Back to recording and testing out widescreen uploading

Well finally home again so I can record game footage which is good since the internet connection makes uploading longer and more tedious and also forces me to upload smaller file sizes just to get it to work.

I finished making a widescreen video test which will be up some time today depending on how long my internet wants to take with uploading it.  I know I did upload it before, but the widescreen part failed, however, I think I figured out what I did wrong so I'm gonna try uploading it again.

I also finished recording the Lucky Egg sidequest, the last thing I wanted to record for Pokemon XD before my new Lets Play starts.  That's gonna require a bit more editing so I would give it till Monday for me to upload that.

So depending how I feel, I might actually record the first video for my new Lets Play tonight.  Can't believe I'm finally gonna do this.  Well see you guys later.

Video Plans Before my next Lets Play

Hey guys!  Like I said here's what I know so far about my LP schedule and that till the start of my next Lets Play.

Anyways right now I only have one more Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness video before I'm completely out of Pokemon XD related footage.  This means I'll posting that on Friday, and I won't be uploading any Lets Play related videos the week after that which works out fine because it's exam week anyways and I should be focusing on those anyways.

The week after that I have completely off from school so I should have a bit of time to actually record footage for my next Lets Play and finish up footage for Pokemon XD.  This basically just means showing the last side quest of the game and perhaps the extended ending of the game depending how I feel.

Now I know I said I would be covering Mt. Battle, but truth be told, with my next Lets Play coming up I just don't have the time to cover it, so I would rather focus on starting to record my next Lets Play instead so I actually have enough footage so I can make enough videos to upload 3X a week for the 2 weeks I'll be away from home.  I don't think I'm going to abandon covering Mt. Battle all together but I just won't be doing it for a while.  Perhaps when I come home for Holiday Break I'll record Mt. Battle then.

So recap my uploading shedule:
This week: one last Pokemon XD video Friday or Saturday
Next week Nov. 14-20:  No Lets Play videos
Week of Nov. 21-27: Might upload Lucky Egg sidequest video depending on how quickly I get it made.  However, since I'll be home I'll have to upload it as a smaller file which might affect the quality.
Week of Nov. 28- Dec.4:  New Lets Play will begin Tuesday and will hopefully be uploaded at least 3 times a week depending on how much recording I get done at home.  Who knows, maybe I'll even make a revelation video the day before.

So Lets Playing is gonna look pretty light for the next couple weeks but I'll be sure to make up for it when my new Lets Play actually starts.  Not only is it gonna be at least as long as Pokemon XD.  I'm planning on doubling the effort I put into editing.  I already got some bios for bosses and characters made and plan to change my whole video layout so things like Jackit annotations and the bios don't get in the way of the gameplay. I'm also trying to figure out how to upload to YouTube in widescreen so you guys never have to see black bars again.  And so I have a little more room to work in space for character bios.

In the mean time feel free to check out my webcomics.  They're actually the inspiration for the Jackit annotation and various sketches that were in my Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness play-through.  I'll be updating them throughout the next few weeks because unlike my Lets Play I don't have to be at home to make them and I actually stockpiled them. ._.

There's also a special arch I plan to release around the weeks before the Lets Play and who knows, it might give you a hint what that Lets Play is... just a whim. :)
