Jon Snow video update (Patreon)

The Real Jon Snow video is in the final stage of video production! All the research, writing and visual design is done – now it's just a process of assembling the pieces into a video. There's a rough edit done of the first 30 minutes – and about 100 minutes more to edit. I think the video will be done in 2-3 weeks.

Here’s a fun little preview from the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k58r_4Wh0Y4

We commissioned artist Ertaç Altınöz to illustrate a climactic moment in the video – visualising a theory on how Jon's story might end... Ertaç does wonderful work, and his art was heavily featured in George Martin's book Rise of the Dragon. So this is a very special piece – Ertaç is doing the final touches now, and it looks amazing :)

We’re using a different video editing workflow for this video, so you might notice the editing style is a little different – less freeze-frames, more continuous live video clips. It’s been an interesting learning process – and ultimately it’ll speed up the editing for future videos.

Last week, we made a short video listing all of the current Game of Thrones spinoff shows in development. It’s a fun challenge making a 60-second-long video – and it’s nice to make some quick easy videos in-between long video essays. So we’ll make more short videos occasionally – maybe some Dune lore shorts would be cool.

Dune Part Two is coming out on Feb 28th. I plan to do some livestreams to discuss first impressions, and to compare the movie to the Dune book... But I'll think about Dune once the Jon video is done.
