Investigation Post - Imaqtpie

Imaqtpie is a former League of Legends pro player, who is now one of the most popular League of Legends players. His primary factor of entertainment is his consistently (albeit sarcastic) stating his skill at League of Legends, as well as his typically casual attitude. He is especially known for his style of talking and his catchphrase "Hell Yeah!". He has one of the best editors out there known as 2nd Sequence, who will upload his stream highlights to YouTube will a large quantity of editing to make the video even more humorous and entertaining.

Investigation Post - Scarra

Scarra is a former League of Legends pro known for his innovation in the early days of pro League, as well as his game knowledge and analysis. He typically entertains viewers simply due to the nature of his person, along with his skill as a player. He will upload Patch Analysis videos whenever Riot Games releases and update to League of Legends. He is known for his pro career on the now defunct Team Dignitas. Similarly to Rush, Scarra has an editor who will upload stream highlights to YouTube, but sometimes Scarra himself will stream on YouTube.

He focuses mainly on playing to entertain viewers, and will frequently play characters where they shouldn't be played and winning with absurd builds due to his mechanical skill and sizeable gameplay knowledge. He is known for his pro careers with North America's Team Impulse and Cloud 9. His humor is more or less joking about how poorly the enemy team plays, messing with friends, or freaking out when he makes a bad mistake. He has an editor who posts stream highlights to YouTube.

End of Marking Period

This marking period I have been working on editing and trying to record footage for League of Legends. For the most part I have just been figuring out how to use some effects in After Effects, and I have been trying to record my own footage, to mixed success. The biggest issue with recording footage off my own computer is that the resolution of the recording is odd, and the framerate is rather poor, often being really low or skipping. There is also the issue of recording the sound of my PC, which requires spending $15 a year, which, while rather low, is also a questionable decision depending on whether or not this program ends up working well. I have also been working on a script for a semi-comedic video spotlighting a Support Jhin build, which will feature primarily motion graphics, some of which are already completed.
