Does anyone remember on my icarus cover i posted like a quarter of the year ago where i said i was "working on another ambitious video" or whatever yeah this was that video

not saying that vid making in blender is what killed me but not NOT saying it either

that's a lil unfair to say; ive just been swamped totally with other stuff (keep reading for sneak peeks if you're interested) and i already struggled so much with how clunky video editing is in blender that i kept putting it off because it was easy to not do it! but i saw that circus was going to do some announcement relating to CMYK and i just told myself to cut corners and finish this thing, and so i did! and im proud of myself for that. i forgot how much i loved doing this to be honest

i keep forgetting that this is technically my first real, full, non-joke cover i've released using kevin. he's a lot of fun!! im def gonna use him again. oh my god, i also just remembered that this is the first cover i stopped note-bending and used pitch-bending instead to tune. Icarus was also pitch-bended, but this technically came first

for the mix and master... yeah i've learned from my mistakes. i could have gone back and redone it but i just wanted this to be out so!! i think it could be worse, it's just a little quiet. shoutouts to my friends for givin me advice tho i learned a lot from that

for the art, i really wanted to go with that papercraft look. i know that circus and rice prob didn't do that for the og Center Stage vid bc Puzzle was holding the monopoly on that aesthetic, but i wanted to take a crack at it for this song, esp bc i wanted to do....

puppetry in blender........... ummmm idk why the moving polygons are flashing like that????? but the whole thing did turn out looking better than i thought i suppose. will NOT be doing regular subtitling in blender ever again tho. i hated every second of that, and really gave up near the end and used vegas pro instead. the only reason i did it in blender was for that shadow effect, which is also something im not gonna do again in the near future i think. the weirdness with the lighting is what lead to the flashing, and i think just working with emissions is a lot easier when it comes to color matching

ive got a new cover fully mixed (it's been fully mixed for a month or so) but i have not learned my lesson bc i still want to do a blender video apparently. hopefully i will do it better this time and faster but no promises!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
