Tidbit

Sometimes I look at the things I make and ask myself, "was that really worth the time and effort I spent making it?"

--WARNING!--
VERY high resolution image.


Well, ahead and onward.
Oh, and FYI that pic is the same resolution as my desktop.

Script

Just a quick update for anyone who decides to read my blog on any sort of a regular basis.
I've had scripts collecting dust in my production folders for a while. The only reason I haven't done anything with them is because of time constraints. Now that I have time to work on guides I'm happy to say that writing is down to a minimal, and putting out guides in a timely manner will be no problem for a while. As it stands all of the scripts that I have just need clean up, and cross-referencing to make sure all the info is correct. Then it's just on to the faster stages of production, like video cap and narration recording.

Here's to (what I hope will be) a very productive summer.

Bioshock 2: Research Camera Guide

Would have posted this sooner, but blogger was down when the time came.

Here's my newest video guide, it covers the research camera in bioshock 2, and what you get out of using it on enemies. I hope you like it.



With this I'm closing the book on BioShock 2 guides. Why you may ask? The primary reason being that I simply don't like making guides for it. BioShock 2 is a great game, but because of how linear it is capturing footage of it is a pain. As a result I've more or less burned out on the game, and don't want to touch it for some time. I'll be moving backwards now to a game I've already covered before. I'll let you wonder about which one it is though.

Here's to hoping my next video doesn't take so long to make.

Final Stages

I'm moving into the tail end of production, and all that's really left is to tie up loose ends. That within itself can have it's fair share of trouble since plenty can still go wrong, but hopefully nothing will happen.

Anyway here are a few pics demonstrating the type of effects I've been working on for the video.




__update 6/6/10___
Everything is done now! Rendering as I type this, and then I'll upload. Fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong.

Making Progress

First I'd like to point out the little list in the top right of the page which I've added. I'm keeping it up to date so even if I don't post you can still get an idea of what progress I've made.

Anyway on to the point of this post. I've moved onto the final stages of editing for the video. However because I've pumped up the visual quality of this guide the editing is FAR more complex. If that's not enough, the effects are also VERY integrated into the editing process. This means It will take me longer to put out the vid than I thought. However I'm confident that if I don't get distracted I'll finish by the end of the week.

After this guide I'll be returning to a game I've done guides over before.
Puzzled about what game this vid I'm working on is over?
