The final draft of the script is now complete.

I'm going to read it aloud to a few trusted friends to get their feedback, but beyond a few minor grammatical or wording changes, this is what it's going to look like. The word count only dropped by about 100, putting the script at around 8,400 words, so we're looking at a runtime of about an hour, though with the more generous time given to the music and visuals, it likely will be a bit over an hour. The topic is unreasonably complicated, making this perhaps the most difficult script I've ever written.

Ryan has already completed rough drafts of the music for a bit over half of the video, and once the final narration is recorded, I'll be handing it off to Arcaxon to start making the final animations, of which there will be many.

While I wait for them to finish their work, I'll be blocking out the editing, and if I finish this with time to spare, I'll be catching up on some overdue work, such as the LONG overdue Q&A videos and the audiobook for this month. I'll also be working on some other small projects and beginning preliminary research for the next video.

As for myself, taking weekends and not rushing has been doing wonders. I expect that if I keep taking care of myself like this, I'll be able to create content significantly faster in the future, and our new video production methods are allowing for much of the work from Ryan and Arc to be done long before editing even begins.

I'll let you all know when the narration is finished and cut together!
