Video: 
This Christmas, it’s Jeff who sent out an important letter with a promise for the Overwatch community.
I keep pushing my PC and Video Deluxe to their limits with these videos. The thousands of just a few frame long video and sound snippets made the programme react extremely slowly, just using ctrl z took 40 seconds each time. It was really a pain working like this. Additionally, after the fun part of writing the script with the visuals and lyrics is done, there’s just hours upon hours of putting Jeff’s words together, autotuning them and then adjusting the visual Jeff to the changed audio. It’s very monotone and repetitive work that requires a lot of concentration but the thought of the finished video made me keep going. Maybe it wouldn’t be such an issue if I didn’t have to rush an event video for once.
This video was once again way too close to being finished too late. The plan was to start working on it early in November and to release a lot of videos before the year ends, but the channel revolution that is still not completely finished took months instead of weeks and since October I’ve been very busy with RL stuff.
Now that the RL stuff is mostly solved and the channel revolution almost done, I will start releasing videos a lot more frequently very soon. There’s a lot to come, from continuations of existing series to miscellaneous videos and new series.
Also, there is unfortunately no event intro this time. I’ve already prepared a pixelated snow animation for the new intro but unfortunately I can’t properly put it in Video Deluxe because it’s not at all suited for extremely low resolution and fps editing and rendering. More on that later.
There’s only one thing left to say: All I want for Christmas is time. And sleep.
