Week 60: work on animations (Patreon)

I spent the whole week working on the video. It took me one day or so to finish adjusting the assets and their logic. The rest of the week was spent animating and creating the actual video. That was truly exhausting. Partly, it’s due to the tools I am using: none. Well, it’s all software coded by myself and certain aspects are excruciatingly painful to deal with. The top pain point is timing the animations, in particular coordinating between the physics time and presentation time. I end up tolerating the deficiencies of the tools (rather than improving them) because I find myself under pressure to deliver. But then it takes ages to do things that should take little or no time 🙁

Anyway, I managed to finish most of the content for the video. I think I even found a suitable music track. But it’s not fully there yet. I need to create a thumbnail, adjust the video further and sync it with the music, if necessary. I hope I can do this tomorrow, but it is now possible that it’ll all happen after Christmas. By the way, I wish a Merry Christmas to those of you that celebrate it. I’ll take a couple of weeks off myself. See you in January.
