1. 0:00That's me, distracted, postponing the
2. 0:02one edit that's been on my to-do list
3. 0:04for days. And the deadline? Well,
4. 0:06tomorrow. Which is kind of a problem
5. 0:09because tomorrow I'm also flying to
6. 0:11Barcelona. So, that leaves me with
7. 0:13exactly 3 hours in the plane.
8. 0:18Now, you might wonder what edit is worth
9. 0:22all this stress. So, I host an editing
10. 0:24challenge every single month and every
11. 0:26month I'm always a little bit jealous of
12. 0:29the people that participate. So, this
13. 0:31time I'm going to join my own challenge
14. 0:33under a fake name. And my flight boards
15. 0:36in half an hour. I can still download
16. 0:37some footage because there's no Wi-Fi.
17. 0:39Why did I do this again? I don't know.
18. 0:41All right, I really need to go to the
19. 0:42gate, but I downloaded a few models, so
20. 0:45I hope they're enough.
21. 0:47Just need to go with this. Here's the
22. 0:49real problem. Members have watched me
23. 0:51edit for years. They know my style, my
24. 0:53transitions, my pacing. So, if I use my
25. 0:55own style, I'm cooked. So, not only do I
26. 0:58have to win, I have to win while editing
27. 1:00like a complete stranger. And I'll be
28. 1:02honest with you, I need to win this
29. 1:04because win or lose, I'm telling the
30. 1:06community it was me. And if the guy who
31. 1:08runs the challenge loses his own
32. 1:10challenge, it looks kind of stupid,
33. 1:12right? Let's board the plane. Once I sat
34. 1:14my ass down in the plane, I directly
35. 1:16went to work. 5 minutes in and I hear
36. 1:18this.
37. 1:19>> Good afternoon, dear passengers. I have
38. 1:20a very good morning from flight 831. We
39. 1:22have to wait
40. 1:23about
41. 1:2445 minutes before we get started again.
42. 1:26>> Normally I would absolutely hate hearing
43. 1:28that there is a delay, but this is the
44. 1:31first and probably the last time I
45. 1:32actually enjoyed the sweet words of 40
46. 1:35extra minutes in the plane. But then,
47. 1:37plot twist, they found a spot for us to
48. 1:40still go. So, I had to close my laptop
49. 1:42for the takeoff. A much-needed hydration
50. 1:45break and we're off again, literally. I
51. 1:48was struggling a lot. Not only my
52. 1:50trackpad, but also my keyboard. You see,
53. 1:53I've got a lot of shortcuts set up on my
54. 1:55numpad, which this keyboard doesn't have
55. 1:58and I completely forgot about that. And
56. 2:00this editing challenge was extra
57. 2:02difficult for a specific reason because
58. 2:04it was a fern 3D documentary style
59. 2:06editing challenge. Let's see what I
60. 2:08think of this while being in a tiny ass
61. 2:10airplane toilet. All right, I'm making
62. 2:12progress, but
63. 2:14I don't think I'm going to make it. Or
64. 2:16maybe at least two scenes, that would be
65. 2:18amazing. The thing I'm struggling with
66. 2:20the most now is that is in Blender.
67. 2:23Normal editing challenges are in After
68. 2:25Effects or Premiere Pro,
69. 2:27but this one is in Blender and I'm
70. 2:28struggling and my laptop is too.
71. 2:31>> I was flying. Get it? Flying. But then a
72. 2:35crash and another and another one. But I
73. 2:37finished the first scene and quickly
74. 2:39went on to the next one until a much
75. 2:42needed breakfast break came by.
76. 2:51>> I'm not the best at Blender, but
77. 2:53I hope that my story telling in my city
78. 2:56of dark people will help me with this to
79. 2:58at least make the scene look nice.
80. 3:00>> I added some animation to the camera,
81. 3:02moved the models around, I changed the
82. 3:04materials and set up the render
83. 3:06settings.
84. 3:07>> For landing. For landing and I got this
85. 3:10scene and this other scene already done.
86. 3:12>> The only thing that was left was the
87. 3:13render itself, which I'll do when I
88. 3:15land. Is that unfair? I don't know. I'm
89. 3:17setting the rules anyway. By this time,
90. 3:19I didn't really know if this was good
91. 3:21enough. I didn't know who was going to
92. 3:22participate. I of course also didn't
93. 3:24know what they were going to come with
94. 3:26and a lot of members in the community
95. 3:28are getting so good. I finally felt what
96. 3:30others feel when they're participating
97. 3:32in this editing challenge. A mix of fear
98. 3:35and excitement. And then we landed.
99. 3:42>> Just got off the plane and I think I
100. 3:45finished two scenes. I need to render
101. 3:47them and look at them, which should be
102. 3:48enough to participate in the editing
103. 3:51challenge.
104. 3:51>> Plot twist, Ronald is me.
105. 3:52>> I participated under Ronald because I
106. 3:54was like uh why not?
107. 3:56No way. No way. Inception part two.
108. 4:00So there was no risk of losing. No, I'm
109. 4:02sorry Axel. Kept you on on edge the
110. 4:05whole time. If you want to see the end
111. 4:07result, click in the top right. That
112. 4:08will lead to the editing challenge.
113. 4:10Don't forget to subscribe and I'll see
114. 4:12you in the next one. Bye-bye.
