Let's kick things off with this little making-of video of the episode guest starring Randi. It's one of the bonus features on the DVD, so if you own that you may have seen it. But I thought I'd post it here as a test for sharing videos on Patreon. It's an unlisted link from my YouTube channel - people can't find it unless they know the exact URL. So please don't share, otherwise it defeats the whole purpose of rewards for your fellow patrons. By the way, just a couple days ago, Randi announced his retirement from the James Randi Educational Foundation. It's an end of an era!

There's Sean! What a blast from the past - I remember the first conversation I had with him at Dragon*Con, about how he... didn't quite sound American. When he said he was from Singapore, we were yelling "WHATEVER LAH!" "ANYTHING LOR!" for a solid minute. Ah, third-culture kids... How much storyboarding do you do?

He's a character. Was very very helpful and made the shoot fun. You know, I rarely storyboard. Most of the videos (so far) don't have overly-complicated cinematography so we get by without it. But I do write a script, a proper movie-format script for every video, making it as detailed as I can. Once I start producing the video, I lose all frame of reference so I have to rely on the script in the hopes that what I'm filming/editing is at least slightly coherent!

I don't mean to be a D of another sort here, but isn't it 'make do', not 'make due'?
