So the blog is about the character Guy Montag leveling to 85. But what about the video editing level of his Master? I'd say you can consider it "target is too low level". But: leveling is all about taking one step at a time though. So I figured I'd combine the first step for Guy Montag (getting back to Azeroth) with the first step for myself (learning to edit video's).
The result is not great, though not bad either for a first attempt ever at an actual machinema. For the idea I used the credo from classic painting classes: learn from copying the great masters. In this case my hero was Stoker and his How to Paladin series, which I recommend to anyone who can appreciate modern-day dada-art. Check out the result below:
The 5 hours of editing were followed by 7 hours of codec-hell: who would have thought that rendering a simple video would be so tough? Still, the overall result was good enough to push me over the (rather high) mental threshold associated with posting a public youtube video. And now that it's on the interwebs there's no stopping it anymore!
Hope you enjoyed it :-). Either way: come back next Wednesday for a new comic, and for a new video next week.
Guy Montag is ready for you! Are you ready for Guy Montag?
Haha! Good stuff. Love recreating the portals, should have done that on launch night for loads of fun.
