Howdy all and welcome to the very first usage of this blog. I'm not going to get into introductions or explanations or anything of that sort, but if you're curious check out the about page.
As teased a couple days ago on twitter with this accompanying image (the one right of here), I'm working on a video involving Mario and Half-Life. In actuality, the video will be a semi-playthrough / test of the G64 mod and its compatibility with Half-Life 1 Resized maps all within the open sandbox game of Garry's Mod. Since recording this project I already feel a desire to slightly restructure how my videos play out. I'd like to focus more on the informal and positive side of mods working in tandem with a base game, and the next planned video will fall in line with those wishes. I'm not much of a let's player, let's be honest.
As for my actual editing processes of this, I'm focusing on lots of quick cuts straight to interesting moments or "humorous" dialogue from me. The process began by marking everything that I feel would be adequate for the video. Obviously I wasn't going to use my full vod, and I'm currently aiming for this video to be around 10/15 minutes long. As an additional note, I've noticed short form content via Youtube Shorts is killing it. I don't plan to make specifically those, though the idea for small snip-its from the main videos being used for advertising via shorts is not a terrible plan.
The next conundrum I wanna worry about is the thumbnail, which I have a plan for. I'm not a fan of clickbait, but for the whole point of my social media experiment, interactions are everything. I kinda gotta trend follow really hard to make a name for myself starting off unfortunately. So as a compromise, I was planning on two separate titles and thumbnails. One pair that's extremely clickbait based that will be up for the first 48 hours of the video being live, and the next pair a more modest and truthful peer into the actual "influencer personality" I'd like to have associated with my channel and brand.
Theorized clickbait thumbnail variation.
But I'm solid for this plan, and this video in general since most work is completed, hope to have it out and scheduled for Thursday. Thank you for reading.
