Why I Love Travel Season’s Editing Style:

Okokok- I already made a post stating my love for Travel Season after my first initial watch-through of the first two episodes, but I have more to say. Last night, I could not stop rewatching these episodes. Possibly because I am just over the moon seeing Steven, Andrew, and Adam back in action in a show created 100% by them, and where they are allowed to make it their way- BUT there is another reason I could not stop watching it. All do in part of the editing style.

As a self-taught (and soon to be academically-taught) video editor, my favorite thing when watching digital media is seeing what techniques and styles creators use to convey an overall concept to their videos/shows. Some of the more detail-oriented editing I see in today's climate of internet content comes from Watcher's shows. For instance, Mystery Files with the corkboard graphics. Are You Scared of the hand-drawn art from illustrators Mollie Ong and Rafael Mejia. Dish Granted with the use of circle cutouts and white negative spaces. Weird Wonderful World with its cartoon sound effects and stylistic graphics/music to fit whatever atmosphere the boys are in. Puppet History with the motion graphics being put within the confines of the puppet theatre and just everything that goes into the post-production process of the lore events of that show. I could go on, but I might end up writing a whole novel in the process.

Plus, this is about Travel Season... so let's talk about Travel Season.

I was barely 5 minutes into the first episode when I realized just how different Travel Season stands out against anything Watcher has ever created. The overall vibes of the show are calm, peaceful, comforting, and relaxed. The whole show feels like I am watching an old family home video made in the 90s with a camcorder. This style of content that isn't constantly moving at a fast pace and in your face would not perform well in the YouTube algorithm, and I am glad that Watcher was able to launch their own platform to make shows like Travel Season because gosh, this is the kind of content I miss. Oversaturation and pleasing the algorithm can only go a long way as a creative, trust me.

Anywho- back to editing. I am going to point out just some of my favorite editing details that were showcased in the first two episodes of Travel Season. Starting off with probably my favorite scene from both episodes:

This small clip highlights many of my favorite details of the post-production of Travel Season. The first detail I brought up in my previous post involves The Brick aka the camera. The concept of The Brick ties in with what Meredith, Watcher's Development Coordinator, said in Pod Watcher episode #23 about physical hobbies. Something that we can create in a physical sense that does not belong to a digital realm ala the internet/social media. The idea of having a functional prop with The Brick can tie a whole show aesthetic together, but in this case, The Brick also aids in the post-production allowing the team to make smooth-flowing transitions. What I mean is sometimes, especially with a show like Travel Season where they cover many different locations/activities in one video, finding a perfect, easy-flowing transition can be difficult. Jump cuts can be useful in certain cases to hit a comedic mark or shock the viewer, but that is not the overall vibe of Travel Season. The pictures taken on The Brick from their work tripe an easily organized B-roll for harder transition points and simple things such as finding Seoul provide space for much-needed voiceovers for context.

Another editing point that is provided in this clip is the audio. Watcher has never missed the mark regarding audio choices and the addition of sound effects in their work. Sometimes people think that when editing, the editor finds a song that fits and slaps it on the timeline, but here showcases the idea of editing for the environment. What really stuck out to me is the jump cut to the location and using an effect like Lowpass on the audio to make the audience feel as though they are truly standing outside of this nightclub-esk restaurant. Then it jumps to the audio back to normal with Steven dancing as Andrew browses then back to Lowpass edit as they introduce this next location. It's just such a subtle touch that had me all giddy because small details as this audio editing elevate the scene to another level. Showing that Watcher was trying to make you feel like you are there with the boys on their travels. A true immersion effect that I just love.

Also to Adam and Annie who were both camera operators, your b-roll is absolutely superb and adds to the overall vibe of Travel Season.

The last point of editing I want to bring up as it's on the top of my head are these moments:

When they use a frame hold and then change the aspect ratio for a transition. I just find it such a charming technique in video editing. Plus I feel like this transition fits in with the whole "taking photos" approach because in a way the changing of the ratio on a frame hold is like taking a snapshot of that frame like a picture.

I just... I just love it, okay?

