Divinity Bullshittery - Preproduction scrubbing

Added 2023-11-07 10:46:22 +0000 UTC

Good morning folks, I hope you're all having a lovely start to your week. I'm back from my week off after finishing Untitled Goose Game. And I'm ready to begin the next project.

Since this one is my choice (alternating between viewer choice and mine) I'd like to see if I can take a stab at Divinity II again. I'd really like to see if I can get the entire series complete at some point in the nebulous future.

In this next chapter, we find ourselves in the town of Driftwood for Chapter II. Causing all kinds of trouble.

Currently however, it's all very high level and subject to change. I need to go through and "scrub" the livestreams, for jokes, points of interest. And relevant main plot elements that need to be setup for later.

Digging through the previous updates I remember making this, which pretty accurately illustrates my dilemma. This was the path we took exploring chapter I.

Therefore planning a coherent path. whilst maximising the comedic elements and making the narrative followable, is an ongoing challenge.

So over the next week or so I need to do the following:

Re-watch chapter II of the playthrough. Making copious notes.
Try to identify satisfying start and end points for a video.
Identify what absolutely needs to be kept in the edit.
Identify what can be dropped to the cutting room floor. It's a highlight composition after all. Only the best bits need be included.

I'll have a more substantive update in a few days. Have a lovely week!
