Evil Within 2 Trailer | With Original 1992 Version of Ordinary World

Originally created: 28 June 2017

Alright Imma be honest, I just wanted to flex my audio editing muscles for once. I mixed all the audio in Adobe Audition (I was also using it at the time to mix my mashup album, The Book of Genre). I downloaded hundreds of sfx from www.freesound.org …THEN I LOST THEM.

Hit a serious snag in development, in which I lost a lot of my progress, saved versions of the file, and downloaded sfx. That damn Halloween-video curse struck again, as last seen on the Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared Movie. Anyway, I let it rest for a long time before deciding to resurrect it from the dead (heheh, geddit).

Everything past 1:13 was done more recently, and more quickly; so if it seems rougher that’s why. I was rusty, and I really didn’t want to drag out the production of the video any longer than I had to, especially after that unpleasant snag. Still pretty okay with how it came out, and definitely proud of a lot of the audio mixing in the first half! Had fun with it too, and that’s the important. aprta oh sh looks elike my tpying is cuscred tooo

Interesting notes:

  • I did not plan on this being a follow-up to my FFXV Stand By Me video but the fact that it worked out like that makes me very happy.
  • I tried to make the sfx keep in line with the rhythm of the song, and it mostly works!

Brettimaeus | Official Trailer [HD]

Created: 17 Nov 2016

This video arose out of a desire to be able to show normal people my videos. You see, when you just make a buncha weird nerd stuff for nerds, it gets difficult to explain what you’re making to the normies. Y’know, I needed something that didn’t make use of any pre-existing intellectual property, so my only option was to film myself. It’s technically not the first live action video on my channel. But the only other options are vacation videos, and tons of people make those. I needed something that really represents my weird style, while being short and dense. So this not only functions as a trailer for new subscribers on Youtube, but also as a trailer for real life people who want to kinda understand what I’m doing with my time.

I also just really liked the idea of formatting a Channel Trailer like a real film trailer. Getting some dramatic shots, sticking dramatic dialogue on top. The perfect chance to show off while also being honest and self-deprecating. I even riffed on some classic Youtube clichés, like the “Oh, I didn’t see you there,” line. Good stuff.

Interesting note: The testimonials at the end were all delivered live on-stream by my friends, who were unaware that they would be quoted.
