Technical difficulties and... No, nothing else. Just technical difficulties.

So I made a video for you all. :) As I'm writing this it's about to go live, and I'm getting that weird oh-my-gosh-what-was-I-thinking-this-isn't-funny feeling again.

Basically, the joke is that the hardest part of filming is finding decent lighting. Yeah, that's it. That's the joke. And it's not very funny, but I like to think that funny is something you will happen upon. So if the odds of making something funny are 1/5, I'm just hurrying to make five videos so I can see which one is funny.

The reason that I'm still posting it even though I'm adamantly against people posting things they aren't proud of is because I worked SO FREAKING hard on it. I found all the music, sound effects, and made the graphics this morning. Then I spent the afternoon working around about 50,000 technical difficulties, and that's the funny part.

First of all, in the middle there are four clips of me trying to find good lighting but failing. This is basically a montage of the past week for me, except in the ONE VIDEO where I am actually embracing the bad lighting, my lighting is good. Too good. And I can't get the right effects without color and contrast distortion after the fact. No one probably noticed, but it made me feel dishonest.

The second technical difficulty I encountered was video/audio un-synching. Most of you probably know what that's like and most of you probably know that it's usually unexplainable. And that it sucks. But after restarting my computer three times, it magically worked again. For no apparent reason. So next time it happens, I won't know of anything to do except restart my computer. Three. Freaking. Times.
