2024 logistical edit: Finale in Song, main season

Comprised of footage and audio from: August 24th; September 8th, 21st, 22nd, 28th; October 5th, 6th. Despite using footage intended for cinematic edits, this edit is pieced together not with an eye for drama or cinematography, or even storytelling; rather, with an eye for that which is indicative of the overall or “average” version of the show. Remind me to go into the behind-the-scenes of editing this one sometime, 'cause I'm really proud of it.

Video update

Though I thought myself truthful when promising to begin screening and posting my videos right away, I quickly realized that I would prefer to first make available an example of each main-season plotline show for those who could not attend, or could only attend Halloween. Because, of course, the order I filmed things in is not indicative of the order the shows take place within a given day.

But the thing about plot-show stages is that they're big; and the thing about the blocking and choreography of the 2024 season is that it took no prisoners when it came to making full use of that space; and the thing about my camera is that I can't point it everywhere at once. Therefore, I have spent the past two weeks putting together what I have dubbed “logistical edits” of the main-season plot shows.

These edits are pieced together not with an eye for drama or cinematography, or even storytelling; rather, with an eye for that which is indicative of the overall or “average” version of the show. Replacing early-installment weirdness with later-season norms; swapping out footage (and occasionally audio) when something is flubbed or disrupted; scavenging my plethora of character-focused zoomed-in footage to isolate the rare moments when I pointed the camera at the whole of the action: that sort of thing. (Also dispensing with as much motion-sickness fodder as possible.)

I have finished everything at this point except for Ultimate Joust, which I've determined what parts shall come from what video, and Finale in Song, which I've barely even considered. I hope to have them done by the end of this week, and shall post them as soon as I may.
