Time Lapse Edit of Episode 391

I figured it might be fun to capture an edit of a shorter episode via time lapse for people who enjoy this kind of nonsense, so here we go! Editing Criminally Overlooked Games 6.
Full episode here: • Criminally Overlooked ...

[@Dac_vak]

I don’t think most people understand the insane amount of work it takes to produce high quality videos like this, especially regularly every two (and sometimes one) weeks. This is an awesome look at how the sack is made. Thanks for your hard work, Joe!

[@Stone8age]

Absolutely, editing is one hell of an endeavour. Really helps that Joe is a pro.

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

​@@Stone8ageyea I do some editing but its rudimentary as im on a phone with my channel...nothing like this.

[@gabrieldias3479]

Even crappy, basic, video editing is tough and time consuming already. I've done very few times in my life just to say "nah, video editing isn't for me" LOL I truly admire those who like it! That's to say: yes, you're completely right. Probably most people have no idea how much work one has to put to make videos like Joe does.

[@thisisnotachannel]

And I'll add, ESPECIALLY when Joe blesses us with his stop motion skills... That shit takes FOREVER to set up and execute... this man has been a one man work horse since the beginning!

[@gabrieldias3479]

@@thisisnotachannel YES! Those stop motion... OMG! You can see that Joe is truly passionate about this channel

[@AnalogX64]

This is how the sausage is made, a lot of people think a 10 minute video only takes 10 minutes to make. Thanks for showing us the hard work that goes into making a Game Sack video 💖💖💖

[@DJ_InYourFace]

I highly recommend the two Blu-Rays for more detailed behind-the-scenes stuff. My house burned down and they were the only things I grabbed before running out. Sorry to my daughter.

[@Locomamonk]

🤣🤣🤣

[@carl8s-bit692]

One of the best channels in KZbin. Thank you for the quality and amount of work on your videos!.

[@jamescurrie01]

the commitment this man has to his craft is impressive

[@aaronroberts8601]

That seems like a crazy amount of work you put in. I can't speak for everyone but I for one truly appreciate your hard work to entertain us.

[@rojovision]

Wow I had no idea Game Sack episodes only took 5 minutes to put together. Very impressive. You should be a professional video editor or something with speed like that.

[@ZakkHung]

As being a follower of your show from almost the beginning, I thank you for making something with such excellent content consistently. I'm 48 years old and very much like yourself. I have shared classic games with my 12 year old son to school him properly in the golden age of gaming and continue to game myself to this day. I can have had a really tough day, and this channel always makes me feel better. Thank you for all of your hard work!

[@brandonfletcher370]

You are my favorite gaming channel on KZbin, and I truly appreciate all of the hard work that you do.

[@MSorge13]

As somebody with a recording-studio/audio-recording background, I know the amount of work this takes. Your great efforts are certainly appreciated, Joe! 👍

[@FrankBorst]

Thank you very much Joe for the dedication, regularity and top quality of your content. Not everyone will realize how much time and effort it takes to make an episode. Having breakfast with delicious coffee and watching/catching up on the videos from old to new is a wonderful way to wake up.

[@lemn8]

When finished you ask: hey A.I., you got al this? Next time you do this! 😅. This montage motivates the appreciation for this channel even more!❤

[@Godsgood111]

Wow the amount of work put into this is insane, you clearly are a perfectionist. This makes the bonus episodes even more special. Thank you for your dedication to your subscribers and our passion.

[@dream97]

I enjoy the show. Thanks for that all that hard work that you do. 👍

[@Cyclingismywholelife]

Game sack is the best lullaby, ASMR, and comforting voice to sleep to every night, GS gives me the best sleep I’ve had in years.

[@MiguelPaulettePerez-bj8ml]

Thank you for letting us into the secret world of Sack... it is a bi-weekly holiday in our home. My wife loves it.

[@Godsgood111]

You got a good one.

[@thereviewsbrothers3854]

Love this. I would love a full ‘making of’ episode showing how you choose games, recording footage, script etc. I love a good behind the scenes thing.

[@ians.3316]

I think there's something like that on the blu-rays

[@alejmc]

@@ians.3316I would be looking for that! It’s not clear for me how he ‘blindly’ places the audio first… and then finds his way on the video footage to put it where it should be

[@Nateanderthal]

I appreciate all the effort that goes into editing.

