Burnt Hair is On The WAY! :D

 

No way! It finally is on it's way :D ...in typical Musk estimate, this was supposed to be delivered in Q1 2023 after an order from 2022 and of course Q1 2023 passed by and only thing that was delivered is couple of emails with some puns and jokes that they are working on it.. but Q2 and Q3 went by and still nothing... they finally dropped the puns when they told me more delays and the Q1 2024 is the new expected delivery. I guess they might just hit that one after a whole year of delay ...might do a short video once it arrives.

The 406 Economy Video is Doing Very Good!

Sneak peak into the first 3 and half hours after live premiere and the video got 4 times more views than the best performing video so far. 👀

This is a really good sign that the video might be on a path to outperform my other 2 best performing videos with 8000 and 4000 views. Can't wait to see how far this one will get... maybe it will just flatten out after some views and that will be it... will post an update if anything interesting happens.

How I Created The Thumbnails For My 406 Economy Videos.

I have finally finished the 406 extreme economy mini series. To say this was a difficult video to edit would be an understatement. Very heavy on extra graphics throuout I have underestimated how long it's going to take me to finish it. I have not even intended this to be split into 3 separate videos and planned to release just 1 video, but the shear amount of time it took me to edit this changed my mind.

Thumbnail was also quite a journey, it started by a simple shot I pulled out from the video which looked very promising and clean.. and as you can see bellow I was keep adding to it until it became very convoluted mess.. Eventually I realized this and managed to cleaned it up, deleted all the extra elements with the mini map, even the 2000km text.. and was left with pretty clean image similar to the initial screenshot with just me, the car and 2 bubbles of text. I have also added a bit of artistic filter to the whole image which not sure will help the performace but I sure like the colours so I decided to go with it for the final version.. also made the font a bit bolder and zoomed in a little bit to make it bigger. The final full video will be released Tomorrow as a premiere.
