I too am a video maker. Full amateur to be fair. I used to make tons of vids. Played with all kinds of styles. Never really got as far as color correction. My style has always been raw. I certainly know the under realized grind you speak of. I dont get too finicky any more…but i used to. For a while i was doing a lot of my sketch comedy ideas here on vid. It’s been a while since I’ve made one though. last year I’ve just been busy AF. But recently got free and so hope to get back to experimenting.
The brain is funny though…i have this self imposed guilt or hesitation feeling…like before i make anything new i need to clear out all these unfinished ideas eating up space on my hard drive. I keep threatening in my own brain to just do a bunch of raw video releases just to clear stuff out. But self flagellation hasn’t led to anything yet 😜
I use lumafusion to edit. i love the physical manipulation of it. all my edits are done with my fingers on the screen… some how it feels more real. i tried some other editing tools but i get lost in the drop downs and i just want to touch it and go. im just impatient. give me ease or give me death.
