Lasergames (Canned Video) (Patreon)

A little something for the weekend? - Why certainly, how about a look at an abandoned video....

Not every video works out as planned, this is one of those. There are just too many technical issues with it - it's the video equivalent of a rokblok.

If I were to put this out in the subscriber feed it would just generate complaints. People would be queuing up to lecture me about frame-rates, aperture controls, exposure compensation etc. However perhaps the biggest problem is that youtube's re-encoding process couldn't handle the bright visuals on display here and added a cloudy halo blob around everything that   wasn't present on the original video.

So while I've canned it, I thought I'd still share it with you here, because if you can put up with one of my blatherthon videos then this should be a walk in the park. Just as long as you know to approach it more as an extended outtake with a very shaky opening (literally) which then goes downhill, off the rails and lands flat on it's face.

UPDATE:

Thanks to your positive words I've now gone back and re-edited it, adjusted the exposure a bit, added a new intro and it's scheduled to go out in about five weeks. That's how far ahead I am now. I'm working on a few other videos at the moment, so it's more than likely this won't be the only one published that week. But if you get a sense of deja-vu in Mid April you aren't imagining it.
