People Playing Games - 5-min Morning Journal #220418

-

The game has 3 stages. Stage 1 met a technical glitch and has to be delayed. I waited. It seems it's not going to start any time soon. So I went outside to the meeting point. A young man outside told me he completed stages 2 and 3 while waiting for stage 1 to restart. Then I regretted not knowing I could do that. So I rushed back into the building and looked for stage 2. I searched from room to room. Many people were doing some activities. I couldn't find our activity. I went outside again. This time a lady asked me if I encountered the delay in stage 1. I got annoyed and desperate.  Time is running out. I need help to get to stages 2 and 3. There is no one around at the meeting point to help me.   

I was holding something blue throughout the game.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot.
