Five videos coming: Wonders, Sunset Sea, S1E02, Recap, Stark history (Patreon)

There are now five different videos in production. Usually, I’d take it one at a time, but the multitasking is working pretty well lately ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One video is about the wonders of the world of ASOIAF, as listed by Lomas Longstrider. It’ll be very short, describing Lomas, and his wonders – the Wall, Titan of Braavos, Valyrian roads, bells of Norvos, Long Bridge of Volantis, Palace with a Thousand Rooms, walls of Qarth, and the speculative ones like the Great Pyramid of Ghis. This video will work nicely as a follow-up to the Essos & Sothoryos video.

The Sunset Sea / Elissa Farman video is basically done already, I’m just taking a little longer to think through the more ambiguous parts of Elissa’s story – Rhaena, Quaithe, dragon eggs, etc. This video is also a nice follow-up to the Essos one – we’ve covered the east, now we explore the west.

The S1E02 video is a follow-up to the S1E01 one. Lots of interesting stuff to cover in this episode – Cersei’s black-haired baby, ghost grass, moons-as-dragon-eggs, even more R+L=J foreshadowing… and some interesting changes from the books, like Joffrey and Robb’s rivalry etc. Still not sure how far we’ll take this retrospective series – but people are enjoying it so far.

Have also been working on a GOT S1-S7 recap. This is an essential video to release before the final season, and it’s obviously a big challenge to fit ~55 hours of TV into a ~15 minute video. The visual style needs to be changed – the usual ‘mind-map / mosaic / Pepe Silvia’ ASX style doesn’t suit a long linear story, so we’re using a more linear style, with lots of cut-out character images. This’ll be a unique video, and a special one.

The big Stark history video is more on the back burner. Still thinking about how to frame this video… it’s all very speculative and mysterious, with very few facts to work with. It’s tricky to choose which theories to cover, lest it balloons into a long confusing 25-minute video… It’ll be a cool video, but it’ll take time.

Have also been thinking about a GOT S1-S7 binge rewatch, and maybe some commentary kinda content. There isn’t time for an in-depth polished analysis of every episode, but maybe a brief video with a few thoughts on each ep… What do you think?

So, lots of content coming! Thanks for your support.
