Journey to South Africa - Documentary (And update)
Added 2017-07-16 00:31:56 +0000 UTCHey everyone I doubt anybody gives a crap but if you're interested I'm posting this here. Here is the reason why this week was tough for Normies content. Today was the premiere of my documentary that I filmed whilst in South Africa about exactly 1 year ago today. The screening went well and I am happy to say people enjoyed it! I worked really hard on this and I feel the message is important so I wanted to share.
The Youth Fellows in the video graduated today and presented their final projects they developed throughout their time spent in SA (seen in this documentary)
The footage was over 670GB, shot entirely on my Panasonic GH4 (Which I have since given to Nahid for Chicago reactions) and a little bit of footage from my old Canon Mark II. I edited it entirely in Premiere Pro and honestly can't count how many hours was spent on it. The render itself took 7-8 hours each time and I kept receiving revisions from In retrospect I should have probably charged my client a lot more than what I got for the amount of work I put in, but in the end...I got to go to freakin South Africa!
So here it is. My documentary. Filmed, edited, and directed by myself. I chose the music. There was no script. It was entirely put together using the Youth Fellows' testimonials at the end of each of their days.
Nahid is picking up One Punch Man and American Gods from this weekend to take some load off me so I can focus solely on Avatar and Game of Thrones during the week. Thanks so much for all your patience, your continued support, your comments, your love, your criticisms and and even some of the complaints. It pushes us to go harder and once we are 'there' you guys will know. We'll be in touch. Thanks!
Feel free to share this around this is my first time sharing it online. Now that it has premiered I can show everyone.

I was wondering how I never discovered this but then I realized I actually became a patron after this. So that makes sense. lol

2017-07-16 07:28:53 +0000 UTCI remember hearing about what happened to Amy Biehl. I know her father ultimately forgave the men who murdered her but I never could have. Monsters.

2017-07-16 02:06:54 +0000 UTCHave you guys ever considered hiring some one to help with editing? Blindwave has a few which has put a lot of load off the main crew to do more and make more content. Anyways good work on the Doc Nahid and thanks for all the content you all produce for us fans.
