One upping myself

Sept. 18, 2007 | by Evertras | Tags: emo, isap2, venting

I'm currently sitting here with Vegas open with I Suck At PvP 2, and I've got about 12 minutes completed. It's been very slow going out of sheer laziness, or more to the point sheer unwillingness to get done what I want to get done. I guess I've got a bit of burnout.

Honestly, I want to make each movie I work on better than the last, and in a way that's starting to screw me over. I'm proud of what I've done so far, and honestly think it's a step above the last one in nearly every way (editing and the fights themselves), but ugh I dread going any further as it's just becoming a pain to edit. I kinda wish I could just say "make it like this" and it'd magically be done the way I want it.

It's kind of amusing to me that hours upon hours upon hours of work can result in one minute of completed footage. On the other hand, if that minute's being watched hundreds of thousands of times, that would make it worth it, right?

I don't really know why I'm posting this, I just need to vent in public and a blog seems like the place for emo ramblings. :D

Whine whine, moan moan, ok I'm done. Back to work.

...maybe after lunch.

Hopefully you'll get the energy to finish the video. I had the same thing that Shinja had.. I realised that I did something terribly wrong, but your videos have helped me a lot. Thanks for that. I check your website and blog 2-3 times a day, hoping for some update. (It's been a while since the last update on your website :p)

And by the way, do you read your ma.sword e-mail? Because I've sent you 2 posts and was wishing if you could answer to them.. ;)

Good luck, we are all awaiting ISAP2! Any kind on information of it would be nice.

Go hard Evertras! I do admit i was a pretty terrible mage before i stumbled across your video, "i suck at pvp". After i watched it, i went to your website and i had a look at your other videos too, after having seen them all and taking note of a few points, i started playing my mage again and pretty quickly picked up on most of the basic principles outlined in your videos. Thinking more about my fights and taking note of what is going on around me, my game has since improved drastically.

Your videos have definitely made an impact in the mage community and im sure i suck at pvp 2 will too. Keep working on it Evertras! we're all looking forward to watching it! :D

Keep it up! I'm really looking forward to "I Suck at PvP 2", checking your website at least once every 2 days (and I know some other people who are waiting for it 2)

So, if you got 12 minutes of it done, how long do you expect it to be all in all?

Yup, I suck at PvP is great, I actually learned a few things from it for my mage. I can't wait for the next video; hopefully you'll be inspired by something to finish it. :)
