Next Video is Nigh

Hey everyone!

As the title suggests, the new video is nearly upon us! We are still about 2-3 weeks away, but we're on the final stretch. 

I think this will likely be the longest one to date, landing somewhere around 55-60 minutes, although that could change as I make the final rounds of revisions. In this stage, it's not unusua...

Video Progress 12/12/21

Hey everyone! 

The upcoming video is coming along well, and I just wanted to give everyone a quick progress update since it's been a while. 

As I mentioned in my last update, I've been working on multiple projects at once, with the expectation that one would emerge as the primary project. This has happened. There was a topi...

Upcoming Video Update

Hey everyone,

Progress on the next video(s) is coming along at a daily basis and things are going well! 

At the time of my last update, I was working on multiple projects simultaneously. As of now, this is still very much the case. The only difference being that one of the topics has made its way to the backburner while a totall...

Progress Report 10/27/21

Hey everyone,

Hope you all are well. I wanted to give everyone an update as to the progress of the upcoming video. At this point, I've narrowed my list of potential topics to two: 

The first is admittedly a bit controversial, and it's one I've had on my list for a while. I know for certain it will make a compelling video, probab...

Hey everyone, 

So happy to share this new video with you all! Please let me know what you think. It'll be releasing publicly tomorrow.

Thank you all for everything, and I'll see you in Discord! :)

Next Video is IMMINENT

Hey everyone!

This will likely be the last video update before release, as I am expecting the next video will be out within 2 weeks! 

About the only things left to do are to finish the music (which, I know I say this every time [but it's true every time], feature some of my favorite work Ryan has done for the channel), finish ed...

Progress Update 8/15/21

Hey everyone, 

Progress on the upcoming video is going extremely well. I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a video release. It'll be quite a bit different from anything I've done before, both in terms of story and tone. I don't want to overhype it, but I definitely feel like this upload will be one of the flagship ...

Next Video Progress

Hey everyone!

I figured it was time to give an update on the upcoming video, which is going really well. 

I really love this topic, and I'm excited to share this story with you all. The process for writing this script has felt a lot more effortless than some recent ones have, which I think is a good sign. Everything seems to be ...

Hey everyone! Next video is well underway and it's a good time to touch base with you all.

As I mentioned in the last update, we'll be starting a new series soon where I tackle multiple stories in a single video, all revolving around a unified theme. I'm glad you all seem excited about that idea, and I want to thank you for all the feedbac...

Idea for New Series

Hey, everyone!

So for this next video, I'd like to try something a little different. 

I'd like to start a series in which each video covers several (4-5) unique stories that revolve around a unified theme. These videos would be normal length--likely 45 minutes or so, with approx 10 minutes devoted to each story. The stories woul...

Hey everyone, 

Just a quick update to let you know that the video is finished, aside from the last little bit of music which will be complete within the next couple days. I'll be uploading it unlisted probably Friday. While I'm waiting for monetization approval, I'll be writing the closed captions and finishing up the thumbnail, but i...

Progress Report 4/21/21

Hey everyone!

Hope you all are doing well. I thought I'd write an update on the upcoming video since things are going well. Lots of progress is being made daily, and I'm well into the editing phase of the video. Should only be a few more weeks, realistically, before it's ready for beta watching and final revisions. I think you all will enj...

I'm deep into the research and writing phase for the upcoming video, so I thought I'd write a brief progress report and touch base with you all. This might also be a good opportunity for some transparency of my process as well, for those who are interested. 

At this point, the story has pretty well taken shape, and...

Hey everyone!

The next video is nearly upon us! I'm finishing up the last section now, and Ryan is in the middle of recording the score--which, I have to say, is his finest work yet. Then, I'll have a couple people beta watch it in order to give their opinions, make some revisions for improvement if necessary, make a thumbnail, and submit ...

Wiley Brooks Deleted Scenes

Hey everyone!

Just for fun, I thought I'd share some deleted scenes from the Breatharians video which didn't make it into the final draft. It's a slightly more in-depth look at Wiley Brooks' McDonald's obsession. I ended up condensing this section and moving it to the end due to its downright ridiculous nature conflicting with the tone/moo...

Next Video Underway!

Hey everyone, 

Just wanted to let you all know that the next video is currently in progress. I'm really enjoying the dive into this saga, which is more historic than most of my subjects (aside from James Hampton), but still has a scope that stretches many decades in total. It's a bizarre story, one that many of you may not have heard ...

Almost Finished!

Hey everyone! 

New video is in its final stages and should be out within a couple weeks. The runtime is going to land between 45 minutes-55 minutes. And believe me when I say each minute is densely packed. It is a neutron star of a video. Ryan's music is also excellent, as always. 

Like I mentioned to some of you in Discord...

Video Progress as of 7/23

Hey, everyone! Hope you all are well! 

The next video has entered the scripting phase. I'm working on the introduction/hook as we speak (which, along with the conclusion, is the section I tend to spend the most time writing), as well as developing an outline for the body of the video.

Just wanted to touch base regarding the next video, as it's been a while since I've written an update.
