The new video looked (and sounded) great. What part of it took so long to produce? Is it the speed of editing and post-processing the (presumably much larger) HD video files?
If he sets up another fundraiser we sure could raise him enough money for an SSD!
I have a (very small) SSD actually xD .
It took a long time to find a good setup for the lighting, camera, microphone and me that worked for this, so working out the logistics took a while by itself. The script took ages to make as well because of the amount of content (I scratched about a third of it in the end) and was done in a different way from the normal way. The actual filming took much longer to do as well, not just because of the amount of stuff but also because I had to constantly reposition the camera, re-focus, clue the mic, etc. Not to mention the whole underwater thing. I total I filmed 61 different scenes not counting the slides sequences, underwater bits, the typing demo etc. Then after that I had to edit all of these, and sync up the mic audio with the camera audio for every individual scene, all in a program I'd never used before. The exporting takes ages, and I had to check and revise the whole thing five or so times.
I made a screenshot of it:
So yeah, bit of a labour of love, this one