[@jaylin76]

All I can say is that your hard work and effort pay off for every episode you do. I don't want to assume anything, but I'm sure all of your viewers appreciate your dedication to your craft. I'm in awe of what you accomplish, and every episode is a highlight for me. Thank you, and don't ever feel you're not appreciated!

[@Ike11Jay]

Joe, all this makes you the best one man show in the entire world. Each episode is a banger over so many years. Stay safe and thank you so much!

[@ThoughTMusic]

This channel is criminally under subbed. Thanks for all your hard work and I wish you speedy heaps of growth.

[@WiiAgent007]

If the amount of work Joe shows us goes unnoticed ... is it of any loss to those who never get a chance to see his work ethic? Stupid question aside, thank you for giving us a taste of what excellent work ethic and keen eye to detail is needed to edit episodes week in and week out. We appreciate it!

[@run-n-gunfun4606]

That video was the one that got me playing soul blazer , glad I did

[@MoMovies1980]

Thanks Joe! Been a fan for a while!

[@mrmaxaxl]

We are all very grateful for the hard work you put into making these fun and entertaining videos! ❤

[@TronNerd82]

This is an insane amount of work, but it's worth it when we have the amazing videos you give us. We couldn't appreciate your hard work and dedication more, Joe!

[@deftones8717]

God damn! How many hours did it take in total? I tried to count it out by looking at the time in the top-right corner of your pc, but it seemed like there were breaks in between, so I lost track. I do know that it took a sh!t load of time though! Most of us viewers don’t realize just how much work goes into making these videos.. this is definitely a good reminder and makes me appreciate you even more than I already did. You are awesome Joe! Game Sack is definitely the best video game focused channel on KZbin.. Thanks for all of the hard work you dedicate to making quality content. You’re hilarious and just a chill dude, and you’ve given me many laughs and provide an escape for me when life is rough.. there’s nothing better and cozier than relaxing and watching a new game sack episode every Sunday morning, with a fresh cup of coffee. Alright, sorry for the long, mushy rant. You’re the man, Joe!

[@GameSack]

I don't know exactly how long it took, but I did maybe 3 hours per session over 3 or 4 sessions.

[@IvuEvans]

wait a minute! Those parts in yours videos when you zoom in the game and can see the scanlines is actually a filter you apply while editing?! wow i always thought you film your tv screen with some kind of high resolution camera or something! it looks really good! thanks you for your hard work Joe you are one hell of a one man team

[@skillaxxx]

Yeah, there is way more post processing going on than you think, but as others said, that's what it takes to make it look & sound good and natural ...

[@cueball981]

Joe, you are underappreciated to say the least! Huge thank you for what you do! The amount of work you put in is astounding!

[@palebeachbum]

Thank you for your dedication and all that it takes to make your channel possible. I've posted a handful of videos to my channel that are embarrasssingly bad and yet it was still a ton of work. Hours and hours. What you do for your viewers is awesome!

[@steevflores]

Oh, didn’t know the game running on the CRT TV was actually artificially inserted ! Nice.

[@gabrieldias3479]

Hey, Joe, an idea (in case you haven't done already. Maybe you have): how about a video where you describe your usual workflow? Covering topics like: do you make a script before? Do you record the footage for one episode then proceed to the editing process or you record multiple footages for multiple episodes and then you edit everything at once? Do you usually plan the episodes in its entirety (including the comments you make between games and the end skit) or those come later? I'm very into creative process, so if you don't mind sharing, I (and many others, I think) would appreciate it very much!

[@vektravision]

Someone's really going to love this.

[@philosophyoftrucking]

We appreciate the work that goes into these.

[@galfordsdog8784]

"Am I going to be able to understand any of that?" "No. I just wanted you to know how hard it was."

[@willkelmanpenapena3551]

Thanks for all the hard work and great videos Joe

[@DrXJMY]

This is crazy. Thank you for what you do

[@RoadReality]

I always wondered if you were using a green screen to do the living room shots - I had a sneaking suspicion, what with "GAME SACK" being cut off by your head... but this confirms it! The trick with dropping game footage into the TV is slick, BTW. Most people don't know the level of effort it takes to make a high-quality video - well done! Also, I find it really interesting that you color grade your footage - that's an extra step I've dabbled in, but it's a black art that I apparently don't have the knack for, LOL.

