Getting to know the new camera

AkBKukU post Getting to know the new camera from patreon

The production workflow on the new camera is very different and I'm having to make some adjustments to get started with it.

Yesterday I changed my shooting setup to have that monitor above my work surface as my reference display. In the past I've used my right monitor(you can see it in quite a few videos) but the new cam...

4k Test footage

AkBKukU post 4k Test footage from patreon

I've got the camera!

Here are the first things I shot with it. The processing is very extreme with this camera compared to my DSLR so not everything is perfect on this first run in editing. I'm getting the hang of it though. I was able to set Resolve to quarter resolution proxy and edit on my 2GB GTX 960 with "okay" perfo...

November 2018 Behind the Scenes

AkBKukU post November 2018 Behind the Scenes from patreon

This was supposed to go out yesterday but I had some delays.

So funny story about ordering the camera. It was supposed to be a pre-order where they don't charge me until they are ready to ship it. This camera is currently very desirable and people have been pre-ordering it for months. When I placed the order last night, ...

Commodore 5141 Floppy Drive Repair - pt 1

AkBKukU post Commodore 5141 Floppy Drive Repair - pt 1 from patreon

I'm not really happy with this video, but it killed four days to get it recorded and edited and was over 3hrs of footage for just this part so I got to a point in the video where I just needed to stop. It's late due to the problems encountered I covered in the video making it take much longer than I thought and I had some editin...

Commentary: Canon TP-8 Palm Printer Calculator Refurb

This time I did it a bit differently, you;ll need to start the audio track and the video at the same time.

Some people wanted to be able to pause or go back to a segment and it was almost impossible before. So now you can because the start time is the same for both meaning as long as you seek to the same time on both it ...

Commentary: IBM 5153 CGA Monitor Simple Recap

I'm thinking something like this could be a perk for backing at a higher tier. But I'd like to get feedback from everyone on this concept first. I imagine most people wouldn't want to re-watch every video again for the commentary. But maybe if there was a particular video that you were curious about you could and then I would ha...

AkBKukU post Patron Exclusive: Behind the Scenes and Some Thoughts on the Channel from patreon

This is just something I really felt like making today.  

I want to re-word off camera what I mean about physical rewards for  patreon tiers. As someone with an engineering mindset I see resources  being sent and received in that transaction. But I see a one time resource being sent and an unlimited resourc...

Upcoming Video: Canon TP-8

AkBKukU post Upcoming Video: Canon TP-8 from patreon

I want to try something new because it seems like I miss some really obvious stuff when doing research on videos. This is not a replacement for me to do research. I try my best to become as knowledgeable as possible/reasonable for every video I do. It's just sometimes I miss something that seems easy for some people find. So I'm...

Dual Monitors on an IBM 5150

AkBKukU post Dual Monitors on an IBM 5150 from patreon

I want to apologize for the lack of videos recently. I had to go out of town to help some family move and caught something that left me sick enough I couldn't record videos.

I'm back in full swing now though. I already have another video recorded(the recap mention in this one) and that will be coming along soon.

I've sw...

The video may be a little over processed on this one, I had to edit this on a computer I don't normally use and the monitor isn't quite up to the task of image correction.

I completely forgot to put this up here. I didn't get it done until minutes before it went public. Being behind on videos is getting very tiring.

I'm a good ways into the next one already. My base script is done and I know almost everything I need to do for it. But as a special patron bonus, I'm also making a behind the ...

The website is live with a real link that lets you buy one. The entire site is very much under construction right now so the page is a bit brutalist.

I feel like I don't do enough to show my appreciation for everyone's support here. It really does help with not only resources but it also helps my spirits when feeling low about making videos.
