S2, SC: "TF2 Demo JPEG vs TGA Comparison"

Video link



I accidentally typed "S2" in the blog title and just realized that this should be in seasons, not chapters, since chapters are more for books, and seasons are more for TV shows. Good thing I caught that. Will be updating "CH" (chapter) to "S" (season).



Writing these posts are kind of making me more insane than I usually am. I have been sacrificing sleep and have been playing less games. I've been watching more videos and livestreams on my second monitor so I can keep working on the blogs to fulfill some social/entertainment needs. I know that I really should talk to people on Discord, but I shut it off so I can finish these posts because I care about what people think and I tend to ruminate over what people think of me. Often times, keeping quiet seems like the best option.



Oh right, back to some info on the video.



The description back on YouTube pretty much sums it up. JPEG was the no brainer here - high quality, lower file size. Just some more honing of my TF2 video production process. I made a preset effect here for all my future TF2 videos to come - a basic sharpen and curve adjustment, with an emphasis on keeping the visuals as true to the game as possible. Although that was in mind then, I might be experimenting with more adventurous color grading in the future, to expand my creative control in my videos (may be prevalent in season 3, since I'm writing these posts in season 3).
