So, I started a web series about performing arts:

The Gravity League - Morgue Anne

Even though this means I need to get the second episode done in a tenth of the time of the first one, I feel like I have more free time.

I need to stop sucking and write your theme music already

also, this is awesome!

No worries. I know you have several full plates, counting each of your hats. And, thanks!

confused about how the title / juggling opener related to the interview with a burlesque performer. Editing was pretty crisp to listen to, but the jump cuts mid-sentence were awkward. Will continue to watch!

Very cool!

Well, the logo bit is just branding. Me doing a head stall was to establish my bona fides as someone within the performance community. I can see how it would be confusing, though.

There were a few cuts that I wasn't happy with. I'll definitely keep working on those. Thanks, Shteevie.

Thanks, Morskittar.

congrats on Making Stuff! It;s a ton of work, I'll bet.

Yeah. Future videos will look even better, since I have lens choices now. Gear isn't everything, but it's still really important. I'll probably get new post-processing software soon, too.

All in all, this was probably about 20-25 hours of hands on work. Another 10 hours of rendering time. And I don't want to think about how much time researching cinematography and gear.

research is never really completed when it comes to hobby gadgets. You'll get faster as you go, with practice.

the worst is when you're learning how to do a thing and also how to use the tools

so you get ok with some set of tools, and then you're like, maybe i should check out this other set of tools, but then i'd be pushing back my learning how to do the thing...

Yeah. Most of the research was fun, but it still involved a lot of late nights. Thankfully, I've spent 100-200 hours editing video and audio, so the learning curve hasn't been too awful.

Although, I did only recently learn the "right" way to do color correction and grading. I fucked up my work flow on this episode, so I couldn't use any of that knowledge without burning ~5 hours

just reprocessing footage to go into Resolve. It's not professional grade because it's easy to use. ><
