So uh... 17 minutes lol.
Ah well, if there's any kit that deserves an extravagant review, it's this MG Alex version 2.0, especially considering what I said about that 1.0 review lol.
But yeah, hoping to slim the next few videos down. Ya know, really get this whole process down to a week of full time work, or 2 weeks of part time, just for my own sanity lol
Anyway, - Production notes for myself to look over at a later date but by all means read if you're into video production -
- I really wanted this video to be a step up from previous reviews, but at the same time this is a newer kit, so I kind of pushed to get this out quicker. It’s a weird dichotomy, wanting quality, but also wanting speed. I don’t like it. I need to review more old school kits, those don’t have an expiration date for video relevance lol.
- This was definitely the wrong kit to push for a quick turn around. Too much to run through. 17 minutes was honestly trimmed down compared to what this could've been. If I ran with the first script, it easily could've broken 20 minutes.
- I actually locked myself away for a week to see if it was possible for me to have a more frequent upload schedule, however with the size of this kit it was kind of doomed to fail.
- I spent a really long time on this script, really trying to edit it down, but I just couldn’t. There’s just so much going on in this kit. The script ended up 11 pages compared to the usual 7-8.
- I shot a whole unboxing video before this, and edited about half of it's expected 25 minute run time, but wasn't happy with it. I just don't like the off handed and speculative nature of an unboxing. I think "why tell me what you THINK the kit will be like, when you could just build it and tell me what it's ACTUALLY like." This is totally the wrong mind set for this site, but whatever~
- I messed with the “picture styles” on my 6D Mark II. Up until now I had just used them based on name, but this time I actually got into the purpose behind each. Turns out, while I had a set based on ‘fine detail’ I had 2 sliders up that actually DECREASED detail lol. So I fixed that. I'm going to do some tests before the next video, hopefully fixing the contrast inconsistency between the still images and video footage. Really excited for that.
- Side note, “picture style” only applies to JPEG's and video files. So this only affects the video footage in these reviews, but not the stills since I shoot in RAW.
- The thumbnail's not great. 0080 turns out is 90% extreme low angles and the other 10% extreme high angles. It’s actually brilliant directing, as it really puts you in the civilian’s (Al’s) shoes during the fights. However, when it comes to making a thumbnail… it’s terrible. Shots are never gonna have the right perspective, so I kind of just gave up. While the shot used is a low angle, it doesn't quite sync up with the background.
- I lost the right shoulder flap for the full armor. It just went missing... I think it fell into one of the plastic bags before I tossed them. I don't really care, since the full armor doesn't look that great imo, but still, it made getting the footage in this review weird. Thankfully, I angled the camera and cut around it, so it wasn't too visible.
- I used a lot of stuff learned from the MKII review here. Lots of split screens and cropped overlay images. While I think it looks good, it also takes a ton of time.
Well, that was quite the ramble lol. Here's the music I've been into around the time of making this review:
