Folks,
Little update. I'm finishing up BB Day 3, but like Day 2 I'm swapping out some of the clips that were made before I figured out my new process utilizing some new tools that significantly improve the quality of my videos. Also, I've been working on Sound FX given that several of you have commented that you think it would add another dimension. Here's what I'm working on:
Creating specific sound effects to supplement or augment my soundtracks.
Creating specific sound effects using ElevenLabs to add depth to the videos by providing background sounds to increase immersion.
Working with Adobe Premier to learn Sound Effect controls. It's been pretty fun.
Basically, I've realized that one of the huge advantages to making this stuff is that it's a strategy that allows me to continually hone my skills in a way that never gets boring. I've uploaded a clip to emphasize that titled "Experimentation and Practice". The still shot attached to this post is the start frame.
When you watch it, notice how consistent the fingers and hands are, even with the movement. There's almost no morphing in the entire shot, and the anatomy is almost perfect. That 10 second clip took me over 4 hours to make, and I never lost focus once. This is from the guy that can't take a pee without thinking about where his urine goes after he flushes it and stands there staring at the toilet for way too long.
Also, in other news, I got my first $100 Patron. DJ you're the GOAT, and I'm so happy we've gotten to know each other. For the rest of you guys, $15 is more than enough. I appreciate literally every dollar I receive. But if you've got the cash and believe in what I'm doing, I put those dollars back into the business to help me improve. Consider it!
Best,
-Dio
