Närcon Summer is over!

 

Sorry about the late post, but I've had so much video editing to do so I haven't had time for a post.

 

Besides, blogging isn't really my main thing anyway, so it''s just a bonus when I do!

 

It was a great convention overall!

 

I got a personal interview with Felix, Basse and Johan from MonteFjanton Creations (Felix Recenserar, Mystikhörnan, Basses Rätt i Skafferiet) and also recorded their Q&A and the talkshow they had with Cosplayer Yaya Han and Youtuber/Dancer Kelsey Ellison!

 

Speaking of which, I recorded Yaya Han's Q&A session as well as a "How to build a cosplay" session with her!

 

All of those videos are online on my youtube channel now!

 

Sadly, I didn't record a lot of footage with Kelsey as I didn't realize she was there until too late. But I got a little bit of footage with her! Some of her dancing, as well as a little wave to the camera! :D

 

And of course the Cosplay Showcase... It took a day to finish the editing. I am a perfectionst when it comes to the video matching the beat of the song. I want it to suit the song rhythm. And organizing the folders. I had to find every cosplay costume in the mess of files and move them to a cosplay video folder which took a lot of time.

 

Not to mention all the recording. If you include the recording of costumes, this video took me 4 days of active recording and editing to do. But it's up on youtube now and called "Rare Cosplay Showcase" so search it up if you haven't already!

 

I got an interview with a game dev that will be up as soon as I get a song sent to me from their game.

 

Outside of my YouTube channel and it's videos I had a really great time.

 

The conventions before, I have only ran into people I knew from before by accident every now and then, and I also got hurt because of some drama from the past with a person that used to be my best friend but betrayed me really hard... Thankfully, I didn't run into her this year. So I was never really hurt this time.

 

 On the contrary, I got to meet a girl I've been talkin to a bit on facebook and it was fun to have someone to hang with this time and not do everything completely alone! :)

 

I also ran into a really pretty girl while I was recording footage from my cosplay showcase...

 

*swoon, heartbreak, swoon*

 

Won't tell you which one it was though. That's for me to know and for noone to find out! :D

 

Ehrm. Less emotions, more facts!

 

I also went to the A-house to explore the video game rooms. I am not sure if these existed the earlier years as I think they used to be at a tiny room in the key house instead.

 

The A-house was nice, but it felt like the usual LAN-party. In other words bad air and a taint of sweat in the entire air. I didn't spend a lot of time there. When I go to a convention, I do it to record videos and meet new people, not play computer. I can do that at home. If I wanted to focus on that, I'd go to Dreamhack instead! :P

 

They did have a lot of arcade machines and stuff though which is nice for the people who wanted to go there!

 

Overall my experience this year was a good one, and I am almost finished with all my movies from the convention already.

 

Only the game video and my main video left, but I will take a break in the editing before I finish them.

 

I have been editing movies endlessly for days now and also been running around at conventions, and playing Pokémon Go and visited Kolmården Animal Park, went shopping at a market called Skänninge Marken and a lot of stuff so I am completely exhausted.

 

So I have a lot of videos to edit outside of the Närcon ones. And I still haven't edited the Åland video from last summer. That video is going to be either huge or split up into several parts...

 

I also made a bird video and a EverQuest II video the other day so yeah...

 

Right now I don't want to see the editing program or run around anywhere for a few days. My real job starts soon and I need to be rested when it does. Can't run around exhausted while serving food to the customers.

 

If I know myself right though, that editing program will be up any minute again. If not today, maybe tomorrow.

 

I am waiting for that video game music to be sent to me at the moment.

 

Now I am going to relax and gather some transmog in World of Warcraft. Or whatever I decide to do there.

 

Pokémon Go is a nice collecting game. But if you just wanna sit down and collect stuff, WoW is the way to go.

 

Or maybe I should play some Monster Hunter 3 or stream some Mario Maker?

 

Hmmm...

 

Anyways, thanks for reading!

 

Oh, and I updated my Facebook banner so it doesn't look stupid anymore! :D

 

I will update the look of this blog sometime too... It looks awful...
