Video Progress Update 6/30/2024

Hey everyone,

Hope you all are well. I wanted to drop in and let you all know how this upcoming video is progressing.

Those of you who recall last month's update may remember that the focus at the time was revising an early section of the video, namely chapters 2-3. I'm happy to report that a lot of the problems have been alleviated, and this section no longer loses the steady pacing and momentum that the video starts with, due to a pre-prioritization of information. Ryan is currently updating the phenomenal score for these chapters so they can be watched in a more final form.

For the past week or so, I've been re-working chapter 4. This chapter has been another tricky one, as I take a detour from the main story in order to provide some historical context, and going back in time a few decades to do so (similar to what was done for the Sri Chinmoy section in the Rama video). I've had to go through a lot of versions of this chapter before I found one that felt right, but I believe I'm finally there.

As you may remember from the last update, this video contains 9 chapters. To give you an idea of where I'm at: the narration has been recorded and the visuals edited for the first 5 chapters (although 4 and 5 are undergoing revisions). Chapters 6 and 7 are partially finished, and chapters 8 and 9 still need to be written although they are heavily outlined.

By the next progress update, I expect to be finished with chapter 4 and working on revisions for chapters 5-7. The finish line is in sight although the distance to it is difficult to measure. I am working as quickly as I can, but as you know, the goal is the best work I can make, not the most punctual.

Thank you all very much for your support in this. I could not ask for a better audience to make these videos for.

Til next time,

AG
