Hey Patrons,

This is not official "noclip" business but as you know a few months ago we founded our video production company Secret Tape and it's finally time to show you what we've been working on for the past 7 weeks or so.

Yes that subject line is real.

Yes I'm still freaking out about it.

Yes, maybe I cried a little bit.

There's a lot to talk about - and I'll do a Patron Exclusive Q&A video on it next few days once the dust has settled, so please post your questions in the comments below so I can answer them in that Q&A. We're also thinking of doing a Director's Commentary over it.

For now, I just want you to enjoy what we made. I'm incredibly proud of it, and our incredible team who put it together. And sorry we've been slow on the Patron content for the past 7 weeks - I hope it now makes a bit more sense.

Thank you all so much. You've made my dreams come true a few times over at this stage. I cannot thank you enough for all the help and support you've given me over the years.

We'll talk again soon. Enjoy the doc.
