The Real Jon Snow video is done!
This is the biggest Alt Shift X video ever.
It explores Jon’s full story in the published books, and speculates on how his story might end. I think this video captures the meaning of ASOIAF better than any other Alt Shift X video. I hope you enjoy it!

This is an early video release for Patreon supporters. If you see any visual glitches or errors, please let me know!

Believe it or not, we still have lots more to say about Jon Snow – some content was cut from this video to keep it streamlined. So after the video is released publicly, we’ll do a livestream to talk through the extra content and answer live questions.

This video features three new commissioned illustrations, made especially for The Real Jon Snow. Bella Bergolts made the main Jon portrait, with variations showing his scars and white hair. Sanrixian illustrated Jon’s spooky dream in the crypts. And Ertaç Altınöz made the spectacular illustration of Jon with Rhaegal. You’ll see other artist credits on-screen.

We also used some new AI image tools for this video, like Midjourney, Photoshop Firefly and Topaz AI. I try to be thoughtful and subtle with AI – using it mostly to edit and expand images, not to replace human art.

We used a different video editing program for this video – Premiere instead of After Effects. It was a difficult process to develop a new editing workflow. But this’ll make it quicker to edit videos in the future. The final video should look mostly the same as usual. But if you notice any differences, feedback is welcome :)

As part of the research for this video, we delved into topics like the ancient myths of Westeros, Tuf Voyaging, Benjen, Mance, Thenns… So we’ve got a bunch more videos already half-finished.

Also, Dune Part Two came out – so we’ll do a livestream to discuss first impressions, and to compare the movie to the book. I have a lot to say about Dune Part Two. And we’ve got several Dune videos half-finished – the Philosophy of Dune, Top Fighters of Dune… I also want to make The Real Dune Part Two, once the Dune Part Two Bluray comes out.

House of the Dragon Season 2 is also on the horizon…

So the Real Jon Snow was a massive project. Now that it’s done, I’m excited to complete and release those half-finished videos. Between ASOIAF, HOT D, and Dune, there's lots of cool stuff ahead.

This video was funded by you, the Patrons. Thanks so much for making this possible!
