The Applejack Problem - preview

This video is a HOT MESS, I recorded it while sick the day before I knew I was leaving town, so it features such problems as:

  • Horrible congestion

  • Me literally getting tired and taking a nap about halfway through recording, so at one point after a cut the sun has changed position and is shining directly into my blinds

  • (This is the worst one.) My electric blanket being on under my quilt, with the laptop my sound was routing through resting on it, producing a crackling noise. I'm a huge sound purist so this really bothers me but isn't really fixable in post.

To be honest I kind of debated whether to go forward with editing this at all or whether I should just throw it out, because the premise is odd, and the raw footage I had was in my opinion so poor. But since I've already lost a week of time by being out of town, with this the only thing on-hand to edit, I sort of figured a video is better than no video.

At this point it's mostly edited so I'll probably release it? But anyway, hopefully this will tide you guys over until I fly home in two days - at which point I'll be shooting a ramble to post up.

Edit to add: My next two planned videos are The Top 10 Worst Reasons You Hated The Last Jedi (somebody on twitter guessed this correctly), and tentatively a Rey and Kylo skit.

For anyone staying at the Seralago Hotel in Kissimmee, be mindful of the racoons and feral cats.

OMG I love it, can the token dude characters be the school bullies that become the main villains for season one. One is an outgoing jock stereotype (but like a magic jock or something) and the other will be his best friend who is super broody. They're both super ineffectual and all the conflict they cause is purely accidental; until the hour-long musical season finale where they summon some great evil during their first song (they get two songs one dubstepy and the other vaguely early nineties pseudo-indie).

Well, she was "the boss" in the 8 main heroine tropes: the boss, the seductress, the free spirit, the waif, the librarian, the spunky kid, the crusader and the nurturer. So I guess next time they could make her the spunky kid or the seductress.
