Talking to ヘロー天気

This conversation is possible thanks to the help of all of my patrons.  


Context

I had an exchange with Hero Tenki, looking a bit at both his works and the climate of syosetu pre-2012. Though I would argue Sword Art Online is not isekai itself, it’s ...

October 25 2019 Editing Log

Sorry about the delay everyone, I've been working on some non-channel stuff and it's been eating up some of my time. Anyhow, here's where I am right now.

This is the general rough, I'll be adding a few more things and smoothing some out, but this is mainly to keep everyone up to date!

September 4 2019 Editing Progress

Hi everyone, sorry about the delay, but I just got back to editing it. My aim is for the 9th of September, cause then I can smoothly progress to the next one right away.

NONE of the audio has been properly levelled, there's a bunch of black space and there's a lot of footage that has been t...

Patreon Podcast: Mothman Prophecies Commentary Track

Listen to our terrible podcast as we discuss the mothman prophecies, based off America's own homegrown kaiju. I didn't realise how quiet I was until I listened to the audio, and if you know about this film, you'll realise that we didn't want to rerecord.

Editing Log 1: Sandra Annett's Anime Fan Communities

While I'm working on the next isekai video in little bits and pieces, I'll be working on two video projects: a video with Sandra Annett about her book on Anime's Fan Communities, with an emphasis on her earlier chapters, and a video on Ichigo 100% through the lens of Lacan's petit objet A.

Editing Log 8: Isekai Part 3

The master cut is finished! 

  • The audio just has to be levelled a bit more evenly

This is prior to Damien's thoughts, so ther...

Editing Log 7: Isekai, Part 3

Sorry about the radio silence everybody, I recently finished up (and passed!) my field examination. What that means is that I'm at least competent when it comes to my area of interest (Game Studies, Ideology, & Disasters). I'm now a PhD candidate instead of a student, which frees up a bit mor...

Hi y'all,

Got to some Kumo desu ga, nani ka assets, I will probably edit out the blood splatter, I don't like it because it's not really that organic in the context of the video.

The displacement map was a bit wonky on the hand for Kumo desu ga, so I transitioned from -5 vertical disp...

Editing Log 2: Isekai, Part 3

Here's the skeleton for the first minute. Considering we are going into a discussion on devouration and dealing with control, I might re-record my word devouration to something broader. However, if the audio doesn't sync up properly, I might not and just leave it as it is.

Hello, I've attached the skeleton audio of mine and damien's sections for the upcoming video.

Editing Carnival

Hi y'all,

I'm going to start doing what I call an editing carnival. It's not a festive thing. What I'm going to do is that when I start editing, I'll render and upload every part I have finished. That way, everyone has an idea of where I'm at, what the process is like, and see what's change...

Hi everyone,

So the wire on my drawing tablet finally kicked it after 13 years, so I'm going to be looking for a drawing tablet with a screen this time. As such, the excess amount (I've kept it updated in the discord channel) will be used to fund a tablet, which will hopefully allow me to m...
