and yea, it does do a tiny glitch at 6:03 or so. it's hella annoying but i gotta export every video in portions, then export all the exports together, even then it still visually glitches, or the audio gets out of sync. it's cus my laptop just sucks (i think). just gotta deal with it for now. and yea, my friend wanted his face blurred :(
journal entry (9/3/24):
i cannot believe this is the 5th episode of the series already. honestly it's been crazy. the growth hasn't been insane (yet) but i'm getting better and better ideas, and learning more so i know i'll make it. this episode was a blast to make, and probably the coolest thing i've made so far. looking to change that tho. each video has to be better be 1%, in any aspect. that's the rule. i hope you're doing well tho. if you're around my age, then maybe you're feeling the same about life. i don't know what's happening, but i also kinda do know- or i guess i'm gaining more knowledge. im simultaneously scared but excited for the future. still waiting on that 1 video to blow up. that's what i need right now haha. i know if i keep at it, it will happen. if i keep getting better, the chances will compound. i have no clue where this journal entry is going, there's a lot happenin in my mind right now ahaha. imma go play some music. life is amazing. i'm super grateful and lucky and privileged to be able to do this lol. i hope you're enjoying life as well.

[@TravellerZasha]

For all my life I knew my constant need for distraction was cause I have a fear of silence. When it's so quiet that there's no sound or stimulation it makes me uneasy. Maybe it's ADHD but it's also related to two things, FOMO and childhood trauma. I'm afraid of wasting time that could be used "productively" or dying without experiencing everything in life. Also as a kid I was always watching movies as a distraction during childhood abuse, silence = abuse or time closer to death for me hence why boredom/silence is such an anxious trigger for me. Ironically knowing this makes me scared to work on it although slowly I'm trying to get therapy for it. TLDR: Avoiding facing boredem is usually a sign of something else you're trying to avoid imo.

[@arikki.]

dude totally agreed 👌💪

[@PugsLvmb]

[@uneditedcontent4864]

in all honesty it was the opposite for me i started to find video games boring empty and pointless so i would just sit around all day doing nothing but drawing occasionally because i dream of being an animator. but when i went back to an old game i played as a kid you can guess i felt like a kid again everything felt so happy in that one moment.

[@arikki.]

dangggg, well that's a cool feeling, i still believe you should try to pursue what you believe to be your purpose (which is the msg of the film lol)

hey how can i learn make music like you? and thanks you on this amizing video

[@arikki.]

well, im still learning how to produce music, but what i do is listen to music that i like, and incorporate different things i hear from each style. if ur a beginner just starting out, then maybe find a song u like and try to make a cover/replicate it to learn the daw (digital audio workstation/the application u make music on) and learn techniques. listen to a bunch of music to get inspired, then the only way to get better is to create! also utilise the internet. i learnt a lot from not knowing how to do something, then searching up a tutorial on how to do it, then following along with it. when I started i watched a 2 hr lecture on logic pro (the daw i use), but it wasn't helpful, as i wasn't applying the knowledge i was intaking. so u gotta create. u got it, lmk how u go! 💪

[@jen_rose13]

Let's go another ep!! It was a good one! Keep it up arii, I loved the video editing and angles, also are u old enough to drink, thought u said you were 16, or that might be a non alcohol drink if that's the case oops sorry lmao anyway looking forward to the next one!

But I lack motivation and habit... What makes me sad is realizing that our brains are biologically wired to be lazy and steer us towards content consumption or playing video games or anything else that's low effort to get into and high reward immediately. Look it up, it's the striatum (this kind of findings is why I love neuroscience).
