AMD Geode/Video 1

See the parent article for details about what's happening in the video.

Footage was shot with my Pentax K-5 from November 21 2021 through November 30 2021.

Editing was done with Kdenlive 19.12 from December 2021 through February 2022.

(That's assuming I finish this month.)

Because of prolonged production time I'm going to release what I have recorded so far as part 1 before I start with part 2.

Mistakes
Overall I made the following mistakes during production:
 * I didn't write a script
 * I didn't film any usable B-roll
 * I didn't make any kind of time for interjections
 * There's no soft transitioning between scenes
 * I didn't lock exposure on a bunch of clips
 * I didn't white balance clips properly
 * I didn't know what type of clips I needed in advance
 * I didn't even know what type of video I was making

Achievements
As a counter to mistakes, here's some things I did do well:


 * I filmed enough stuff to get the video done
 * The video doesn't require a technical background to understand
 * Listening doesn't lose important details

Workflow
By the end of production my workflow looked like this:

Most of the time and hesitancy of editing goes in to me not wanting to do the voice-over.
 * 1) Insert clips in to rough order and length
 * 2) Record voice-over in Audacity
 * 3) Match the audio up with the clips
 * 4) Tighten the timings a bit until things feel more natural
