This Movie Turned Me Into a Feminist
30sA bold, controversial take on a bad movie that sparks debate about media and feminism.
▶ Play Clip"Playful title, but the stream is mostly unstructured chatter with only a few generic Resolve techniques."
In this casual editing stream, an indie VTuber works on a video essay about a movie so bad it 'turned them into a feminist,' while weaving in a historical Colorado railroad rescue story. Along the way, the streamer shares glimpses of their DaVinci Resolve workflow, including spline interpolation, color spaces, and ironic typography choices.
The streamer welcomes viewers to another editing stream, noting that over a third of the video still remains to be edited.
The video being edited is about a movie so bad that it 'turned me into a feminist,' and the streamer compares it unfavorably to romantic manga.
The movie's plot involves a crisis where kids go missing, the protagonist realizes she loves them, marries a priest, and gets the kids back — described as a 'happy ending.'
The video features a historical story about a 3-ft gauge railroad in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
RGS number 20 and an 8-turn 460 hauling freight got stuck in snow; the next day, locomotives 22 and 42 with a snow plow were sent to rescue them, but they also got stuck after a mile.
Locomotive 458 meets up with RGS 41 to free the original stuck train, but both derail their tenders near the station, possibly due to frozen, buckled rails or lack of traction.
By March 10, crews had been on duty for a week, which would have blown fatigue management rules; managers eventually gave up and walked back to town.
The streamer uses the spline editor with cusp interpolation and slight desync to animate the protagonist's realization in a frantic way.
Sets the color space to a hue-based one and chooses an obnoxiously cheesy font to make the video's irony obvious.
The streamer had the entire 14-hour train ride back to think about the movie, which kept replaying in their mind.
Movie so bad it 'turned me into a feminist'
This is the core hook of the video essay — a personal, provocative take that frames the entire editing project.
03:253-ft gauge railroad in Colorado
Establishes the historical context for the train story, giving the video a factual anchor in narrow-gauge railway history.
15:39RGS 20 stuck in snow
A specific, vivid incident that drives the narrative and shows how small historical details can make a story compelling.
18:37Spline editor and cusp interpolation
Concrete editing technique used to create a frantic, animated effect — practical insight for Resolve users.
42:31Ironic font and vocals
Shows intentional creative choices to signal irony, a subtle storytelling device in video essays.
51:12[01:01] >> Hello my host. And welcome to another editing stream. And welcome to another editing stream. Today, we are finishing or not Today, we are finishing or not finishing. Still got
[01:15] over a third of the video left, but we are doing some more editing. are doing some more editing. Let's get into that right now. Oh, that's all right. Or hi Jeremy.
[01:34] I didn't get Oh, hi New Haven. Good to see you. Add a little bit more of the text
[02:00] I stopped. Um, this Um, this His and Hers Circumstances was more His and Hers Circumstances was more uh
[02:15] mid-90s if I recall correctly. Actually, let's check that out.
[02:35] This is sort of like a filler low lower effort one between the bigger ones that took what feels like half a year to publish.
[03:12] Seeds a bit more at some point in the near future. Ah. It is a about a
[03:25] It is a about a movie I watched which was so bad movie I watched which was so bad that it turned me into a feminist.
[03:41] And I'm just at this point comparing it to romantic manga that I've watched which I think did romance better.
[03:55] Uh-huh. Oh, Harry Furer, that's the one I want.
[04:27] There it goes. Save image as.
[04:42] Now, where did I Where did I download that thing to? Oh, I think I downloaded it to the right place then.
[05:21] a problem to me. Okay, I did save it to them. It's under s t i l.
[05:47] Ah. There it goes.
[06:00] Do you not change the names of your files and just have random JPEGs?
[06:28] Sometimes I do change their names when I remember to.
[06:46] Let's set blend that way. Move back. Just blend out.
[07:06] checking the color of her hair out a minute. my memory is Yeah. And the thing is if you did change the JPEG names, you're probably better off.
[07:21] JPEG names, you're probably better off. Had Jimmy and Yui and Yui in Harry Ferrata. And yes, all of those examples are from anime.
[07:37] that button. Okay. I'm a anime. A bee keeper likes anime. I'm a anime. A bee keeper likes anime. Pork is found in the kitchen.
[07:50] And a rational number is found in the reals. Then there is some sort of reals. Then there is some sort of crisis.
[08:09] there is some sort of crisis with the kids and some sort of crisis with the kids and they go missing. Protagonist comes to realization that she loves marries the priest, gets the kids back
[08:22] marries the priest, gets the kids back and this is the happy ending.
