RKI Channel Progress Update

Just thought I'd drop by and leave a little progress update since it's been about two weeks now since the last video.

I'm working on everything at once. But it will be a little bit longer unfortunately.

I've filmed the RKI Radio Theatre episodes and am QUITE pleased with these early efforts, it's something I see lots of potential with in the future to have fun with. I filmed about 52 episodes worth in one night so they'll be GREAT output boosters. I've just got to edit the footage down into the individual episodes, which still takes a bit of time. Mostly because I'm still shaping the series as I'm doing so. The next batch will go a bit faster because I won't have to make intros and outros and the like. I'm REALLY looking forward to posting these.

Collecting Game is in the can, and just requires editing. I need to get some quick gameplay footage to add but mostly it'll take some editing.

I've also filmed 7 episodes of Rantin & Raven. Unfortunately, this is what's slowing me down. As I was editing the episodes today, I realized... They're just TERRIBLE. Once again I'm reminded that speaking is not my forte. The footage is just chock full of pauses (not a terrible problem) and overused words. (a HUGE problem) The introduction episode turned out well enough, but I just was not happy with the following episode. I didn't do justice to the topic. At all. I'm a writer for a reason, it's how my mind focuses and works best. So, because I want to produce the best material possible for you, I'm jettisoning the original unscripted approach and moving over to a scripted series. (This is not abnormal for me, as stated in the episodes, I played Mega Man X 8 times trying to figure out a way to approach the whole thing.) This will delay things a bit, but will result in something FAR more watchable in the end. I'll begin working on scripts after posting this. These will still be produced quicker than Game Knight episodes but it's frustrating to be slowed down. But again, such is the nature of forming a new idea. You gotta do things wrong before you can do them right.

Game Knight will begin filming soon. No other updates there. The main problem is I must work on these at night to reduce environmental sound. Everything else I can work on in the daytime.

Speaking of sound... guys... really... The terrible sound in the Game Knight episodes? Yeah, gone. I can't tell you how happy I am with the new sound. Huzzah for knowing your equipment better! So, another part I'm excited to share.

So, I've got a ton of cool stuff coming. I just want to get a good backlog before I begin posting them again so we don't have these long hiatuses in the future. I'm trying to get a rhythm going where I have stuff to post WHILE working on the behind the scenes stuff. But that of course means working on a ton right now and holding onto it for a bit.

But rest assured, when the RKI Channel returns, it'll be bigger and better than ever!
