Video Progress as of late-November

Hey everyone,

Production on the upcoming documentary continues with a couple milestones I’d like to share with you all.

The most recent interview has been completed to great success. Lots of unique information about the subject has been revealed, and I’ve already begun integrating it into the story. There were a couple of unfortunate audio pops where I believe the interviewee’s mic (maybe?) had an electrical short in it, but this isn’t as devastating as it might sound. My interviews tend to be long anyway (many of them last more than an hour), and I typically only end up using a fraction of what was recorded, so there is still tons of usable material, and the most essential stuff was luckily unaffected by the hypothetical short.

Another exciting development in production is that Ryan has begun work on the music. He’s only a few minutes in so far, but I must say, the vibe he’s striking is not only appropriate for the story but very unique for Atrocity Guide. I intend to work more closely with the music for this episode and really use the score to accentuate moments of tension and emotional catharsis. I’ve been working with Ryan for about 4 years now (since the beginning of production on the Phoenix Jones video in late 2019), and I’m happy to see that our creative collaboration is only deepening as time goes on.

At this point, the full story is in focus and the path to completion is clear, I just need to continue to work hard and make daily progress. I’ll check in again with another update sometime in mid-December when I hope to be even closer to the finish line. The ETA is likely to be very early 2024-- ideally mid-January--but I’ll touch more on this in a future update.

Thank you all for everything. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday season, and I’ll see you in Discord.

Talk soon,

AG
