Extremely Early Preview + News (Patreon)

Hey everyone, here's an extremely, extremely, extremely early preview of the next video. This is actually just a scratch read, I normally do these audio-only but opted to do it on camera this time and walk through the whole process.

These scratch reads have a couple key functions. First they give a sense of the actual final runtime. I can usually get a pretty accurate guess just from word count, but it sticks better in my head once I can see the timeline visually in my NLE. Second, they help catch things that might not be odd on the page but sound weird or repetitive out loud or are just physically hard to perform. Third, they provide a foundation for pre-visualization, marking out segments that are maybe too long and need some change in style to keep momentum up, or segments of script that are too short for their visual component to actually play out.

We have written a lot of this around visuals that aren't included in any form, so there will be oddities about "this thing here" and "that thing behind me" but if you want to leave feedback on something that didn't make sense or a point you got lost on, at this point in the process we would rather sort through people pointing out the obvious rather than remaining silent about something they just assumed we were going to address.

NEWS

I will be presenting at XOXO in Portland August 24th, i believe passes for this are already sold out.

I will also be at PAX West August 30 through September 2nd and will have a presentation "Why It's Rude to Suck at Warcraft LIVE!" in the Firebird theatre at 2:30pm PT on Sunday the 1st. In addition to the panel I have a joint table with Film Joy (Movies With Mikey) where I will, for the first time ever, have actual planned merch and not just whatever leftover props happen to be laying around. I'll make a post specifically for the merch in a few days, but there will be two different brand new stickers in both a large and small size, a fresh run of My Cohendolences cards from This is Financial Advice, and a brand new t-shirt produced by Catawampus Ink.
