It was my video and I'll be the first to admit that I made one key mistake that stood out. Usually what I do, yes I've done it before and yes it's on youtube, is take a promotional trailer to an upcoming game that hasn't been released yet. I ended up using this bit from fable 3 because Lionhead did in fact use the opening cinematic of the game as promotional material. In hindsight I should have caught that this looked a lot like Unskipable but unfortunately that was a blind spot. It probably would have been stronger if I had time to use something that looked more like a trailer and less like a game cinematic, which this was both.
So why did I choose Fable 3 if it deviated from my normal format? Well a big part was it was short. I usually write scripts and have research for ten minute shows the five minute limitation changed everything for me. Also, this isn't the best reason but I already had research and a script for Fable 3 before I knew about the film festival. So when I read that it was coming up, on a whim, I slashed down my content, tried to make my most interesting point- to me at least- and submitted it.
Why isn't my production value the same as LoadingReadyRun's? First off Graham and Paul are well established and have a large fan base, which I am part of. I'm not. I have three jobs and have to worry about finishing my degree. All I have to work with is a laptop and a crappy microphone at two in the morning, on an empty stomach.
I had fun though. Thanks for watching it, even if you didn't like it. Thank you to the escapist for putting it up. Thank you to Graham and Paul specifically because I got to be compared to you, even if negatively.
My favorite comment was I had an obnoxious voice. I know. It's my favorite quality.