[08:41] And this is the happy happy ending. The the
[09:02] end of the movie I'm describing. Still got all that left. Where I go on repeated rants. Apparently.
[09:39] Can I make this a little gray-er? Okay. Oh, because it's day sky.
[10:01] Is this just day sky? Why isn't there a night sky?
[10:20] Let's do it with a just a normal background.
[10:49] I eventually used to sort of emulate stained glass. I hope to sort of emulate stained glass. I hope that looks good. Actually, we probably need more stained glasses. Just a second.
[11:24] VIP. How are you going?
[11:46] >> Why is upping the duplicate not getting more images?
[12:06] artistic talent than I have the capacity for.
[13:40] That kind of works. At least good enough for
[13:57] historical story about snow. I definitely would like to see hear a I definitely would like to see hear a long-winded
[14:17] I'll find it.
[14:53] Probably because if I remove them, it crashes the crashes the the
[15:07] This three kids. We three kids of Orient are.
[15:39] a 3-ft gauge railroad in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
[16:04] Oh. Go background here.
[16:16] Fix that. Three kids we're going to place into the scene.
[16:37] We might consider doing something about that. Yeah, what do we need next?
[17:42] I've seen people with different color pickers.
[18:04] Uh, da da da
[18:37] train hauled by RGA S number 20 S number 20 and eight-turn 460 hauling three freight snow. The next day,
[18:52] since the locomotive were locomotives 22 and 42 with a snow plow to rescue number 20, two locos later will be accompanied by a two locos later will be accompanied by a railbus.
[19:09] made it a mile before they got stuck in the snow themselves.
[19:39] Might be a plug-in that I've got to either purchase or download. DaVinci resolve
[19:53] color picker in Fusion. picker in Fusion. Fusion
[20:28] menu in Fusion. How to change the color interface
[21:06] select tool
[21:44] change that tool.
[22:06] selector base. thing
[22:23] difficult. Ah. the rail bus is stuck in the snow. It's RGS Boris locomotive for on the
[22:35] neighboring D&RGW and Rio Grande number 458. That's 458 is on the way to get a rotary snow plow. It's tender derailed.
[22:47] snow plow. It's tender derailed. Yeah.
[23:07] >> All right. Let's go.
[23:40] uh red.
[24:02] The GG D and I GW sands locomotive 271 to re-rail. After the 271 re-rails the train, it's on its way home. It gets stuck in the snow and it's freed after
[24:17] snow and it's freed after 4 hours of shoveling. Sounds like it wasn't a good day to be on on the
[24:50] that. How do I get Yes, can get fog. But not there. Take that away, please.
[25:25] And I will adjust it with the fast noise. Oh, that looks a bit dirty.
[26:14] Why is it going to the green? I want it to go to go to the blue note. That's better.
[26:43] Same time further up the line, superintendent. 5 and every available man he can find to save this stuck train. Superintendent
[26:57] and his train also gets stuck in the snow.
[27:11] And that's C's rate. Let's see. Then there is some C's. sort
[27:24] Let's have actually a very small amount of C's. Then there is some C's. sort sort All right.
[28:07] A match four five eight meets up with the RGS 41. heads up to free the original stuck train.
[28:21] the nearest station, they both their tenders both derail. they both their tenders both derail. They are not having much luck. I guess because the rail lines are frozen and it's
[28:37] caused them to buckle somewhat. Yeah, the or maybe just not not having enough or maybe just not not having enough traction.
[28:53] Mostly speculation on my part, obviously.
[29:23] of pro- this. Let's
[29:39] with kids. a a thick And a
[30:07] with the kids. miss thick.
[30:28] So, on on March the 10th, the 458 41 20 taken to the nearest of some of the crew that have been on duty for a week. Wow.
[30:49] They would have blown out their fatigue management rules. Definitely. stuck. As a 458 heads a back up the line to free them. Of course at that point they wouldn't be
[31:03] Of course at that point they wouldn't be doing fatigue management because
[31:48] The crew really after all the managers give up and walk back into town. give up and walk back into town. That is perfectly understandable.
[32:04] There. Copy that.
[32:29] Superintendent gets his train freed and the line is finally open again. trust the line till the weather gets better.
[33:08] I do that I get scared that it's going to break.
[33:25] Good advice. Okay, let's do my stretches. stretches. As normal for a Friday, no trackers. So, you'll just have to trust me as I
[33:38] you'll just have to trust me as I make noises as I stretch.
