guys, I am a professional film maker - animation, editing, filming, photoshop, basically all sorts, for 15 years now. I know the ins and outs of EVERYTHING involved in his 'job' doing these hateful vlogs. I thought I would put together a short summary of his process. Pardon if some of this is basic. These are generous estimates.
(20mins) - Collating footage from his camera, the stupid go pro and any other devices, and downloading to computer.
(1 hour) - cutting together of the clips (bearing in mind that he himself shot them only hours before) would take prob max 1 hour. It is really only time consuming/difficult if editor and camera person are different. He (shouldn't need to) liase with himself over what footage was shot that day, and what the desired 'storyline' is. I can tell that he does to some extent plan his content during the day as he does those stupid palm-to-lens moments and generally is aware of the camera and filming key moments during the day.
-The only taxing thing regarding editing would be avoiding all the contradictions and evidence of bad parenting, and other things they want to keep a secret from their audience. But surely he would just be not filming those moments.
(40mins) - Adding the music on top / doing the sound mix (blending nicely between audio from the footage itself and the music he adds) could probably take an hour max. I think he does a reasonably good job at this compared to other vlogs.
(30mins) - checking back over the vlog - watching it a couple of times through at least. Subsequent ammends from that.
Total time - a generous 2.5 hours. I see no reason that he should be sitting at his computer until 5am every night. The title sequence is pre made. It isn't a work of art, it requires no deep thought or profound input.
I imagine much of his time is spent:
- reviewing and replaying footage of himself talking like a faux gangster and pulling 'cool'faces as he looks to camera. (If you observe him carefully he is really into his own image, he does these eyebrow raises and expressions that he thinks are super attractive when he is on camera.)
- looking at footage he took during the day he had no aim of ever adding to the vlog.
- wanking
- watching god knows what on the internet (related to wanking)
Looking at him makes me feel physically unclean.
