Early Access & Apology

First, tomorrow's video is now available on frame, the video review platform where you can comment at particularly time markers for feedback: https://f.io/Xt0GKnXy

Secondly, I would like to apologize. I have no posted here for months, yet many of you have kept your patronage going. That is more than I deserve. 

The last few months I have found myself incredibly stretched. A lot has happened over the last 6 months. ...

[Early Access Script] Carbon Capture - Human's Last Hope

Here is the next script for our second video in March. Feel free to point out mistakes or improvements. This video is not due for release until the 22nd of March, so we have plenty of time to make changes. 

[Early Access Script] - The Problem with China's CRISPR Experiment

This is another script written with my brother. He has a PhD in genetics research, and I couldn't have made it without him. Let me know what you think!

[Early Access Script] Can We Block The Sun to Stop Climate Change

This is this weeks video, so not a whole lot of time to incorporate suggested changes. Going back to 2 scheduled videos a month for the rest of the year after this one, and ramping up to start the new year with 3 videos a month again. 

Why The US Airforce Ejected a Bear

Again sorry for the lack of a preview. We have two videos ready to go, so should have a week long preview for the next video on the A6M Zero. 

The Truth About Hydrogen

Once again finished this and reviewed the edit just a few hours before schedule. Finally properly back on schedule now. Won't happen again. 

New Video - Are Electric Planes Possible

Sorry for not posting a preview, the video was very animation heavy and I literally just finished it 30 minutes before it was scheduled to go up.

Let me know if ye have any questions. 

[Early Access] The Story of the Indestructible Nazi Death Castles

I hope your left ear likes this. Audio Editor is fixing sound effects and mastering narration for final draft now, goofed on the outro end cards too. Otherwise this is the finished product going up tomorrow. 

[Early Access] Hitler's Nazi Death Fortresses

The title is a sacrifice to the YouTube algogods.  Praise be Susan Wokcicki, patron saint of online video. 

[Late Access] How to Solve the Housing Crisis

Sorry for not posting this here for early access. I was on the road in Austria shooting for some projects, including my next video, and only manage to get the video uploaded a few hours before it was due. Let me know if any of you have feedback or questions

[Early Access] Pacemakers - How to Fix a Broken Heart

New video. New "vlog" will be uploaded shortly to accompany it. It's late, gooood night. 

Hydrogen - The Fuel of the Future?

Sorry for the delay posting here. Been out filming again in Guam. Just back now after our final day, working to finish the latest script for my next video "How to Find a Planet" 

[Early Access] The Truth About Wireless Charging

Huge thanks is needed to Mike from Mobox Graphics for this video. Mike is a fellow mechanical engineer and animator. 95% of the work for this video was done by him, including the writing and editing. I just did some minor editorial work and the narration. This allowed me to take my first proper holiday since starting the channel. That thanks is extended to all of you for helping to fund his employment. 

Hope ye enjoy the video, and as always let me know what you think.

New Video - A Sacrifice to The Algorithm gods

I owe ye many director commentaries. Thinking livestreams are probably the easiest way to do that and will allow ye to ask questions as I talk. What do ye think?

and here is the final version. Enjoy! If any of the $20+ people want the server code for Discord. Let me know!

Reward Change & Time Ghost Updates

Hey All,

Just a quick update for ye. I am changing the $20 reward for two reasons. 1. Because supporter Bo Miltenberger requested it 2. Because it makes no sense having a $20 reward for a $20 t-shirt. So, I am creating a discord server for $20+ patrons to chat with me, and each other. 

There aren't any major updates for the Time Ghost channel that we crowd funded for. Indy and Spartacus are taking the lead with the planning and are putting the funds...

Here is your updated spread sheet too: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ApmmZMf5KVTPuHzumoMJUT0X6wq3ir-TwWfs5rSedwg/edit?usp=sharing 

Going by the spreadsheet, I am losing a lot of money, but obviously I have other income sources from sponsorships and a small bit from YouTube ads. 

Will be sending out stickers and letters...

Real Engineering Expense Report

 Hello All,

As promised here is the expense report for Real Engineering production. I have only included expenses directly related to video production, as I feel flights, hotels ect. currently do not directly impact the content and shouldn't be included. Currently it shows a negative, but I don't want this to be perceived that I am losing money, as I obviously have other revenue sources, but Patreon helps massively with keeping the books green, especially as I continue to scale the busine...

Early Access - The Future of Wind Energy - Kite Power

Hello All,

Here is the early access for the next video. Particularly interested in hearing your thoughts on the integration with Shell.  This is the first corporate sponsorship I have agreed to, as it fit with the voice and style of my channel. Have been approached many times before by large companies, but they usually want me to say things I don't agree with. I think I approached this in a balanced and ethical way, but sometimes it may look differently from the outside.

The blank s...

Behind The Scenes - Real Engineering

Hello All,

I’m really excited to share this with you all. Last week I was at Vidcon and  finally met Mike, the animator who has been helping make Real Engineering better for the last few months. We got talking about creating more content for all you amazing people that are funding his work. So, we are starting this new series of videos that will give you a behind the scenes look at the animation techniques used on Real Engineering. This will be a Patreon exclusive for one m...

(Early Access) Why The US Military Made GPS Free-To-Use

Hello All,

Hope you had a pleasant week! Here's the early access to Monday's video. Few small animation and editing problems that I need to fix and may redo audio again.

Do let me know what you think. Constructive feedback is valued and welcome.

All the best,

Brian

Sorry for the radio silence!

Hello All!

Apologies for not posting this here and giving you a preview. I was busy shooting footage at the Shell "Make The Future" event when I uploaded. 

I figured I should give you all an update on what's happening on my end in a bullet point format, because my brain hurts from stress and writing is difficult. 

- Mike Ridolfi (From Mobox Graphics:  https://goo.gl/x7dFgK ) did most of the animations for ...

The Future of Airliners? - Aurora D8

Howdy Y'all,

Bit exhausted after this one. Rushed it out in 2 days.

No way I would have been able to get it done in time without your support. This was the first month your money went to a new hire. Mike helped massively with this video and my previous video.  

Thank you!

Let me know what you think.

What's The Biggest Machine In The World?

Y'all have seen the first draft already, but figured I should post the final version here. Hope ye liked it. 

Updates & the new member of Real Engineering

Hi All, 

Thanks to all your support I am able to bring in the first part-time employee for Real Engineering. This month I will be using the money you have pledged to hire Mike Ridolfi on a freelance basis. Mike runs the fantastic After Effects tutorial channel, Mobox Graphics, so he knows his way around animation, but more importantly he is a fellow engineer! 

Mike will now be helping create more of the videos you love and make them better than ever, while he has time outside o...
