Aaaaaaand all done folks. The latest bullshittery is ready for your viewing and can be found here. Random Rising Storm 2: Vietnam Bullshittery - https://youtu.be/8ID4JBkjXMk

So sorry this one took as long as it did. It was an unexpectedly difficult slog that didn't seem to have any easy bits throughout. Both in locating all the useful scenes and in animating the effects.

So to breakdown the overall project:

Week 1 & 2 - Pre-production work, going through the streams that had been archived and finding all the necessary clips that can be used, resulting in about 200 of them. More than enough for multiple bullshitteries of Rising Storm is desired.

Week 3 - Mostly taken up by familial obligations over the Christmas period. But some cutting was done.

Week 4-5 - Cutting stages, utilising about 60 of these clips with about 150 After Effects compositions. The cutting did actually prove harder than usual due to the number of fast montage'esk scenes, which often occurred weeks apart. Maintaining consistency during said scenes was difficult. I opted to use quite a few audio layers from unrelated combat scenes in order to hide obvious cuts that would break flow. 

Week 6-7 - Primarily editing and animating of various moving text. Masking was also harder than usual on this since it was rarely a simple wall or object, but an entire G.I running past the camera. The edges of which are quite complicated. The same can be said for the contours of the gun in the player characters hands.

Week 8 - Finishing of editing and mostly quality assurance. Fixing errors or generally applying polish or rework.

As always, if you have any comments, feedback or questions you're welcome to leave them below or on the video. I'll happily hover over the next couple of days and answer them all. And thank you again for your support. I'll get back to you soon on ideas for the next video.
