1st Homebrew Highlights video posted. Dragon subclasses and Halloween stuff.
Added 2021-10-31 16:23:46 +0000 UTCI've been wanting to make some YouTube videos to highlight some of the 800+ homebrews I've made to a wider audience/community, and to give people a way to get to know me a little as a player/DM/creator/human. I also wanted to give more exposure to other homebrew creators out there that aren't well known.
After quite a bit of trial and error, I was finally able to finish a full video and get it posted. Making this was definitely a learning process on the production side:
- lighting (amount, "temperature", angles)
- camera qualities (wife's phone camera is so much better than mine)
- background sound reduction (don't bother while kids are home or anyone else is awake)
- video software (learn it, then figure out why audio wasn't working)
- patience (waiting for time to record, for permission to feature others' content, for videos to transfer, for editing the process, for video rendering, for uploading...)
I don't know how many people will want to watch me talk just talking about the thoughts and inspiration behind various homebrews, but I'm thinking it will be more than one.
This video is 27 minutes long. Later ones I make will be shorter, because I don't plan on featuring a dozen subclasses at a time.
The video starts with what happened as I was about to begin recording for the very first time: my chair was stolen before I could sit down. It ends with the video software messing up the formatting of a list of patrons during final rendering.
Here's the direct YouTube link (for those that would like to share this with others): https://youtu.be/lHOQWjkoJDQ
Happy Halloween, all.