[@DoggoneNexus]

Wow that Techno eJay 2 music brings back a lot of memories. :)

[@extremawesomazing]

Thanks for the time lapse. This was cool to see

[@Locomamonk]

dammmnnn Joe, you're a machine!

[@Locomamonk]

Also I'm playing Blaster Master Zero thanks to you!

[@somepoliticalgamer6459]

Dude I already know your editing is in a league of its own. I’m not surprised to see so much going on behind the scenes.

[@alessandrobaggi6129]

Thanks for every Sack episode, Joe 🤗

[@Padoca]

Thats awesome, would love to see a version with your commentary and the thought process thats goes into your editing.

[@disconinja108]

Wow, it took only five minutes for you to edit one episode! You're are so fast as a real pro! Now as we know that making these videos easy as hell for you - we ask you to make an episode per day!

[@seankehoe8658]

this why game sack is in its own league.

[@wullahblack6452]

Ok now do one with every single frame of stop motion animation, including you popping into each shot to move every set piece a millimeter.

[@cactoidpinata]

Wow! This is a really cool look at how you operate, Joe! Do you do all of the editing by yourself?

[@corngames8982]

You work so hard for your fans Joe, and I appreciate it.

[@PaladinGlade]

Now we just need a time-lapse video of you editing the time-lapse edit.

[@ZappahVideo]

It's not just art, it's SCIENCE! It's not just science, it's ART!! Thanks for this behind-the-scenes look, I appreciate it more than you may imagine.

[@dragondavemk7917]

I am nowhere near this level but just doing simple videos (that are you own work) takes time and patience, especially if you are nowhere near professional level. But once the video is done, you not only feel relieved but also a sense of accomplishment, happiness and you are proud of it. Thats the important thing here: Feeling proud of it. I cant even imagine the amount of effort, patience and time needed to do videos like Joe does, even if he is a professional (i remember him saying that he edits videos for a living in a convention some years ago, could be wrong tho). High levels of respect for his work either way.

[@faenethlorhalien]

Fun thing is, the first bit says "Ghost in the Shell", but the bgm sounds a bit like the very starting bit of the 1st opening for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (Inner Universe, it's called). Have to think it's a coincidence but maybe it isn't.

[@Kumimono]

This is actually real time, Joe just has those fancy cyborg hands with bajillion digits we see in Ghost in the Shell.

[@Pikmit]

Nice! It looks quite similar to my yesterday's day. I refreshed some memories from the Atari 2600. ;-)

[@masterofdisaster1633]

Man, what a lot of work. Thanks for sharing

[@beetwing]

Yes, thanks for the hard work

[@PabstOban]

Most people will never appreciate how much time goes into making a single hour of quality video.

[@weeblbob233]

Jesus thats a lot of work. Organising the gameplay, sound sfx, media, cue cards, graphics, transitions. Then following a script and placing them in a neat order. Really appreciate you making this and showing the process. Was always curious how you made these.

[@TheBestToasty]

Woah! And all that without taking a piss. Impressive

[@hawkbirdtree3660]

What passion! Other channels have teams of people doing what one person does here; on a consistent basis.

[@Stone8age]

One part is skill and experience involved in making these videos. Other is sheer capital investment you need. Powerful PC (otherwise it will take eternity to process), audio/video equipment and ludicrously expensive software.

[@KaskelotenZebbe]

Nice! I've only just made a few videos myself, and seeing this was quite helpful actually.

[@JohnCharb87]

Thank you for sharing.

[@8bitjoystick]

Ah yes, Final Cut Pro, I knew you were a man of culture

[@steelcurtain187]

I can’t even fathom any of this 🤯

[@neo6289]

Thanks Joe!!! 🎉

[@pescadorazulado270]

Nice and nicely done

[@marceltanaka]

A making of episode.would be amazing!

[@cheekyphuzz_thegod8558]

Excuse me, the dance floor is calling me..

[@lasersnake]

Holy shit. That's a lot of work.

