My friends, this video was struck by 3 disasters... :D
The first one was during the photo session when the breeze knocked the wall over and all the shutters got broken.
The second disaster happened yesterday, and it's the most frustrating one. When I went out to film the live intro and outro at the location of that old inn that sparked my inspiration for this project, my wired external microphone picked up some static from a bad connection or something. It happened in the watermill diorama when I was filming at an old railway track, so the culprit is the microphone, not the environment. Frustrated beyond recognition, I ordered a wireless microphone which arrived today and so far it's an absolute gem! I'm so disappointed with those live entries in this video that I'll go out and re-shoot them for the "official" upload on Youtube. Sadly, you're getting the best I could do with it using some noise reduction :((((
The final disaster was that I was up and editing until 4 AM (just like the old days!) so I could hit upload and everything would be ready today. I woke up at 11 only to find out that the upload froze at 29%....
So the video right now, at the time of posting, is still being processed in 4K... it'll take maybe an extra half an hour before you can enjoy it in 4K and not just in FHD :)
