Call for Questions! (August 2018)

Hello $5 Patrons!

As you know I am knee deep in nappies (diapers to our North American friends) and busy sleeping in 3 hour chunks in between feeds. Our baby girl is pretty chill though so we have been able to get out of the house and breath some fresh air every once in a while. More importantly I've almost completed Bloodborne and have fallen head over heels with Dark Souls. Though from the sounds of it FromSoftware love our stuff but sadly don't like doing interviews so don't expect that one...

What Should we do with Production Classes?

Hey folks!

So last year we added a funding stretch goal of $25k for production classes. The plan was to create a number of videos about the production of our docs. Everything from lighting to shooting, to editing and all the way down to creating thumbnails.

We didn't reach that goal - in fact our funding has sort of drifted up or down between the 23k-20k mark for the past year. We're very fortunate to have that funding and I'm incredibly grateful, but as we look towards the start of year...
