Fallout 4 Week: Day 7

We did it!  Today is the final installment of my Fallout Week series of videos.

Thank you so much for watching, and so so so SO many thanks to Courtenay and Kal-El for giving me their time and energy.  This day was such a blast, and I still can't quite believe it happened.

Enjoy Part 7 of my video series:

 

 Also major thanks to Adrienne Arno for making it happen, Jarrett Sullivan (aka Boyfriend) for being my DP, and my friend, Jen Gelber for emotional support.

Fallout 4 Week: Day 3

Welcome back to my ENTIRE WEEK of Fallout 4 interview videos.

Here is Part 3 of the week-long (yes a real full 7-day week) video series!

 

Fallout 4 Week: Day 2

Ok, so I still can't quite believe that last week happened.  But it must have happened because I have video proof, right?  Right?  Unless all of this is happening inside my mind and none of this is real and I'm actually in a coma somewhere...

Holy shit, you guys I actually got to interview 2 people who were integral roles of a major AAA video game title.  AND they did so voluntarily.  I didn't pay them or anything.  I swear.  And they sat down with me for like 2 hours!!!  It was amazing.

So here is part 2 of my Fallout 4 Interview: 

 

Fallout 4 Interview: And Her Nerdy Little Heart Grew 3 Sizes That Day...Right Before it Exploded

So an amazing thing happened last week.

An old friend of mine reached out to me and told me she could arrange an interview with Kal-El Bogdanove, the lead vocal director on Fallout 4, AND Courtenay Taylor, the female lead voice actor on Fallout 4.

What?!

No really, WHAT?!

I know, right?

I replied back (trying desperately to sound cool and collected and totally professional) that it sounded great and I would love to as soon as I got back in town (you know, from Wedding Dress Weekend.)

Then I tried to put it out of my mind, because I assumed that like most things I've tried to accomplish in L.A, it would just not work out.

But then it did.

And it was awesome.  It was so awesome that it could not be contained in just one video.  But here is the first installment in my Fallout Week series of videos:

 

Wedding Dress Weekend Day 1: Travel Anxiety and Devil Horses

Last weekend I spent a day on 2 different airplanes (I KNOW) traveling to see my sister in Georgetown.  I discovered something, however.  Even though I was all by myself- no boyfriend, no Leeloo- I found my flying anxiety is improving....I think.

I don't know if it's the Cognitive Behavior skills I've learned, breathing exercises, medication, meditation, or what, but it wasn't as bad flying on that first day.

Don't get me wrong, I was a cranky mess on the way to the airport and in the security line and while boarding the plane.  But, I accidentally discovered a coping method that was surprisingly effective for me.

Since I've been trying to make more videos as of late, I decided to record as much as possible during my trip, including take-offs and landings and flying.  Amazingly, when I watch the plane take off through my camera screen, (while concentrating on keeping it stable for a good quality video,) my anxiety was as close to non-existent as I ever remember feeling it.  It was kind of mind-blowing.  So much so, that when I got home and started editing the videos from traveling on Day 1, I decided to take a different direction with it.  Instead of documenting how nervous I was, I decided to edit in a way to show the peacefulness of travel.  It was a very therapeutic experience.  I tried some new stuff that I hadn't done in other videos, while still adding my ridiculous sense of humor to it as well.

I'm actually quite happy with this video overall.

I'm still getting used to Adobe Premier vs. iMovie, so I'm still making some technical mistakes and boo-boos, but overall, I'm really happy with the way this turned out.  I hope you like it.

 

Oh, and if you're confused about the "Devil Horses" part of the title, you should watch the video.  
It'll make sense.
