This one stayed in the oven for way too long, but I hope its to your satisfaction. I really didn't expect it to take this long, but the amount of story I had to cover was way more than I was prepared for. I've never done a video covering a long story before, so it was difficult getting down the pacing (and I still think its kinda bad) but I've learned a lot in those 4 months of work, and Lucent Arrowhead's recap will be much more thorough, and less shit. Again, shoutout to Jacob Moreau for his goated coverage of the collab, and in depth explanation of the lore. It really helped me understand what the hell was happening and I kinda can't unhear his voice for some of the characters.
I know I cut out a lot of stuff, and a lot of it was kind of important too, and that's honestly a result of procrastination and laziness, which I apologize for. I plan to make a behind the scenes video explaining everything that went into making the video, as it had tons of out takes and cut out segments. I realized halfway that some of the stuff I was making was either not funny or just too difficult to fully pursue (especially with my limited art skills). I tried my best when animating these segments, although I took a different approach when animating, as I relied a lot on premiere pro instead of manually animating everything on my phone. Yes, you read that right, I draw on my phone. It still kind of looks good though, I think. However, for the Arknights characters, I really didn't want to trash the characters, so I had a friend help me out, and I think you can tell who drew what. I also had help with some voices, because I feel like you'd get tired of my voice after a while. Shoutout to all my friends for helping me out, credit will be given below to them.
I'm not sure what else I should mention here. I'm about to start playing arknights (as promised) and upload a video on it. Although I won't lie, I don't expect myself to ever play this game again after I finish my coverage on it. I still want to dedicate my time to it because of how much support the Arknights community has given me up to this point, so I feel like I should at leas to the bare minimum and actually play the game. I thank all of you arknights and siege fans for watching and subscribing, reaching this kind of audience is amazing, and I know its probably not going to last, and this video might tank in views because of how long it took me to make, but it has helped me improve my editing and writing style, and I hope to entertain all of you with my future content. Again, thanks to all of you for watching, and for reading this description. Comment Jake Burger Bombs so I know someone got to this point, and I will see you guys, in the next video.
