A review of the Master Grade Gundam Ez-8 from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Team.

-- Production notes --

- This video is technically a reupload of a previous review. However, I had to take it down and swap out the music, so I decided to make some updates. Below are the notes for the original version, followed by the notes for this updated version.

- Yo~ Sorry this one came out a little negative, but I noticed a lot of reviews (not just gunpla) will sugarcoat things, but I prefer to stay as analytical as possible, even if that leads to a harsher tone.

- Production Notes for me to laugh at in 6 months-

- I REALLY tried to speed this one up. I've noticed it takes on average about a minute before the review starts and I tend to waste time elaborating on things. I tried to make this as snappy as possible.

- I spent about an hour trying to find a better place for the intro. I tried after the initial "hey" part and after the 4 categories, but I just couldn't make it sound natural, so I just stuck to at the beginning.

- I had a real rough time making this kit look good. It's just such a bland kit in terms of colors.

Here are the notes for this updated version:

- The 2nd to last "updated" review. After this, I have the GM Sniper II to update, then it's all new material. Even older videos that need to be replaced will be replaced with COMPLETELY REDONE versions. I can almost see the light~ Seriously, these updated videos are really tedious.

- Drastically altered color filter. The Ez8's colors are so dull I really needed to put some work into it. I also really decreased the contrast. This video did not have the highest quality footage...

- Completely new audio running off an updated script. It's actually a minute longer. Turns out the original review had a lot cut out, so when re-recording this I recorded all the cut out stuff by accident, but decided to keep it in this time around. I think this updated version is a bit more positive than the original.

- New Title Card

- New Music

- Insert shots during score sections and gimmicks. New box arts as well.

- Lots of re-editing. The original review was very slow, and honestly not done too well. So took a 'from the ground up' approach to editing. Still the same original footage though, so I was still very limited.

- I tried using a split screen to fix the alignment of the articulation and gimmicks scoring section. Originally, the kit was too far to the left, and the words would cover it up. Here, I moved the footage to the right slightly, the used another layer of the same footage, but flipped over top and moved all the way to the left. This essentially elongated the shot, and allowed more room for the words. However you'll notice the transition from the Articulation to the Gimmicks title card has a weird line on the left that doesn't fade right. Need to figure out a way to fix this. But then again, newer reviews don't have this issue to begin with lol

Wow, thanks for reading all that. I hope it helps you in whatever video production you do. Here's a reward:    • inspiration