[@thisisnotachannel]

I love James' video (season 7 maybe?) where he walks us through the making of an AVGN episode. I enjoy this too, as I find time-lapse fascinating...And it shows just how much work Joe (the workhorse) has done for us since the very beginning... thanks, dude. However... Maybe you could do a slowed down one, where you walk us through the making of one of your stop motion projects? Or even just a Sack episode that uses a little bit of stop motion? My nephew is an aspiring stop motion animator, and I would love to show him the MASTER honing his craft! People think editing takes a lot of time? Well... it does. But... try STOP MOTION! Just a thought. I'm fine if you keep doin' what you're doin'.

[@kairi85]

insane scanline/crt effects, that is crazy

[@bradleyanderson8311]

I love this

[@lurkchan]

thanks for sharing! wish your cursor had been visible, but still interesting to see as i've only used premiere

[@GameSack]

Yeah I wish it was as well, but when a screenshot is grabbed it purposely omits the cursor, and I couldn't figure out how to prevent it from doing that.

[@bmwolgas]

By my math, a little over 9 and a half hours of actual editing. That's actually impressively efficient for a 22-minute video with that amount of production value. How long did these take you to edit in the early days of Game Sack?

[@RetroHousecr]

Watching this while editing a 2hr video :)

[@vincediesil]

This was really cool to see. Somehow, I thought the video on the trinitron behind you was legit and not inserted digitally. Just his to show how well done it is. These peeks behind the curtain are fantastic Joe.

[@Grobisnten]

It may also have been fun to do a time lapse of this time lapse video. Only problem is then you'd have to do a time lapse of that video and it would keep getting smaller until the videos got so small that you'd split the universe into quantum fragments.

[@joshcurrie7781]

Awesome

[@N64Gamer77]

Criminally Overlooked Editing

[@cptwigglefuffle]

Wow your editing is so different from mine, i could learn a lot from how you edit videos even if I don't use premiere or after effects. I use power director lol Would love to watch a more in-depth look behind the scenes

[@TheKayliedGamerChannel-YouTube]

Nice work 🤠👍✌️

[@GANONdork123]

Wow, I had no idea you record yourself over a green screen and overlay the gameplay onto the TV in the background! I legitimately thought you sat in front of the TV with the game running in the background every time.

[@Locomamonk]

If I remember correctly he said that he could have done it for real but there isn't enough space in the room to position the camera for this exact shot. He said it back when Dave was permanent and they were both in the shot.

[@projectmayhem6898]

Thanks!

[@GameSack]

Thank you sir!

[@Hi-qk7hf]

I'm glad it only took you 5 minutes to make the episode

[@GregsGameRoom]

Was this all in one sitting? Dang Joe… Also, I started using this program to cut out the dead space in my voice over clips. Saves me a ton of time. Called “Recut.”

[@bravo1oh1]

Holy crap I thought u actually sit in front of the TV which actually plays the game on screen. 😮

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

Wait...what??

[@slowmercy69]

Joe talks about that in the home tour video

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

Cor joe.... Im embarrassed of my channels existents with how much effort and professionalism you put into it all. You deserve way more subs than what you have and it's sad you've kind of peaked because you are far more professional and up market than say AVGN or whatever- yet you arnt at that million sub count. Been with you a decade, and i wish you well, you are like a distant family member that comes and visits each fortnight.... All good thing's come to an end, and when this ride eventually does i will be very sad. Your awesome joe - and i wish for a few hours i could nerd out with you with a few beers too. All the best.

[@googleboughtmee]

Very exciting

[@fewiip]

pretty cool!!! XDD

[@alejmc]

Wow, this is something. I’m flabbergasted by how you “blindly” put the audio first and then find your way on the video themselves that matches to what you said/images. Is there a lot of scrubbing going on again? Or you ‘see’ the audio forms around the last clip section you connected to the timeline? In any case, great to see the back stage where the craft is being done.

[@GameSack]

The voiceover drives the editing so that's why I lay that down first. Usually when I say something in particular, I have a shot of the game in mind so it's not too hard to find it... but sometimes it can take a while :)

[@ANobodyReviewsGames-wm9gg]

This is for all the people out there who say, "It's not like what you do is hard." They need to watch this. Videos take a long time, even when you have refined your process like Joe has.
