Edited entirely on my Grandpa’s computer in Oregon, while on Summer vacation.
As soon as Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared 6 came out on June 19th, I knew someone had to stick them all together. And of course there were [1-6 COMPILATION HD] videos uploaded immediately, but I wanted to take it a step further.
Of course someone beat me to the punch, but I didn’t see so until I was 60% done. It’s actually quite interesting to look at the different approaches we took to the task. We had a lot of similar ideas, like the use of TV static in reference to DHMIS being a children’s show. He actually cut off the top and bottom of the video to make it cinematic.
I actually went through all credits of all the episodes to make the big credit at the end there. Took ages. But then!!! My file corrupted! The .veg file for this project no longer exists, so I can’t show you any of the details. All I was left with is this poor quality render that makes the credits look atrocious!
Anyway, the thumbnail was also a challenge because my Grandpa didn’t have Photoshop. So I had to combine this promo image from the Kickstarter with this promo poster, in Sony Vegas. Even though they’re colorized differently. I ended up with this weird Frankenstein poster.
But luckily, thanks to some careful cropping, you’d never know that the difference in colorization wasn’t my intention unless you read this Tumblr post.
Interesting notes:
- A lot of the audio effects I used to spruce up the transitions were learned from making Spook Eater.
- This final frame was a real, unintentional video glitch (further proving how terrible this render was). But it is thematically appropriate and makes me happy.
