You are listening to the Glass Cannon Network, the premier source for role-playing game entertainment.

Welcome to Cannon Father, a behind the scenes look at the Glass Cannon Network.

What is going on, everybody? Welcome back to Cannon Father. It is Wednesday, August 30th, 2023, and I'm your good pal, Joe O'Brien.

And I'm Troy in the trenches, LaValley. You are in it. Can you believe it's August 30th? It's crazy. Summer is over. Thank goodness.

Thank goodness. Back to school, weather is going to start changing, and you are in the weeds. You have a big launch of a new show coming in a couple weeks here.

Yeah, it's really creeping up on us, and I've gone from excited to just angry at the amount of work that isn't everything done, Troy.

Isn't everything ready to go? I want to be very hands-on here at the beginning, because part of our scaling efforts is that stuff that we did during the original Glass Cannon Podcast campaign won.

We're handing off to other people. We have a staff now that can do a lot of the editing and compiling and stuff to shoot that you and I were doing for 300-something episodes.

But as we start this process, I want to be super hands-on with it. So I'm doing the edit, and it's just I haven't I haven't had to do this in a long time.

And being such a perfectionist and learning a new, we're using new software and everything. It's just a real, real finicky pain in the ass.

And episode one is what I'm working on now. And it's long. There's a lot going on. And having the video component, having the audio tied to the video, all the video stuff that we've done since we opened up and expanded into streaming has been unedited for the most part.

Now our live shows, I edited like the first four or five, and then we've had an editor ever since like Glass Cannon live six. And so I wouldn't have to worry about that, but those edits are they're compiling. We're not really pulling out content.

We're just you picking the best shots. So that's even that is a different kind of edit than this, because we're removing stuff, we're removing flubs, we're removing moments that didn't work.

And having to do the audio and the video is just really rolls that didn't go our way. Yeah, changing dice rolls and whatnot. You know, it's just it's just like we always did with giant slayer. It's a lot, it's a lot.

And you know, be one thing if that's all we had going on, but there's just a lot of crazy fun, exciting stuff happening behind the scenes, but I'm having trouble seeing the forest of the trees right now, because I said to you right before we started them like September 14 seems in many ways very far.

In many ways very far away and in many ways not like it's happening very soon. Yeah, we got a packed schedule in between now and then and so yeah, there's a lot of little details that have to happen a lot of tees that have to be crossed eyes have to be dotted. So it's it is a little bit stressful. I always wonder if like like a big like a game of thrown season premiere right game of thrown season premiere. Like when is it fully fully done.

And in the hands of those that will distribute it broadcast like the actual digital file like I'm curious if it's like, oh, it's done seven months before release that or is it like the week before, you know, I'm just curious like up until when do they continue working on major TV shows before broadcast. I love that insider info.

I wonder I mean this really does feel like a TV show though at this point. It looks like a TV show and and the amount of things that are going into like the compiling of episodes it's so much more I just showed you guys the intro yesterday.

Oh, that is true dude it looks like a fucking TV show. I just working on the session zero video because I wanted to you know all the stuff with glass can right now I'm just being super super helicopter parenty around.

So I like I compiled that and putting together I just want everything to look and feel different than what we've done. I wanted to feel like an upgraded experience and it really I just I look at everything else that's out there and I'm not a I'm not a comparison person.

That's not I don't like covered my neighbor's goods. I'm just like I see what's out there and I say we are going to do it better everything that's out there we're going to do it better so that we we we stand out.

And I think that this show when it premieres it people get it right out the gate be like holy shit this looks different than everything else.