Honestly, I could go on and on about every little detail of this show and how they decided to overall produce it, but like I said- novel.

Watcher just puts so much love and care into all the shows they make. Even when it comes to the last process of video production which is editing the episodes together. I have not seen many channels put this much thought into the specificity of their videos like Watcher. This is why I gravitate towards them so much they care about the little things in the shows they create.

Moral of the story: I am in love with Travel Season and with Watcher as a whole.

thank you for listening to my ted talk aka my nerdy ramblings

THEY ARE SO INSUFFERABLE AND HORRIFIC AND AWFUL BUT SO AMAZING AND DORKY AND THIS PART IS SO UNFAIRLY FUNNY AND CUTE AND WHOLESOME-- PLEASE, PLEASE HAVE MORE SCREENTIME IN S2. PLEASE LET THEM TAKE OVER THE SHOW. I KNOW THEY'RE HORRIBLE PEOPLE BUT I NEED MORE OF THE VEES.

And the most important scene of them all (to me):

First of all, how is Vox doing that. Second, you just know that these two douchebags are going to bang so hard with Alastor getting his ass kicked replaying in the background after this. I hate them so much.

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel vox #hazbin hotel valentino #hazbin hotel velvette #hazbin hotel vees #voxval #staticmoth #all their scenes in this episode were so freaking good holy shit #all their scenes in show are great actually #like-- oh my god #they are so much fun to have around #vox was literally me the entire time (minus the alastor hating) #and their evil little happy celebrating at the end was so cute it's unreal #i wanted the vees to sing together at some point and i'm so happy it was delivered vox and val sound fantastic together #and that sneaky staticmoth kiss at the end YES YES YES YEEESS #i love everyone in this show (except adam) but the vees are just built different #with adam dead can they please appear more? please? i need more of these disgusting assholes committing disgusting crimes and gay wrongs #''the future of hell belongs to the vees'' is a sentiment i can and will get behind please take over #i just finished the season finale and it gave me the dopamine rush i really needed today i'm so happy AAHHHHHH #i can't stop rewatching this scene someone please help me i can't escape their clutches i've been here for hours please #ok i'm clogging these tags so i'm stopping here but AAGHHHBKFGXGGGBB #anyways good night

prosekai au where everything is absolutely the same except niigo, instead of being a music circle, is a fanfiction writing-ish group. kanade is a writer, mafuyu is her beta reader, ena makes fancomics based on kanade's fanworks and mizuki makes trailers for upcoming fics. and basically that's it. niigo lore but everything revolves around them being wattpad ao3 users

#cooking a fic out of this actually but i have to rewatch niigo main story for this . so maybe in july #additional details: kanade's dad fell into a coma because he overworked himself after kanade's writing abilities surpassed his own #(and kana's parents met bc kanadad was also a fic writer when he was young) #remember this scene where kanade made a song for her dad's bday when she was a kid. she wrote a whole story for him in here #ena's story still mainly revolves about art bcs. fancomics #mafumom absolutely despises writers it seems #and the fics are probably centered about miramagi (mizu's favorite anime) and that's how they met #kanade wants to write a fic that would save someone oh shes so like me fr #pjsk #project sekai #prsk #ri says things the tag #nightcord at 25 #kanade yoisaki #mafuyu asahina #ena shinonome #mizuki akiyama #sorta projecting in here bcs lol #i slept two hours today bcs im in anguish trying to write smth for tsukasa's bday #of COURSE i'm gonna project into kanade

I love angsting about Izzy so much that sometimes I forget that time Izzy “Something LGBT Might Have Happened To You But I’m Different” Hands forced Spanish Jackie to endure a whole evening of him waxing lyrical about Blackbeard in a silly voice and drawing xs through Stede’s eyes in his journal

#*spanish jackie looks into the camera like she’s in the office* #he’s tooootally cool and chill and badass etc you guys #Izzy hands #ofmd #our flag means death #rewatching some scenes today and I’m dying omg #we truly are in a comedy I love them

