Finishing off a run of 'casual' reviews with one of my most anticipated kits of the last year or two, the Gun EZ. Really great, simple kit from the amazing V Gundam anime. Pretty much everything a cheap grunt suit should be.

Also, about the appearance... We all have our own opinions on how a kit should look, I just lean more towards its anime appearance. A lot of people don't really care about the anime or story of these suits, and that's totally fine, it just isn't how I look at them. The RX-78-2 isn't just 'the first Gundam' to me, it's 'Amuro's Gundam.' The story and characters are everything to me, so naturally I want these kits to look how they looked in the story.

Anyway~ Next review is gonna be an MG, I'm pretty set on that.

-- Production notes for me to look at later --

- This is the last in a run of 'casual' reviews. Basically, they're reviews where I cut a few corners and experiment with the production. I try new things that hopefully I can refine and bring into their own in the more production-heavy MG reviews.

- I made a 'Painting Guide' before starting to work on this video. It was a very bare-bones affair, where I just walked through the part separation. I was unsure about it, so posted it on Twitter for some reactions. No one watched it though, and the one guy that did, wasn't overly impressed, so I never properly uploaded it. Still, might go back and try again later, because I think it's a good concept.

- This is the first video I was actually 'sponsored' in. Like a dude gave me a few bucks and I gave him a shout out. Unsure how I feel about this stuff... Honestly, I've gotten some offers in the past, but they've been comically one-sided, so easy enough to turn down, but this time, it was a guy writing an indie novel series. It struck a chord with me, because I hope to make my own original story at some point. So I decided if I was ever gonna try out a legit sponsored video, I might as well do it with a cause I respect. It's just for this one video, so don't expect any more plugs anytime soon.

- The script - Really basic stuff here, nothing out of the ordinary. I do think I'm getting a little repetitive in my phrasing though...

- I did have to go back and rewrite the appearance section a few times. Always came off negative... I also had to cut a lot, because I compared a lot to the MG Victory Gundams, which I didn't have a ton of footage for. Still, it's much more concise this way.

- Like the HG Gouf Custom review, this has a TON of lights, probably more than needed. It made getting footage a bit annoying, as I had to maneuver around light stands. I'm probably gonna try to cut a few out by the next review.

- I got the exposure real solid on this review. It's the first in awhile that I didn't need to bump up the brightness of the video footage. Really nailed a solid ISO. Pretty happy with it. The stills were a little dark, but thanks to RAW, it wasn't that big a deal.

- The Victory Gundam footage is actually from my very first review. I never uploaded it, it was more of a proof of concept, but still, really cool I got some use out of that footage, even if it sucked. I did find it to be surprisingly crisp though. Wonder what lens I was using. Think it was a 24mm, which might have helped.

- I lowered the contrast compared to my more recent videos. I just thought the brightness of the shadows made the backdrop look cheap. Dropped the saturation more than usual too, since it was really easy to accidentally make this green look disgusting.

- It was fairly hard to get the colors to look right on this kit. I don't think I quite nailed it. They're supposed to be a bit darker than the anime line art.

- The audio is sounding really solid imo. Not "$400 microphone" levels, but about as good as it's gonna get. I used some of the tools a friend of mine used for the Gouf Custom audio, and tweaked it a little bit. It's more bass-y than his, but I think it sounds rounder.

- Also got the music at just the right level. Really happy with it. Part of me wants to go back and fix the audio levels for all my other reviews, but then I'd have to take them down...

- Used the black fade in from the side more. Really getting comfortable with it.

Idk what else. This review was made while I've been locked inside because of the situation we're all in, so cabin fever has my mind scattered.
