SURPRISE VIDEO: THE CHICKEN BOMB IS REAL

Sorry I didn't get this to you sooner. I was going to put it out next week, but last week's video did so badly we thought we'd make it live today instead.

This is a bit of an experiment; seeing if we can do shorter, tighter, videos in-between the bigger ones. Obviously, an hour is a lot to ask of people's time, so we wondered if we sprinkle bite-sized vids in among the others then it might help overall. I'm really happy with it - it's a nuts topic, and it's got plenty of funnies in there. It feels like a nice antidote to the heavier stuff recently. Give it a watch. It's only six minutes!

Also! Corner Shop Corner is on the way, as is the full Igor Witkowski interview. Sanja's been doing the assembly edit this week of CSC - though we filmed it right after coming back from the Wolf's Lair, so she's having to edit around our heavy mood.

We're deep into planning our next big vid, though. We've now chartered our boat for it - with a captain and everything! It's going to be ridiculous. I'm very excited.

I just wanted to say... thank you for the feedback on the Poland/Russia/Solidarity border video. It can sometimes be a bit of a double-edged sword getting feedback - because often it's either conflicting with what we want to be doing, or because we've already figured it out ourselves. BUT! This was the best feedback we ever got, and it helped us realise where we'd gone wrong with it (primarily in the SEO/Thumbail/Title etc.). It has been a really useful exercise in that respect, and has also helped us realise how important it is to do some less impersonal stuff - and simply just hang out with you too.

Talking of...

Biffo's Brain tonight if you're in that tier. 7.30pm. As requested, I'll talk you through how I've been doing the graphics on the recent videos.
