Production update 2020-09-07

Alright, so, I'm sure you guys remember me saying that I might be able to finish the video by the end of August and to expect it in the first week of September. Well, like I said last week, unfortunately that was not going to happen, but! Even though last week was a little lighter on the workload, I did make progress. I can reasonably comfortably say the video is going to come out this Saturday, September 12th. Expect an afternoon stream on Twitch and a simultaneous release on YouTube, I'd like to say 3 or 4 pm EDT but I haven't quite decided yet.
So, what did I do this week? Well, mostly redoing stuff over and over to get it right. On one hand, it was extremely tedious to correct every mistake one by one and my script has a good 20% that needs a proper rerecording by now. On the other, I'm quite proud of how far the video has come, and I strongly believe it's my best work yet in terms of editing. There is cool visualization after cool visualization, and I'm really hopeful that I made the very complex subject palatable for a large audience.
Here's what the video progress is looking like right now:
- Script 100% done
- Recording 80% done (many parts need a redo)
- Editing 73% done
Time for a couple sneak peeks!
A bunch of variables being read as code.
And them being read as such.
Koopas being carried to their positions for the jump instruction. Notice the "ghost" of the intended position, and the labeling of enemy slots on the enemies themselves. Unloaded enemies are transparent.
Again, all of this stuff (and some of last week's) was worked on and reworked and reworked again, but I'm really happy with the result. This last part still needs some tweaking, but it's getting there.
Also, I'm aware that a lot of my visualizations resemble Dotsarecool/IsoFrieze's video on the subject. Don't worry, he read the script, he's on board with it, and he helped me with a few things as well. I gave him a proper shout out and thank you at the end of the video.
Anyway, I'll be hard at work this week so I can be done by Thursday! Friday is my girlfriend's birthday so that's out of the question!
Have a good week everyone, and see you on Saturday for the live premiere on Twitch!
