Video Progress 12/12/21

Hey everyone! 

The upcoming video is coming along well, and I just wanted to give everyone a quick progress update since it's been a while. 

As I mentioned in my last update, I've been working on multiple projects at once, with the expectation that one would emerge as the primary project. This has happened. There was a topic that I thought was a relatively simple story with a small cast of characters that has ballooned into a multi-faceted saga, so it's become my main focus. It's looking like it'll be somewhat similar to the Breatharians video in that it'll be examining the history of a bizarre niche subculture--looking at it from different angles, different points in history, and telling the origin stories of a handful of notable characters in order to form a complete picture. 

Whereas the morality in the Breatharians video was pretty clear-cut, this topic is more gray. There are notable charlatans , and definitely victims of certain scammy aspects, but lots (maybe even most) of the people involved seem genuine and sincere. But the ultimate takeaway message will be left for the viewer to decide. I don't like to force a viewpoint on the audience; I'm just here to tell the story. 

More and more, my brand of videos seem to be character-centric, and although there are lots of notable characters here, it's more idea-centric, and it'll feature a pretty wide cast. These videos are always lots of fun to make, and I feel like I'm really developing a sense for how to make it all coalesce into an entertaining story, so I'm really excited to share this one. 

I was hoping to have the video out by the end of the year but I think it'll be January, and realistically, probably toward the end of January. But I can already feel this will be a strong one, so hopefully it'll be worth the wait. 

Really hope everyone is doing well! My part of the country saw some pretty catastrophic weather this past week, and I hope all of you out there in the same region are safe. <3

Til next time,
