angles and hopefully it will work
out. It’s something that’s never
been done in a battle before. I
don’t want to really give it away,
but we’re trying this insane new
camera move that will be going
throughout the entire battle but
it won’t block anybody’s view
of the battle. Nelson and I are
really excited about it.
that you see aren’t even really
doing that; they’re still in 2K.
So we’re filming at resolutions
higher than most feature films
are and uploading it to YouTube.
First you’ve got to do the audio
editing, then you do color
grading, then you do graphics,
and then you render it, export it,
compress it, then upload.
Evan: Tell the fans just how long
it takes to edit a battle. I feel like a
lot of people don’t understand that
it’s a lengthy process.
Evan: So all in all, how long does
it take?
Avocado: I’m glad you said
that because I feel like a lot of
people don’t really realize how
much actual work goes into the
process of postproduction. We’re
filming in 4K. Feature films
Avocado: For a whole event it
takes a long time. I don’t edit
them all at once, I do them as
I go. For example, for “The
Saurus vs. Charron”, editing
probably takes me an hour,
rendering takes two hours, and
that’s in 4K. That’s amazing. On
my old box, it used to take me
like three days to render out a
battle in 4K. Then you have to
compress it, which takes about
two hours.
The uploading is the slowest
part. The uploading takes about
four hours, and then you have
to wait for it to process. So allin-all, to get a battle online it
takes about a weekend of work.
And then you have to babysit it
while it’s compressing, because
sometimes it fails. It’s almost
a full-time job. I know some
people who do this for a living.
I don’t. I work in visual effects
for a living. I work 13-hour days
and I come home and edit until
like two in the morning.
