Video Not Working? Fix It Now

With three decades of gaming under my belt, the moment has finally arrived: My Top 10 Favorite Video Games of All Time. Act shocked — I’m going to use this description space to ACTUALLY describe what went into this video — which was a lot. CAPTURE PROCESS: The vast majority of video-game footage that you see here — about 99% — I decided to capture myself. As some of these titles are a bit older, I COULD have sought out sharper-looking versions, and in most cases… I did not do that… Just to make YOU mad. The process definitely took some time — a month or two — where I just recorded these games on my off-time, and that’s AFTER I had taken the time to really narrow down and organize the list to 10. Overall, a time-consuming but outrageously fun time. EDITING: Here’s where the REAL challenge came in. For those of you who don’t know, I’m a full-time video editor, and sometimes the last thing I want to do when I get home from work is open up Final Cut and go nuts. So that was the first obstacle. Apart from being the longest video I’ve made for this channel, which I knew, going in, was going to be a lengthy editing process, each numbered entry had to have its own style in a way. You can’t really edit something like Dark Souls the same as Super Mario Sunshine. As a result, I had to keep experimenting with styles that really highlighted each game’s vibe. FUN FACTS: No. 8 really gave me the resources to be more cinematic with the edit. So much so that I was able to rebuild one of the game’s original trailers using my OWN footage — which was a blast. No. 7 allowed me to pay homage to one of my favorite video-game reviews of all time — a true inspiration for my current career. No. 4 has a direct quote from a Gametrailers.com retrospective, referenced in my script, that I also took a TON of inspiration from growing up in regards to editing style and pacing. CONCLUSION: Overall, it was just a wildly time-consuming process from beginning to end…all of it done on my off-time. That said, out of all of the videos I’ve made, I think I might be most proud of this one, so thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed it. - Daniel TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction 00:46 No. 10 03:06 No. 9 04:44 No. 8 07:30 No. 7 09:18 No. 6 12:56 No. 5 14:36 No. 4 20:14 No. 3 23:14 No. 2 25:58 No. 1
