dwellufool Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hey ya'll, I just released this sorta-kinda pilot for a short series I've had on my mind for Fallout 4. I'd like to hear the communities' feedback, and if there's interest in this sort of thing? Let me know whatchya think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minngarm Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Not bad, doesn't really keep my attention but doesn't turn me off of it either. You'll need to put another episode or two out fairly fast to develop a real interest in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwellufool Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) I don't think I'll put out the next for a bit as I got some other projects to put out beforehand. I tried avoiding the "shot reverse-shot" RvB-inspired shows that put me to sleep. I approached this like I would my job or any other live action show with film-making principles (for camerawork and editing). It's hard to compete with instant gratification media on the internet for attention. Even worse, to me this video was "short." Maybe it's more about trimming the fat? I detest resorting to memes or easy jokes. (to me a meme in a video = "did I do that?" from Urkel). May be better to put that to bed. This didn't have any flying ponies or inappropriate imagery to give it that edge, or something to set it apart. Thanks for the reply! I'll keep working on my thinking about it.

I'll keep working on my thinking about it.The camera work is good, it's the meat of the story or lack of it rather that is what's keeping it from perking my interest. From a technical stand point everything is fine, but what do I know, I havent done film or editing in over a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a technical stand point everything is fine, but what do I know, I havent done film or editing in over a decade. Good point. There's nothing very punchy, just some setup-payoff... I'm sure there's a good middle between the technical end and the writing humor I can achieve. I always seem to favor one for the other (but the brash/over-the-top humor gets the views, for certain). Hey, principles of editing are still the same if you ever get back into it. It's just faster because it ain't on tapes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do solid take recordings in xsplit for my own lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwellufool Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Still on Final Cut and Avid for big comapnies. Adobe is probably taking over with the next generation though. Workflow is superb in it (export to audition/after effects within project) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipperken Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 You say:I detest resorting to memes or easy jokesBut then you say:to me a meme in a video = "did I do that?" from Urkel How ironic... XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwellufool Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Que? I meant I think using that line from urkel is a bad joke, and is similar to using memes in a video. Although h3h3productions has some kind of exception to the rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
