Behind-The-Scenes: 40k Subscriber Q&A
🕑 Added 2022-10-09 20:00:05 +0000 UTC
Here's my thoughts on my Q&A video!
This video turned out WAY longer than I thought it ever would be. I am still surprised how many questions everyone had, and how many good ones I got to answer. The total number I believe was 70 unique questions, which is actually pretty good to cover in just over 90 minutes.
I obviously don't have anything to say about the script, since this entire thing was unscripted. But I did try to compile the questions and order them so that there was different segments I could talk about at once (gaming, anime, channel questions, etc.)
Recording
Recording the video took quite a while. Turns out even when I don't have a script I still record for too long, because I like to ramble and pause to think a lot. The raw recording was over 2 hours.
Editing
Editing this was very straightforward. I just used simple images on screen and only a few editing jokes here and there. The brunt of it was just chopping up hours of footage into something useable. I wanted it to flow quicker even though the raw recording had lots of long pauses. You can even see in the timeline that the cuts were so frequent that you can barely make out the footage in the green screen layer.
I also just found some nice comfy background videos that I could put behind me. That along with the Lofi Lia music (shoutout Lia, they make amazing songs) I think made the whole video feel pretty cozy. It's a good background video I think.
Thoughts
Overall, a pretty simple video to make. I don't have too much to talk about the behind-the-scenes, since there's nothing too crazy going on. I hope my answers were satisfactory, and I hope everyone enjoyed the Q&A!

Awesome job with the video! Just finished watching and wanted to send well wishes along with an anime recommendation. Darker Than Black was one of my favorites when I first got into anime so it might be worth a look. Keep up the great work big dog.

thank you! I only really remembered it for the video, and how nobody talks about it. I almost want to reread it again just to familiarize myself

This was a really great video! I left a couple comments on the video, but I’d love to discuss Pendragon sometime. Btw, I never said Pen Dragon. Spent literal years saying it like… PENDRA Gon

Fun video! Unfortunate about the youtube fuckery. Seems as though they genuinely do not care about the lifeblood of their company. Would love to recommend some anime though! Paranoia Agent and the rest of Satoshi Kon's work are truly unique if you haven't already seen them. Also, Heike Monogatari is one of the most visually and musically stunning shows I have seen in a while. Sorry for the essay, thanks for the vids.
