke emotion when editing is to cut to a person feeling that emotion, but I didn’t have this option this time around, but it ended up being a pretty interesting limitation that was fun to work around.

As for me, I’m doing pretty good, I got some cool news about Convention stuff  for the Summer I’m looking forward to announcing soon, and overall I think I’m doing a lot better than I have in a while. Still struggling with work/ life balance stuff but thats on ongoing process.
