Year-end Video-update

Hi everyone!

I've been working on the VFX of the next video (which will be a CD/ episode) throughout December. As the graphic above illustrates, I'm on shot 68 out of 86! I hoped to get it out before the 1st, but I'm just not fast enough.

Don't know about you, but '23 has strangely been a year of exhaustion for me. Like one of those dreams where you can't run fast. No matter how short/simple I tried to make my video projects, each one unfolded into a super-complicated process. Even more than usual! I clearly need to change something fundamental about the way I approach making stuff. Really want to do better in the new year!

On the bright side, this new vid IS coming out soon and it's turning out pretty fun, IMO.

Thank you as ever for your continued support!

Hope you're all enjoying the holidays!

"I clearly need to change something fundamental about the way I approach making stuff." This step, and recognizing the need for it, is the step to mastery of your craft.

well you could just fight your own nature and violate your deeply held principals and take short cuts that you know you won't be satisfied with so that eventually someone else will start making videos of how crappy your work is and make a ton of money in the process. or...not. or find the time consuming parts or things that can be good instead of perfect and delegate them and hopefully open yourself up more to the creative part of the process. I'm sure it's just that easy. Thanks man for all you and your crew do!

Don't burn out! Also consider doing more Youtube Shorts! You can even go back historically and clip some of your older stuff.

As others here says, don't burn yourself out trying to outperform yourself. You're good, and we know it.

Happy new year Cap'n! :)

100%. A slow drip of videos is far preferable to a creator who burns himself out trying to produce faster

Lucy Franklin

Looking forward to it, but it's always worth waiting for. Happy new year!

No need to rush yourself. One of the best things about your content is how insanely polished it always is!

Yeah, Sure

Your videos are always worth the wait! Follow your creative instinct wherever it takes you. We'll be looking forward to the results.
