Monster Hunter Wilds | Update 8

Written/Voiced: ~36:30
Visually Edited: ~18:00
Estimated Length: ~38:30

Hello again,
I was correct in my estimate for how much clip-type footage could be done in a day or two, that being about 5 minutes in total, jumping our visually complete time to 18 minutes. This video is heading along quite well.

However, I am doubtful of its reception. I've made many a long video that I was extremely proud of, and each time they have not been viewed by that many people.

I will...

Visually Edited: ~12:00
Estimated Length: big

Hi all,
Video has ended up kind of long because I am using the last section of it here as an excuse to dump a lot of cool clips that don't necessarily fit anywhere else but really demonstrate the specific, funny quirks of each of the monsters. I expect the editing for this part and for the multiplayer part to be faster than normal when I get to it. One day next week I'll edit through every single "Clip" part o...

Hi all,
Last post's estimation of how much visually edited was done was very slightly off, but thankfully I've got a lot done now and I have decided to create a significantly more accurate tally. The amount of visuals done in this video so far is very fast, and with a footage assistant, I can do it a little faster.

I have decided that I am going to add a section to the video that is more of an ...

Hi all,
Progress is pretty steady. My visually edited estimation may be slightly off. I had to waste a day trying to get a footage assistant again - I'm gonna keep trying to for now.
It's hard to explicitly quantify how much is done vs. not done when this is the most chaotic project. I'm bouncing between various visual sections every single day based on my needs. So, tallying them up is a l...

Hi all,
Progress is going pretty great. I think that I'm going to slow down eventually and not be able to do 60 seconds every single day of visuals. I'm nearing the end of the weapon section, and the project is just slow and steady, nothing new has occurred since the last post.

Hi everyone,

The video that I have attached here might still be processing. Give it a second, if you can.

The progress for the video is doing well. It might start to accelerate a little faster on the visual end, but I don't necessarily think this video will be out by the release date of Elden Ring: Nightreign, which is fine. I can usually do 60 sec of visuals a day, and I can usually do 80 ...

Hi all. The video should be 12:20 done by now (script & voice) but I had to take a day off because I was slightly exhausted/sick.

I have edited a portion of the video visually so that I can properly understand exactly what I need to dictate to the footage assistant and how I should write so as to take advantage of the visuals that I am able to do. There is a lot of potential for combinations of hunting,...

Hi all, I think 1/3 of the project written/voiced/sound edited in a week is pretty good progress. Obviously, there's still some random hiccups as I begin the project. Mostly technical.

I have the entire outline for the video done. I have decided that this video is going to include a lot of funny clips that I recorded with my friends. I am going to make sure that these clips make sense, are logically included...

What's up.
The next project will be Monster Hunter: Wilds. Normally I give myself a week to do research, prepare the video, do technical stuff, etc. I am taking 10 days because I am preparing to get a footage assistant, setting up his stuff, getting him on board and training, and I will see over the next month if it works out. It might not work out, but it's always worth a try.

Also, I have to learn every...

The Red Dead Redemption 2 Situation is Insane - Editing Secrets

Hi all,

I tried to cover pretty much everything major in this video.
This video will contain tips, tricks, or informative insight into what I do in order to record my video, but it assumes that you have some existing, basic knowledge of editing software like Adobe or Davinci, because this is me going into depth. However, the first part of the video is just me explaining how I record my footage!

Thanks for the support, working with the next editor to see if I can streamline my p...

Hello all, forgive me for being schizoid in this video, I am very expressive and I had a small amount of caffeine.

I apologize for the wait. I've been playing through the next game, updating my editing software and workflow, and then trying for a second time to get an editor to help work with this video and to train them with what they need to assist with.

Video's Almost Done

Hi all,

The video is pretty much nearly finished at around 30-32 minutes. All of the original content and main structural content is done in the video. Now, all that remains are the finalizing touches that I have to do for every video. This may take me around a week? I'm hoping underneath that amount of time.

1) I have to finish the intro, which uses a blend of existing footage. It's written out already.
2) I have to wait for and compile any remaining externally commissioned wo...

Hi all,
I wish I had a better estimation of exactly how much is "done" (it's debatable because there's a lot of footage that is done but doesn't have its voice acting done, etc.)

Anyways, I am not really great at estimating when stuff can get done. I have some IRL things to attend to, but thankfully haven't really taken any sick days this entire project at all so I think it's earned.

