3/27/2022 4 Comments Week 5: SUCCESS!3/27/22
This week was a pretty fun and successful week. For the first time, we did an actual bake! Spencer, made a German chocolate pound cake while Bryce tried out some new filming angles to aid in the experience. Cayden however, couldn’t join us this week for a multitude of reasons. So we had some challenges with only 2 people instead of the usual 2.5 people. But in the end, it turned into our most successful week so far! Bryce: I had some challenges with the recent video, since we didn’t have the usual help of Cayden holding the mic. But, it is my project so I had to make do without him. We had to take more takes than usual because of the newfound difficulty, but also I tried some different angles which were a bit weird. The upcoming video I am holding off from uploading for another few days, since I want to use a couple more edits. I don’t plan on making it look “great” but I do want to maybe add music and also some transitions. I don’t really want to add effects nor do I want too many transitions. I am just going to use the upcoming video as a test so that we use it as a base for future films. Spencer: This week was an absolutely fabulous success. Even with a man down, we absolutely crushed it. For the first time in weeks, we actually had a solid plan of execution for the bake, days before the actual event. It was decided that since I had an event planned on Saturday afternoon, that we would do the filming and baking in the morning. So, I got up at 9:00 AM on Saturday morning and picked up Bryce from his house so we could begin the bake. From there, I began to lay out the ingredients and the equipment, while Bryce set up the equipment. Within 30 minutes, due to some argument about baking equipment we got to work. I combined butter, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder into a batter-like mixture. It looked so delicious that I had to try some, very cleanly of course. Next I set it in a greased pound cake pan to bake for an hour and 30 minutes. From there we hung playing VR until the cake was finished and set on making the icing which proved to be a challenge but a success. Sadly, Bryce and to leave early, which was sort of lucky sense the power went out as I was icing the cake. Stupid wind. I loaded the cake into the car and took it to the dinner with friends and it turned out to be a massive hit. I was so happy for the first time about baking that it has encouraged me to try out even more crazy recipes. Until next time.

Keep it going! Coming from a person with editing experience, video design makes videos ten times better!