TK talking about himself vs. Other people talking about TK

#911 lone star #tk strand #carlos reyes #owen strand #cooper The Sponsor #ok so this is take two of posting this because it magically disappeared from my page earlier so if this is a duplicate for you - apologies #I made this after I rewatched 3x13 and actually paid attention to the dialogue between cooper and tk - #- instead of focusing on carlos' ridiculous faces in that scene #seeing the contrast between how tk sees himself and how other people see him #the scene with gwyn where he says 'if i'm not enough to keep you two together' kills me #especially since gwyn didn't even... respond to that bit?? #and also him being so unsure about being accepted as a paramedic compared to his resume 'sounding like a unicorn' lol #tk calling himself out on acting 'like a little bitch' is mostly adorable and I love him for it but I had to include it anyway #my gifs #hopefully the link in this works and this post doesn't poof into thin air again im havin a bitch of a time today lmao

[insanity-laughs-under-pressure]

I can't remember if this is the exact quote, but there's something powerful about how the first time Crowley tries to have a go at the confession he says:

"We should both probably be talking about it, it's probably best I go first and you do all the listening because if I don't talk now I don't know if I ever will."

Like the way that whole thing was phrased makes it sound like Crowley was so sure Aziraphale felt the same (he was right of course but...). There's just something about those words which click, Crowley finally realised what the last puzzle piece was and was ready to use it. Then Aziraphale took the piece and shoehorned it into an entirely different puzzle.

#Yes I could rewatch the EVERY scene to get the quote completely correct but I don't feel like crying today #It's a haunting sentence though #Crowley went from being hopeful to desperate #He was committed though I have to give him that #good omens #good omens 2 #ineffable husbands #every

i still think jjk would have been 90% better if they'd made sukuna funny

#how is an evil demon/curse/sorcerer stuck in a 16 yo's brain not hilarious to anyone else #that one scene where yuji asks him to take over his body in season one and hes just like 🖕no still lives rent free in my mind #mind you i dont think they should have made him good #but like. yea plotting to kill him and everyone else and all but how did we not get a single sukuna playing wingman scene #was he not interested in hilarious shoujo hijinks? how could he do this to me #ok going to rewatch jjk while drawing today i hope theyve dubbed s2 in italian

[irondad-defensesquad]

(...) every time [he] looks at me with those big innocent eyes, all I can think about is every shitty thing I've ever done and I think, "I don't deserve that kind of love".

#this is not the last of b/ojack references you'll see from me btw lmao #lotus speaks #irondad #homecoming #spider-man: homecoming #also i rewatched this scene at least ten times today #i never rlly noticed how tony somewhat panics here #before he puts on his glasses again #he's like 'oh shit. oh shit this kid is too precious and i don't deserve him'

I love a monologue declaring romantic feelings soooo much, BUT the writers for Superstore having Amy ask Jonah why the hell he's stuck with working retail longer than he's ever committed to anything in his life before, and Jonah just saying, "Why do you think, Amy?" instead of going on a whole spiel was SO GOOD.

Obviously we as viewers can infer the whole inner monologue based on that, we know that he could tell her that he still loves her, and that even when she wasn't working in the store anymore he stayed because it was a reminder of her etc. etc., but we don't hear him say it out loud. Instead we get straight to Amy's reaction, knowing that she already knows damn well that Jonah still has feelings for her, and stayed in his shit-ass retail job because it was the one thing still slightly connecting them, and it just hits so much better like that.

I've watched the show through 3 times now, and I still tear up at this point because you just get the sense that Jonah is so defeated by his own feelings for her that he, the king of generally unnecessary monologues and poetic verbal bullshit, can't even form the proper words to explain how heartbroken he still is, when to him she seems fine and happy in her nice job without him and just moved on with no problem, even though it actually was really freaking hard for her too.

They say hardly anything in this scene but the things they do say are so carefully chosen to evoke all the emotion and aaahhhhhhh it's just such good writing (and acting) and I love it.

#anyway watch Superstore #the whole show is great not just this one scene #and it's genuinely good comedy outside of things like this which just give you that 'punched in the gut' feeling #superstore #jonah x amy #superstore finale #i didnt even finish my latest rewatch today i finished it like a week ago #but ive just been thinking about this since
