The Gap (Patreon)

Some episodes just kick my butt. Nothing about them feels easy. This month it's one of those. It's a bit longer than usual and I made the foolhardy decision to put a rather complicated CGI element into all the shots of me hosting on-screen (which normally have few or no effects at all). It took me over a week to get just those shots finished. Yesterday I completed the shorter of the two "breakdown" debunking segments. Now just the longer one remains.

It's the last gap to fill in the visuals of the episode and it's the heart of the whole video. (I'm fully aware that many viewers would rather I limited all my videos to this part and dispensed with all the other arty-funny crap :)

After it's done, there's still color-correction and sound design to work on, but it will be a welcome change of pace from repetitive compositing and animation tasks. 

I've had to push the countdown on my website back a couple days again... PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYONE.

I am genuinely looking forward to showing you this video though. I never know what will do well with an audience, but I personally like this one. Hope you will too.
