Note: Reading the below rant is completely optional. I needed to write this to relieve my stress since I have noone irl to talk to about it.
TL;DR: This meme was a pain in the *ss to make.
Step by step process on making this 12 second meme video:
1. Go into a local match and record some scenery,
2. Go into my character customisation menu and find a decent guy for the meme, take a screenshot of him,
3. Launch paintdotnet and manually trace out my character (10 mins),
4. Launch my video editing software and place the files together,
5. Go to youtube and find a video of the Mordhau plain voicelines. Watch through the whole thing until I find the crows line (4 mins),
6. Put that in,
7. Find a decent bird seed pile PNG and put it into my video. None exist. I grab a JPEG and trace it out (5 mins),
8. Get a green screen crow. Learn how to green screen. I struggle, it’s hard. Eventually I figure it out. (1 hour)
9. Find a crow sound effect and put it in (3 mins)
10. Finishing touches
11. The meme is finally done after 2.5 hours of fumbling around with the program, learning how to use it in the process.
12. Try to post it on Reddit. f**king site won’t let me upload it for some reason.
13. I decide to type this obituary of mine out while it struggles to upload.
14. What+why the f**k isn’t it working. (stress level 198)
15. I relaunch my editing program and decide to rerender it as a lower quality video
16. Whilst doing that, the video upload decides to finally work so I’ve been wasting my time.
Things I’ve learnt from this:
Content creation is shit
I’m stupid and loving enough to waste 2.5 hours of my life making a dumb meme for my favourite video game simply because I enjoy playing it.
