Video Progress 8/14/23

Hey everyone!

It's been a while since my last progress update, so I wanted to check in. I’m happy to report that the video is coming along very well–overall better than expected. I’ve secured interviews (one of them in person) and I’ll be spending some time learning the equipment and doing a mock interview so I can get the sound and lighting right for the day of.  I'll be sure to write about how it went afterward. 

This topic has been very challenging, perhaps the most challenging I've ever faced. Hard topics are usually a good thing, but I worry that some of the aspects of this subject are beyond my comprehension, either because I lack that background knowledge (and won't be able to devote the years it would take to obtain it for this video) or because they are deliberately obtuse and mysterious, or more likely a combination of both. But I'm trying to hold my vision for the video always in mind, like a beacon that allows me to navigate my way through the research. There's always a course to steer by. And like I said, I think things are going quite well, so no reason to worry. 

In other news, it's been brought to my attention that rapper Danny Brown is a fan of the channel, and shouted us out on a recent episode of his show, saying we were one of his favorite channels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSSUR-AWKfE&start=2334
This was cool to hear because I really like his music, especially the Atrocity Exhibition album

That's all for now. I'll be doing another progress update after the interviews have been conducted. I should have a better idea of the workload in front of me, and the vision for the video should be much clearer.  As of now, I'm aiming for a late autumn/early winter release. Maybe toward the middle of November, if all continues to go well? More on that later. 

Thank you all for everything. Til next time,

AG
