Description

Initially, I didn't take this video seriously and thought that I would finish it in the first week of the expedition. However, due to life circumstances and lack of motivation, the process dragged on for several months.

The plot of the video:
This video is the exact opposite of the previous video "I don't want to be alone". It shows the contrast between traveling with friends and acquaintances and wandering alone. According to the timeline, the events of this video take place before the events of "I don't want to be alone", and it is related to the plot of "Golden hour". In this video, we can see how the character is going through the loss of his beloved. This unfilled void left after the tragedy prevents the commander from exploring the galaxy with the same peace.
I won't reveal all the plot details, I'll leave it for the next plot videos and even movies.

Creation story (lots of monologue and text):
This video reflects not only the experiences of the game character, but also my own. I don't know why, but I was overcome with melancholy, and I couldn't start a full-fledged editing. I've started and quit many times, started and quit again. I've redone everything from scratch a couple of times and even changed the music when the video was half done. I can't say for sure what caused this fickleness. Perhaps music also had an impact, but before that I was quietly listening to ambient and slowed music, and they didn't cause me such emotions as they do now. This project means a lot to me, and the same emotions that I experienced while working on it will always remain in it.

Now some specifics about my experiments and progress in installation. I tried to use as many masks as possible. I will use them more often and take them off with this in mind. You might also notice a lot of glare from the stars. I tried to implement the lens flare effect using a plugin. The trekking was difficult, but I am more than happy with the result. There were some problems with the display, but I solved them (do not turn on motion blur on a layer where there is a lens effect, do not repeat my mistakes). Another interesting thing is that I tried to work with the noises and make a background at the end of the video. I really liked the way it looks, I will use these plugins more often.

Summing up, I can say that this video was not the most difficult to edit, but it was also not the easiest. There were almost no problems with rendering, I solved problems with effects intuitively. Experience is already accumulating. It's not for nothing that I completely switched to Adobe software.

Thank you if you read it to the end. I really feel better after writing this text. Finally, I can let go of this project.

Fly safe! o7
