The Great Mysteries of Gaming: Horror-ized Edition (an experimental re-edit)

I decided to see what would happen if I were to take the Scott the Woz video, “The Great Mysteries of Gaming” and focus on its story, which revolves around a murder mystery.

This is essentially a proof-of-concept edit, to see if I can take a funny video, and make it at least slightly scary.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This edit will be FAR shorter than the original video, as I am truncating both the intro and the gaming mystery talk.

Changelist:
After opening lightning flash, video goes straight to Scott finding the invitation in his closet.

Whenever Scott turns the radio on to his gaming talk, the audio from the radio can be heard continuing well after it cuts to Scott arriving at the party.

Everything remains the same until Chet’s death, heralded by a new stinger, lifted from Halloween II, along with a new, colder color grade, with added grain persisting through the remainder of the video.

All music from here on out has been replaced.

Video remains unaltered (except for music) until Jeb’s death.

Jeb’s death has been made much more brutal, in keeping with the theme of 80’s slasher flicks. Multiple blood splashes and another stinger have been added, including blood that impacts the window.

The rest of the video remains unchanged except for the music.

A new end credits sequence replaces the end card, crediting both the original video and anything used in the re-edit.

There will also be some other cool stuff. (VHS effect on the tv, snazzy vocal isolation, etc.)

I will do more versions, so feel free to suggest more stuff for me to add!

It’s coming along decently, I had to restart after the laptop I was using (school laptop via Runway Sequel) had to get taken back at the end of the year, I have a new rough cut in the works now.

Sorry I haven’t updated this for so long, but the edit is finally done and exporting now, I’ll let you know when the links are ready to by PM’d out.

There was a small, yet detrimental rendering error, so I have to re-render it, but it should be ready within the hour. Quick note, this edit will be in 720p, (software limitations) and is basically v1.1.
