Still writing the next video essay. It’s going to be a chunky one (first draft is already 2300 words at about the halfway mark). Well, chunky by my standards. It’s meant buying a capture card and recording a load of B-roll while I play through four “Assassin’s Creed” games. Plus reading a book of critical analysis of the series. Plus a visit to Birmingham library, which I don’t actually mind. Love wandering around that building.
I even streamed some gameplay during a couple of recording sessions. Seems OBS isn’t quite as awkward as it used to be. Unlike being on camera for two hours.
Last night was the first time I’ve sat down to make anything else of note recently. Rewatched a YouTube tutorial on making posters based on albums, which included a Photoshop template. Sure enough, once I’d successfully finished one I sat and made three more. May actually get a couple printed.
There’s ideas for a couple of other projects, but it’ll take some more learning and practice. It’s been nice to take a quick detour, though
