Video-essay fiddling - Update #7
Added 2020-11-09 19:57:50 +0000 UTCThank you for the feedback folks, both here or on Youtube itself. I promise I've read through all of it, it's all very helpful.
So I've made lots of tiny corrections to the timeline, mostly audio. Some typos or mask errors. The next render starting tonight should be better. It's clear that I do have some areas of improvement though:
- My presentation is a bit too fast for a video of this size. I'm overwhelming the audience sometimes.
- Generally needs more breaks and pauses. Possibly chapter breaks?
- Need to try and make the runtime shorter next time.
- I need overall more control over the background music or tone of voice.
Alas, these specific ones are the sort of thing I'll need to watch for next time as they're mostly structural and would require quite a lot of rework at this stage. But it all helps for the effort next time.
Going forward this week, my plan is:
- Render this video overnight as part of improved quality assurance.
- Work on the recorded dialogue for the replacement 2 minutes (difficult to do during the daylight hours due to the city noise outside)
- Edit that into the footage then quality assure.
- Remove a couple of things from part 1 & 2, then quality assure.
- Release all three in a new playlist called "Video Essays".
- Plan the next bullshittery and present you all with a poll of options.
Whilst that poll is underway I'll probably take a few days break if that's alright? Recharge the batteries. Maybe go fishing. Then on with the next bullshittery :)
