Math: Reflecting on 2021 with LENS?
🕑 Added 2022-02-04 03:51:23 +0000 UTCI wanna do this but first...
I did decide to change a lot with what I shared just last year, mostly because of time and resources.
Now , I literally have enough notable LENS from last year to represent every week.
So, on average, after videos are already snapped, every video thereafter takes 100+times to make than it is long: a 15sec video might take 10min ... could take 30min depending on text,tune,angle,cuts, sound balance).
Reminder, That doesn't include getting in gear, time DURING actual photoshoot/videos, or review while clearing phone to take more, or even posting or cleaning up to share⦠which is almost 1000 times the end video (a simple 3 hours of start to stop is 360 seconds x 3....more than 1000seconds alone). I'm never done within 3hrs. So I try to do them during streams or events to make it worth doing.
I make 30sec LENS for replies, but some never get posted cuz no comments, or the 24hr thing went by too fast.
My Average LENS is ~20sec.
A basic 52LENS x 2000sec is 29hrs.
I also made ~200+ LENS in 2021, not 52 (some get replayed else its a waste of effort, some I ditched).
So I spent 120 hours making LENS in 2021
Why does it feel like 10 hrs per month? cuz it is, at LEAST. Doesn't include time in outfits/prep/clean, just⦠making "LENS" stuff.
Math in short: I like LENS, I put effort into it because it's a great idea, I loved VINE, I miss it. I started making music to fit vines in like 2015, cuz I've made musics before and I felt bad using mainstream stuff to represent original/created stuff I did, had to be 100% in every way if appropriate! purest π€
Making GIFs and the GIF reels are seperate, but definatly took time.
Some people are simply not able to understand the time allocation artists have to plan for and ultimately go over. My time is also caretaking starlightslk as you know, etc etc, not much overlap, it's all 100% attention here or 100% there. Time gets away from me like in 2021. I was ahead of it with calendars but got covid/kidney stone issue and lost Jan2022, and Feb looks funky.
Please help pick out what you remember as your fav outfit, character, LENS in 2021 that you would like in a mega reel. I posted 70+ at once as an experiment for this in that holiday monster reel. Make the efforts worth it AGAIN! I can't do unless ppl note favs. Comments or messages work. (GIF included is NYE Dec31st2020 into Jan1st2021)

I'm always a fan of Katastrophia, you know that, but I want you to enjoy yourself, have fun with it! I know you're asking for requests, but you should at least be able to enjoy yourself while creating, as well β€οΈπ€π€
