Well, medieval fair in Osgood at any rate. To-may-to, to-mah-to. We finally finished editing up the video and put it on our YouTube channel. Like normal you can find all that stuff off to the right. It has all the highlights of our little trip and came in at 6-ish minutes, not too shabby. Regrettably my initial plan of showing up at SCA events all summer has been somewhat dashed by the lack of nearby ones happening soon. Ontario is a fairly active province for these events, but you have to remember Ontario is bigger than some European countries. The driving necessary to reach all of them is more than a bit out of our meager means. None the less, we will continue to make these videos whenever we come across an event, just don't expect anything like regularity.
In terms if the video itself there's the habitual post-production angst over what we could've done better, but I think we learned some important things in this as well. I personally rather enjoyed our music montage and will be keeping that in mind for future videos. It's been a bad habit of ours to just collect video without really planning how it's going to be presented after the fact, and that's an other thing I'll hope to work on in the future. Particularly we need to work on transitions, and plan to improve them while filming. On the whole though I'm quite happy; not so much with the quality of the work as what we can take away from it.
As wonderful filler videos in the future I want to take another look at both Shogun 2 and Torchlight, while lining up a bunch of other indie games from a new charity bundle pack for new play throughs or first impressions. Hopefully we can keep producing things at a decent rate, maybe the channel will actually get a few views.
