Shaking things up
🕑 Added 2017-03-30 15:29:13 +0000 UTC For a good few years now I’ve been trying to source a Buttkicker wireless kit at a sensible price, available to the UK. I’m happy to say that I finally managed to get hold of one on ebay so I’ve made a video about it.There’s quite a lot of talking to camera in this video as I needed to describe the experience and as it's a feeling it's not really something that can be demonstrated...hopefully this doesn't make it boring.
The (not so funny) muppet outro is, as usual, based on previous experience. The last time I sat on the couch talking to the camera I got dozens of comments about the colour of the upholstery. On that video I'd spent weeks and well over a thousand pounds putting everything together and the thing that attracted the most comments was the colour of the furniture. In reality it's a very dark magenta, but the bright studio lights make it show a lot brighter. So as I often do, I've used the puppets to vocalise the most predictable vacuous comments as a way to pre-emptively nullify them.
There’s early access to this video on Patreon, it should be going live to the world on Friday.
You may have spotted that I reached the $2000 goal, this is something I never really thought possible when I started on Patreon, so I have to thank you immensely. I promised that if I hit this target I’d do a behind the scenes video showing the full process of making a video.. so as soon as I find a suitable project I’ll get to work on this. It might be a while before I get to start on this as there’s always quite a bit of run-up to each video..so there’s a number of half finished episodes I’ll have to complete first.
Thanks again for your continued support and I hope you enjoy the video.
Oh one more thing. Youtube are discontinuing annotations soon - those are the things I overlay at the end of the video when it says - Click Here to subscribe. So now I'll have to change my run-out video. YT have a new feature called End-Screens, which I don't understand, but I think I'll have to create one soon. I'm just mentioning this as you'll be seeing some changes soon, and now you know why.
