Last night I finished editing a brand new T-Man Adventures (
) video!
I’d you’re not sure who/what T-Man Adventures is... look here
It’s Part 2, a follow up to the Blind Box Challenge: Level Hard video. You can see the most recent one here.. 👀
We made the challenges a bit tougher in this, featuring things like real paper money, a Pokeball, some rice and a plug. He did really well, so we’re going to do an ’Extreme’ episode as the last one of the blind box run - I’m gonna make them really difficult for him!
We have a really good theme going forward with these episodes
The format is working well, and they’re relatively easy to film with three cameras. It’s the editing where the hard work and real creativity begins to help it take shape.
I like the look and style.
We have three cameras rolling; one main wide shot on my C100mkii and two GoPro’s capturing the closer moments.
It’s been hard keeping on top of these videos.
We’ve filmed more than I have time to actually edit right now.
There’s three unedited sessions of gaming, which are going to be fun.
Another reason editing these can take more time than usual is because I’m cutting on my old 2012 MacBook Pro, which is very slow and laggy. When I’m not at my office I use this machine.
It’s generally good for web stuff and word processing but video... not so much.
I only edit this stuff in the evenings at home when the kids are asleep so I can focus - but the super slow computer doesn’t help 😬 I think I’ll get a new MBP with the M1 chip... super fast! 🔥
They say the key to YouTube is to be consistent with output and build a following..
Sadly I’m not doing very well with that. Especially when output on the MacBook Pro takes forever.
Hey ho, at least we’re doing it because we enjoy it and that’s what matters, rather than stressing over volume and speed.
