How did Ross write FM?

[Trar]

I'm sorry if anybody's already asked this, but I've been wondering for a long time how Ross wrote Freeman's Mind. Did he plan everything out, or did he allow for adlibbing? That sort of thing.

He explained that in quite some detail in the "asking for money" videos.

In brief:

 

1. He'd play through a section of the game, coming up with certain key points to speak about in that section.

2. He'd then re-play through that section, recording the movements, then rendered out the movements in slow-mo so that everything would be smooth always.

3. Then he'd break it up into pieces. He has 5 seconds before the next thing so he tries to think of something that fits in that.

4. Once each piece is recorded with multiple takes, then they're put together and, with various tweaks to the audio, he'd put it together into single video and release.

I'm curious about that bit in particular. This is probably pretty obvious, but I assume that when recording at 180fps, Ross is experiencing it at approx 30fps? Surely the speed shown in 'Help Make FM HD', would make it difficult for him to play the game smoothly.

He plays the game normally while recording the movements. Then re-replays the recording in slow-mo while transferring it into a movie file.

Ok, that makes more sense now. A bit of a 'duh' moment! Cheers man