Wonderful news, plus some scheduling adjustments!
I have finished the cutscenes at the very end of the project. These were very rapid to finish, and I made great progress this week because of that. This will add to the time that I spend implementing people's voice lines. I will be having the narrative that I want in the video, and now a few things are left to do.

Hi all.
I decided to not make this the last section of my video. But the final section of the video should be shorter to make. As a result, I'm moving a planned section into that next chapter.

I want to have a final cutscene before I finish the video. Just personal preference. I will try to go make this tomorrow so that I can sculpt everything around it or see how it can fit into the project overall.

I'm lengthening the project because I ha...

Hi all. Jokes aside, 16:30 of the video is complete.
If you aren't aware, 2 days ago I had to delay the video by an entire week. I have since worked tirelessly to patch up the segments of the video between the parts that I cut out (which took an entire day!) as well as chug along with new content for you to try and get this video out. As a result, the video has gone from being delayed by a week to being delayed by about 6 days. N...

video might need to be delayed by 1 week

Hi all,

My original intention with this video was to pad for length a little bit by including some actual analysis intertwined with the comedy. As I wrote it, I became more enthused with the comedy, and I became far less satisfied with any actual analysis I wrote. I included them as long sections that transitioned from one chapter of the video to the other.

I think I will have to cut these parts of the video out. They total to 2:30. I will also have to write new stuff and change a...

Hi all!
Video is extended again. This is because we have some good news. Generally, I feel like I have much more to talk about in this game and want to keep going. I was afraid while initially writing this video that the quantity of funny material would have to be a smaller proportion and that there wouldn't be enough. Now, the video has become one in which the analysis takes more of a backseat and becomes a supplementary element to the humor. I like t...

Hi all, bad news unfortunately:
The progress of this week has been particularly slow. I've just encountered a lot of problems and I'm generally a little burned out on the project. I made sure that I could take a little time off, and usually when I do that the next week will be significantly better. I intend to work probably every single day next week to make up for it.

Other than that: I am on Chapter 2 of 4 still. Nearly done with it. So, this v...

Hi all,
I'm still filming for the next video, so progress isn't as fast as I would like it to be! But, that does mean that a lot of preliminary work for the next video is already being done. Well, if not the next video, a future project at least.

My plan is for the next video to be Dokapon Kingdom (a massive, probably multi hour saga with lighter editing, a very different video to the other ones, made in about the same time frame), or a conventio...

Hi guys,
Ended up taking one or two days off during the holidays. So, a bit less done than I would like, but I have become extremely enthusiastic about this video.

Early on, I considered this the hardest video to write that I have ever undertaken. Now though, I have set it up in a way where subjects tend to meaningfully flow from one another, and I have room for a lot of different stuff in the map and little bits here and there.

Hi all!
Progress is going OK. In my previous videos, I was very comfortable, and could get maybe ~35 sec of completed footage done a day, sometimes 30 and sometimes 40. This video is hovering around 30-35 seconds of completed footage every single day, so slightly slower, but you have to keep in mind that this video won't have difficult music sections.

I shortened the estimated time, knowing that it will most likely definitely release in February, ...

This is only update 0.5 because I have had to get away from the computer for a bit and do something pretty important, as I stated previously in my "bad news" post. After this, I will be okay, but this unfortunately had to be done. I do not wish to talk about the details publicly, as it is personal. But I have been gone for a few days, and will continue to be for just a few more.
Work progress is slow to nothing. But I will not be spending...

Hi all.
Beginning work on this project took me a long time. I had spent 5 days in a row playing the game for 10+ hours to get save files, various things, notes, and an outline for the video.

This video is going to be more unstructured and be about a lot of things in general instead of being about a review or summary. So, it'll be slightly different, but not that much.

Here you guys go!

I hope this is thorough and covers a lot of what people have been asking for. Visually, at least.

Good News, Also Bad News

Hi all!

Good news: The next video topic is chosen and all of the technical hurdles are now out of the way. This means I can start preliminary work and scripting tomorrow, and probably enter full production as soon as I finish a playthrough of the game. The next video is not necessarily going to be a Summary or a Review, but something different. For Red Dead Redemption 2, with a projected length of 15-20 minutes, but it could also be made shorter if completely necessary.

Hi, I'll get into more stuff regarding the status update later, but it's nearly done.

I get rusty and edit poorly with bad decisions if I do not get enough rest. That's already starting to happen now, so I have to take a break day before I work on the most crucial, final part: The intro music! Then, I have to spend an entire day rendering it. Yes, an entire day. After that, I should be able to get it to you. Maybe one more day in case something goes wrong. I have some copyright stuff to...
