Yo~ Here’s a back to basic Master Grade Gundam review! The original MG Zeta Gundam ver 2.0 review was a major step up from the previous reviews, so I kind of want this Zeta Gundam ver KA to be a similar improvement.

Production notes for future me to laugh at –

Over the last 2 years or so, I’ve really wanted to make something different. Lots of one off videos, most of which will not be uploaded. However, it’s been long enough that I think I need to return to my roots and just make a classic Master Grade Gundam review.

This ‘production’ was the most scatterbrained I’ve ever been. I know I said that with the last video (G Gundam Hyper Mode), but this was a whole other level of lacking structure

For context, the best way I’ve found to make a video is in the following order: Build kit / take notes - write script - make shot list based on script - get footage - update script with new finds - take a few days to let it marinate - update script one last time - Record/edit audio - organize all the files in Premiere - lay down the audio and edit the footage to match. This has always been the most efficient schedule for me. However, I’ve gotten way more laid back over the years, slowly disregarding the order, so now ‘production’ is just a chaotic mess

I built the kit, then immediately shot a bunch of footage. No script or shot list. Just whatever I thought I’d need. Of course, none of it ended up being used… The project folder for this video is 497gb! Yeah, it’s really high res 4K footage, but still. Willing to bet I have 2 hours of footage for this 20 minute video

Couldn't get the script where I wanted it. With earlier videos I focused on brevity, but as I made more, I chilled out and tended to ramble. I don’t mind, as I think it adds some character, but I’ve gone a little too far recently. Just talking in circles and restating points. Wanted to reign it in here

Tried to trim some of the repetitive fat, mainly removing the 4 categories in the beginning, not repeating points after a score, and no repetitive rundown during the verdict. I really like this update, though it does feel jarring compared to previous videos

The initial script would make a 30 min video. I trimmed it down and eventually recorded ~26 minutes of audio. Then when I edited the video, I managed to trim it down further to ~21 minutes. I still have the unused audio, and could easily add it back in. Maybe another time.

Way too many repetitive words in this one. Count the number of times I say: naturally, also, regardless, of course, and iconic. Might be a good drinking game lol

With the script finished, I went back and shot the footage I actually needed. Still managed to shoot too much though.

Almost none of the video footage worked. Every other shot was slightly off from the previous. I think the combination of the set and jumping to 4k shows more inconsistencies. Also doesn’t help that I actually hit the record button on the top of my camera for each shot lol. Probably moved the camera a little every time. Just bought a remote though, so hopefully that won’t be a problem moving forward. Had to spend a lot of time in editing micromanaging transitions between shots. Don’t want to have to do that again!

I hate audio. So naturally, I procrastinated. To be fair, it was always raining! Eventually though, I buckled down and recorded it. Many different takes spliced together, but it was all recorded in one 2 hour sit down, so hopefully it flows well. Also, it did still rain towards the end. RIP

Editing was similar to the last few videos, where I just put down the audio, then placed as much footage as I could over top, leaving a lot of gaps that I had to fill in with additional footage. It’s annoying going back and forth, but it’s really the only way to work when production is this out of order

No Photoshop title card here. They take FOREVER to make, but they were a huge help in learning Photoshop. I would like to return to them, but first I need to get back a structured production.

Been on a Mega-man kick recently, btw. My favorite will always be MM2, but I really enjoy X1, X4, Zero 3, and ZXA. Anyway, this is just another way of saying I’ve been listening to a lot of The Megas recently lol Both their Mega-man 2 and 3 albums are amazing!
