Time Cards: July-October 2022

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't been keeping up with this lately. I'll try to get back on a monthly schedule when it comes to this.

The Cigarettes video was posted in the first week of July. A few days after that I began work on my Indians/Pilgrims project, which has been on my mind for about a year now. I spent 4 days visiting reservations in August and I took a mini Vegas vacation in September.

This project is the culmination of my "Jamestown Saga" - a tobacco company town which began 250 years of slavery and 400 years of conflict with native peoples.

This Indians/Pilgrims project has become a beast that cannot be tamed. The main video, discussing everything from Jamestown to the present, is currently 2h 25m long. Almost double my previous record, which was Cigarettes. I'm about 75% of the way through on the third draft. All that's left after that is music and a dozen watch throughs for errors.

But in addition to that, this video will have several followups - which have been filmed and are in various stages of the editing process.
1. A 3-minute terminology video explaining the difference between American Indian, First Nations, Amerindian, etc.
2. A 1-minute short on the Flight of the Nez Perces.
3. An 8-minute followup video on the War to Save the Buffalo.
4. A 12-minute Nebula-exclusive on Geronimo. (I might release this on Patreon as well if I'm allowed.)

After that, I am making a ~30 minute video on the Pilgrims, which I have only done cursory research on.

The hope was to have this main video out already so I could work on the Pilgrims video and have that out by Thanksgiving. But given how unexpectedly long this video has become, things needed to be shuffled around. Indian Removal should be out this week, the follow ups before Thanksgiving, and the Pilgrims before Christmas.

Thanks for being such loyal supporters and allowing me to spend four months making a feature-length Youtube documentary. 😅
