A Month in Review (Patreon)
Content
Week 1
I select the video topic and divide time between writing the script and psychologically psyching myself up for appearing on the H3 podcast.
Week 2
I travel to LA and appear on the H3 podcast. (If you were introduced to me there and decided to become a patron, welcome! And thank you so much for your support!). I spend 2 extra days in LA catching up with people I normally never get to visit.
Week 3
I land back home, directly into a puddle of flu, become extremely sick. In my zombie-like state, I resume writing the next video. Part way through prepping it, I realize that this particular topic deserves of a full month's effort, decide to postpone it until March and instead make something super simple for February.
Within a day of writing the "simple" idea, I turn it into something far more complex than the original one and refuse to admit that to myself.
I proceed to film over 3 hours of raw footage over the course of 3 different days (as opposed to the usual ~40 mins in one day).
Week 4
The cold, mathematical realities of the editing process force me to face the truth: there's no way I can finish this project by the deadline.
Why. Why do I do this to myself? I have no sense.
Still... I think the video is really weird and fun, and worth the wait.
Thank you for your patience.