[34:39] adhesive back Velcro strips to to re-anchor my pedals
[34:53] on my computer. I only needed four actually five but the smallest pack I could buy of
[35:05] adhesive Velcro strips was 48. was 48. So I now have
[35:20] extra Velcro strips. I don't know what I can can don't know what I'll use for them for.
[35:34] put them in the house's workshop and my housemates can find a use for them. I'm sure sure they will be able them. I'm sure sure they will be able to.
[35:51] with those strips. True, but I mostly use uh either Blu Tack either Blu Tack or double-sided removable tape.
[36:05] or double-sided removable tape. So it double doesn't damage the walls.
[36:31] actually thinking about the posters that I do have. What do I have? I do have. What do I have? I've got
[36:47] poster. Uh that's it at the moment. What What am I going to put up all my other I think I took a lot down when I was sort of like
[37:02] working from home and often to think ill of me.
[37:16] But now that I don't have to worry about that, I should put up more of my arts. And things I have.
[37:30] Get this back into being full weeb
[37:47] slip her. Yes.
[38:06] Then there is some sort of crisis with the kids and they go missing. All right. Uh we need the
[38:27] who is apparently the main romantic interest.
[38:56] Looks uh incredibly subjective. he just looks That's the love interest, yes.
[39:14] He just looks incredibly plain to me.
[39:43] he does look like the human equivalent of white bread.
[39:55] I think that's kind of the
[40:11] white bread story. Then there is some sort of crisis with the kids and they go missing.
[40:26] the kids and they go missing. Protagonist comes to realization
[40:46] Think. Think. depth of a puddle. Yeah. Protagonist comes to re-
[41:18] Like that. Like that. Play. Now, this has to be quicker, so
[41:45] Forward one frame. Flip thumb. Protagonist Move back like that.
[42:16] So, you see, the protagonist good. in interpolation.
[42:31] So, we fire up the spline editor. Let's merge.
[42:54] Cusp. And it'll look like like this. So, See, protagonist comes to realize
[43:44] Having them slightly out of sync help for the frantic efforts.
[44:49] All right, let's see how that comes out. Missing, protagonist comes to realize realization that she really loves the kids.
[45:05] We can merge the kids back in at this point, they're being mentioned. So, we do a little bit of say and see how the kids
[46:03] Merge, emerge over there. Marries the priest, gets gets the kids back.
[46:21] Priest gets the kids back, and this is the
[46:35] We stick.
[47:04] But, we're going to use a really obnoxious font.
[47:45] quiet. That's good for everyone.
[48:17] >> That one looks too too fun. Yes. The maximum irony.
[49:44] and set the color space to a hue-based one.
[50:40] That was weird. weird noises, things moving about
[51:12] cheesy enough to hopefully that people realize it's realize it's quite ironic.
[51:29] hopefully the vocals will carry the message.
[51:50] the kids and they go missing. Protagonist comes to realization that she really loves the kids, marries the priest, gets the kids back and this is the happy ending. The bus trip ended just as the movie ended.
[52:06] So, I had the entire ride Why is my audio So, I had the entire ride
[52:20] entire 14-hour Okay. I think to edit around. Let's
[52:41] that video track off. So, I had the entire ride So, I had the entire ride entire 14-hour train ride
[53:02] oopy ended. So, I had the entire ride entire 4
[53:33] Don't like that. Okay, switch
[53:48] >> like that.
[54:07] I had the entire 14-hour train ride back to think about the movie.
[54:29] movie. I had to think about this movie. Okay.
[55:03] Well, no.
[55:21] train ride back to think about this movie. It was something that just kept going
[55:36] at the station and getting on it. But, that will be in individual Oh, not individual. Sorry.
[55:51] Blender, which I will capture set up for. But, I think Yep. I think stretch time and also end of stream time. I think we got to a nice natural ending point
[56:07] here. So, end of the movie and end of the stream as well. And then the rest is me talking about And then the rest is me talking about the
[56:22] There we go. All right, it's my OBS. There it is.
[56:36] All right. That works. Thank you, everybody for joining me as I edited.
[56:51] edited. Tomorrow, we will be doing some space Tomorrow, we will be doing some space exploration in Kerbal Space Program. Thank you for joining me and if this is the first time watching,
[57:03] although everybody here is definitely not your first time watching, please consider subscribing and I hope to see you later. Bye-bye. Oh, I waved my hands, but I forgot I don't have trackers on at the moment.
