Editing The Pen Addict 257/transcript (section)

== Kickstarter Video ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, let's talk about that one very awesome thing that we should lead the show with that people have been waiting for, so why don't you spill those beans?

'''Myke Hurley:''' We've been talking about it for a couple of weeks, but we can now confirm that the Kickstarter video is complete of episode 253. So if you backed the show, you backed the Kickstarter campaign, maybe before you've even heard this episode, you will have received an email with a link and a password for you to go and watch episode 253. From a video production standpoint, it is the best quality video that we've had put together, and Mark and Stephen did an incredible job. Just the cameras are way better, so like technically, but just from a production perspective, it's way more engaging visually to watch than it's ever been before, and I think they did a fantastic job. We've both watched it, we're both really happy with it, and it will be in your inboxes very, very soon. So check your email or check your messages on Kickstarter, and you'll get the links that you need.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So I was really impressed with everything that you just said, how the technical editing and camera work turned out, plus the clarity. I mean, it's really sharp. Yeah, it looks great. All the cut-ins of the products we were talking about, they did a phenomenal job. I was grinning from ear to ear just seeing all those things, all the parts where we weren't necessarily talking, but where the other things were coming in and getting cut in. It was fantastic. They did a great job. I can't wait for everyone to see this. It was totally fresh, even though I was there and I re-listened to the podcast. I couldn't take my eyes off the video the whole time. It was that good.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It was fun for me to watch back because I realized, I think I blacked out during the show. I don't remember anything that happened. It just happens to me a lot with live shows, especially, because there's so much happening and so many things that I'm trying to focus on, right? Like making sure the show's running, having stuff to say, making sure it's recording, making sure everybody's okay in the audience, right? Like it's such a massive difference to me just sitting here on my own in Meg or office recording, right? Like I was watching, I was like, I don't even remember talking about this. So it was a lot of fun.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And I just fidget the whole time. Like I can't sit still. You even had to stop me one time.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I don't think, I think they ended up cutting away from it in the video, like I told them about it. But there's one point in the show where Brad keeps like putting his hands down on the table and the table's creaking. And I'm worried that like he's gonna, he's gonna like, it's gonna come through in the audio. So like I'm tapping him and stuff, but he's not noticing. Like I keep doing it a couple of times. And then at one point, like Anna's talking. I'm like, great. They could show her on the video right now. And I like elbow you. And I'm like, quit it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So in the video part, that wasn't in there, except they cut back wide right when you pulled back from that. And I think you can see like a little acknowledgement in my head. So there you can see that part in there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Now you know we did it. You can find it. That's awesome.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So you were, you were coming back from leaning over 10 hitting me. And I think it finally clicked with me at that point.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But yeah, it was great. It was awesome. And Vito and Jonathan did such a good job.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, they really did. Right. They really did. Yeah. That's what I think I was most impressed about. It's just watching it back. Like you felt that way at the time, but watching it back, like they really, really nailed it. So if you backed the Kickstarter, you'll get the video. If you didn't, just listen to the episode again, if you feel nostalgic for it, you know? Yeah. Yeah.
