Hey OSF? Why has it been so long since you've uploaded?
You have so stop procrastinating!
Has it really been that long?
I'm so sorry. I didn't realize...
I've just been really busy with school.
I just found some spare time now so I'm currently making a video.
As you can see...
I'm making another one of those BFB scenes drawn on paper.
It's taking a while. This took around 2 hours, so I hope you understand how long it takes.
So I'm planning to finish this by the end of the year.
Right now it's November 2nd so I barely have 2 months.
So I need to hurry up.
Yeah. That's it...
HELLO! Welcome to my first BTS video.
BTS as in behind the scenes.
Not to be confused with the k-pop boy band group.
This is also my first video with my face in it!
WHOOO face reveal!
I hope I look good enough…
So the reason why I decided to show my face is because I want to do more face-to-face and vlog-style videos.
I want to be more open on this channel.
That’s also why I changed my profile picture.
The face in the profile picture is supposed to be mine, if you couldn’t tell.
I’m going to change my channel name as well.
I’m planning to make more animations about me, kinda like storytime animations.
I’ll gradually transition into that.
Don’t worry, I’ll still be making object show content.
I just want to try out some other stuff!
Alright, now for the main topic of this video:
Let me explain how I make these BFB comics drawn on paper.
So first, I choose a BFB episode, preferably the most recent one.
I then select an appropriate scene from the video to draw.
For this video, I chose the factory scene from BFB 14 because I thought it would be more challenging and interesting to draw.
Next step is, well, I take screenshots of the scene and arrange them like a comic on MS Word.
I then print them out.
As you can see here, I have the printouts with me.
Then, I start the most challenging part - drawing.
I refer to the printouts for measurements and other details while drawing.
I try my best to replicate the scene on paper, without tracing.
I use colour pencils to, well, colour.
When I finally finish drawing and colouring everything, I take pictures of all the drawings and transfer them onto Adobe Premiere Pro.
I then add the audio from the actual episode and finally, I upload it.
I hope that made sense.
I took quite a lot of timelapses throughout the drawing and colouring process in order to show you guys how tedious the work is.
Tedious, TEDious, TEDIOUS!
Each box took around two hours to finish, about one hour each for drawing and colouring.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to record everything for the timelapse.
I was able to record most of it, but not everything.
Also, fun fact: This is the setup I used to record the timelapses.
Since I don’t have a camera or a stand, this is what I used.
It’s basically two stools stacked on top of each other, with one stool bending at an angle facing the drawings.
I don’t have a camera, so I just used a phone to record.
Nevertheless, I hope the quality is still decent.
This was a pretty fun video to make, despite all the work I had to put into into it and how long it took.
I really hope it was worth the wait.
I am now going to be showing the timelapses on screen,
and in order to keep you guys from getting bored, I'm going to be talking in the background
about- basically about why I haven't been uploading and what I've been doing and I'm going to give you kind of like an update on this channel.
So sit back, relax and enjoy!
Alright, I think I owe you guys an explanation because 10 months without an upload is an awfully long time.
I can see the statistics, my channel is slowly dying.
So why haven’t I been posting?
Well, if you saw my last video,
I explained how 10th grade is really important for me and how I need to give school more priority.
Well, there’s still 3 more months left of 10th grade
and since my final exams are fast approaching, I’m going to be busier than ever.
I’ll certainly upload more after the exams.
The entire school year’s been super hectic for me.
I could barely find time to do anything apart from studies.
There was so much homework and so much to study that I’d be exhausted at the end of each day
and I didn’t have the energy to work on other stuff.
I had to take a break from most of my hobbies this year.
The fact that I had like 10 exams every month didn’t help.
I was pretty stressed mostly because of peer pressure and all these exams.
My parents have also made me join a coaching class, which I have to attend on the weekends.
Thus, I need to spend time on that as well, besides school.
I really hope you guys understand that I had no time to make videos that much.
In fact, the only reason I was able to finish this video is because I got a week-long break for Christmas, so I was able to spare some time.
These last three months are like the final stretch of 10th grade,
after which I'll hopefully get a lot more time to invest on my videos and my channel.
Another thing I’d like to mention is that I want to take a little more time to improve the quality of my videos.
I prefer quality over quantity.
I’m constantly trying to improve my content.
I've recently started using Adobe Premiere Pro
and I’m still trying to get familiar with it.
I want to be satisfied with what I put out,
and I can only get that satisfaction if I upload a good quality video for you guys,
something I can be proud of.
I’m definitely going to put more effort into my videos.
So yeah, that’s pretty much it.
2019 has been an uneventful year for my channel.
I’m hoping to make my uploads more consistent in 2020.
Trust me, I have a lot of videos planned and I’m really looking forward to making them.
I post sometimes in the community tab, so you guys can look out for those.
Once again, I’m sorry for not posting more often.
It's just... some things need to be given more priority.
I really appreciate you guys for sticking around and actually caring.
Thank you guys for listening, and I’ll see you next time!
