S04E01 Super Nintendo (Patreon)

Here you go Dudes and Dudettes! The first three scenes of S04E01! Let me know what ya think!

As you can see this is already over typical AVG episode length (about 4 minutes) but there is quite a bit more to go, including that slam dunk scene you saw earlier, and an unboxing of the system!

PRODUCTION NOTES

This is still in rough form! Lots of color work and sound work yet to be done. 

1. Obviously steam coming out of that pipe needs to be added as a special effect. This sound effect there will be replaced (literally me hissing into the microphone!).

2. Seguays and a new season intro needs to be animated (which I have been working on as a side project adding to the slowness of this post work).

3. Lots of sound effects will be added for comedic effect. Especially those 8-bit sounds you heard a lot of in season 3.

4. Still have to add film effects and projector sound effect to Dad’s flashback. Will probably have to bring that over to PC because I have not been able to get a cleaner chroma-key on the iPad.

5. Color grading is still in early stages. Saturation may be too aggressive for some devices. If you view this on an iOS device you will see it close to how I intend the final product to look. However a big part of grading is testing the shots on many screens and finding an overall tone that works across different gamma settings.

6.  I am also toying with a custom digital make up filter I have hacked together in Lumafusion. You can see one of those shots on the Dad close-up as he says “Anything’s possible”. I think digital makeup will more likely be used on the boys for their closeups since we are trying to maintain that youthful look in them and the guys, well, they got older since we started this show.
