Hi, long time no see.

Here’s the short version: I’ve laid out most things on the timeline, and everything is moving forward. Pace was good until I got sick, but that shouldn’t be a problem after a day or so.

Here is a longer version. Now that even Chris Wilson posted a video, I actually need to write it.

You know what? I wasted two hours making this post, explaining the how and why, then I asked myself: “Who cares?” And you know the answer? Nobody.

Not that one

Let's just watch some videos instead.

Since Patreon won't allow me to post a video, we'll have to watch it here.

Brother, eww, what's that?
Let me explain. That was a pass from one of the cameras that captures the main action and only moves forward in time. This means there are supporting cameras that capture things happening alongside the main action. You need to capture those as well, then cut and stitch everything together in post. It isn't very informative for you in a vacuum, but very helpful for me.

It doesn’t show in the videos, but there are actually different onscreen notes too. Something like this:

Then you do a second pass, and you can get something more coherent like this - click me
Keep working on the rest of the timeline until everything is done :-)
How hard could that be?

Honestly, I think I like this version of the post better than the previous one.
I’ll make another update on Friday with more progress.
