A lot of stuff I'll buy from artists on Etsy. That means I have to leave enough time for production and shipping. Some stuff I make myself and that means even more shopping. I made the cyberpunk wire wig for my last vid, but first I spent hours shopping for junk computer parts.

By the time the video is almost done I'm on the threshold of madness. For 10 days my life has been a haze of caffeine, makeup, wigs, lights, editing software, punctuated by 5-hour sleeps & dreams about Premiere Pro. I tweet that the video will be released tomorrow. I'm wrong.

I always think of something else to add. For this last vid, it was the kabuki music for the freedom report. I'd had a vague idea about how to using kabuki earlier and had purchased a library of percussion samples.

At like 5AM one night I tried putting in one of those Nohkan (Japanese flute) samples. Instantly fell in love. Stayed up till 11am editing together little flute and drum pieces to add to the scene as punctuation. Sent it all to Theryn, who created the final audio arrangement.

At a certain point, I realize that if I don't render and upload the video soon, I'm going to spend the rest of the year on it. So it's never perfect. But good enough, I hope. Then obviously the render is flawed or YouTube fucks something up, so that delays things another day.

On release day I edit the thumbnail, write the video metadata, and write posts for all the social media platforms. I publish the vid and read the comments till I pass out. Then it's time to get to work on a new video. I basically have no life for three weeks of the month.

So don't tell me to upload more often lololol. It's not physically possible.

That sounds like heaps of editing work. Please tell me you have automated, off-site backups!
