The War on Science (live version)

Howdy folks! Barring any surprise major mistakes, this will be the live version of the video that will be going out soonish. Thank you!

The War on Science

Hi folks! Sorry about the delay between uploads, this one jumped to the top of the queue & as you can see it is quite the monster. 4 hours!

This version is relatively low-res & only has the bare minimum of visuals in there in order to understand what I'm talking about. I imagine some long quotes might be hard to follow without the text there, but they'll all have visuals when it goes live. It's also too quiet, apologies - I selected the wrong option on export & it takes all ...

Stellar Blade: The Fake Outrage

Hello folks! New vid new vid. Two whole hours of silly culture war nonsense, oh no

Apologies for being slow with this one, I caught covid a couple of months ago & was left with a bad chest infection that prevented me from recording audio, which was very frustrating. Finally better now, thank god. I did get a lot of reading done for future videos while resting up at least

Credits & thumbnail to come. May tinker with the audio levels a bit too

Feedback very appreciated...

Palestine (live version)

Hello folks! This is the updated version of the Palestine video. This will be going live in a few hours probably unless anyone finds anything egregiously wrong with it.

Thank you for your support, as always

Shaun

Palestine, backer version

Hello!

Sorry this video took so long. I was making a different one and had to interrupt it to write about the situation in Gaza, as I couldn't think about anything else

This is a very early version visually, most of the images aren't in yet so some parts (long quotes etc) may be hard to follow. Patreon thanks/thumbnail/video description to come

I'm going to try to take a break from big sad projects and focus on shorter fun ones for a while. I'd like to get more videos finish...

I went to a Let Women Speak event

Hello!

Little patreon-only video sharing some thoughts about attending the counter-protest to a recent Kellie-Jay Keen event.

Thank you all for your support as always,

Shaun

Kellie-Jay & the Neo-Nazis (backer version)

Hello all!

Early version of my next video for all you lovely folks. Nightmare, this one. Accidentally spent entirely too much effort on it imo. 

Notes very welcome. If the colour of any images seem a little weird, that will be fixed in the live version (editing software not playing nice with image formats). The patreon thanks/credits aren't in yet, along with some extra images that will be added near the end of the video & one or two other things I may change, but everyth...

Vid update:

Howdy folks! Just a little work update

I have a few projects nearly complete, but i'm putting everything on hold to work on something i feel is very important but very time and energy intensive (watching the entire livestream archive of a very prolific transphobe)

There will be a video at the end of it, but yeah: this channel has hundreds of videos, so it's taking me a while to get through. I thank you for your patience~

PragerU on Fathers

Hello folks,

Hope you're all well. I made a little PragerU response video. Just a lil fun one

I still have that predator video on the shelf, but i'm in two minds about it atm, think i might need to take a different approach to it. Besides that I have a few other things coming - i might put out that video about one of my favourite anime shows next. please don't all leave if i start talking about anime

Thanks as always,

Shaun

Early version of new vid!

I was going to take a longer break from making videos but then I wrote this by accident. I know I said the next video was going to be about predator, but then this topic grabbed me

Just audio for now. All feedback very welcome! Tate is utterly awful but I go easy on him at the top of the video to not scare off any of his fans who wander through by accident. A few additions to come, in addition to the visuals

Thanks folks!

Howdy folks! lil update

I have a video nearly ready to go out, but I gotta admit: I'm burnt out at the minute and just can't handle the stress of releasing it right now lol. So I'm gonna pause billing for a while and take a break and come back to it in the new year, I hope that's okay. I'll resume billing after I return & put this one out

This is just a fun movie one, but I have a bunch of longer projects in the works that are kinda spiralling and getting out of control. I think after I take a break I'll t...

New vid~ JK Rowling's New Friends

this one should be good to go out soon, assuming nobody spots any massive errors with it

vids update: I have a few longer projects in the works, but they were taking a while & i was feeling bad about not having put out a vid in a while, so i swapped to this one, which i convinced myself i could finish quickly. surprisingly it turned out to be longer and more complicated than i initially planned. this happens with every single project but is always a surprise somehow

thanks as ...

bbc response #4

Howdy folks! yet another bbc response, eh

There's a few pix missing from this, & i'll sort the video description and thumbnail for the live version. also the fancy new art by skutch is a lower resolution version, but the live vid will have a higher quality version of it

let me know what you think! excited for a future where this article is gone and i can stop thinking about it

thanks all

lil vid about ex machina

howdy folks! i've wrote a short (for me) vid about the wikipedia plot summary of the movie 'ex machina.' here's an early audio-only version. full version incoming when i can get the darn clips past the cursed youtube copyright system. might just use screenshots

i've been working on a few longer projects lately but was having trouble committing to one to finish, so i decided to change things up and make a shorter less-serious vid instead. the bbc just put out a response to the ecu compla...

(hopefully) final harry potter video

howdy folks!

here's the harry potter vid, updated with pix & a few additions. barring any major editing errors i didn't spot, this will be the version that goes live

i really hope the next thing i write is shorter, these long videos are real bastards

thank you very much :)

edit: noticed an error, fixed in this new version

early harry potter video

very early! basically a podcast. there's no visuals other than the wonderful background. i think it mostly makes sense with just the audio for an early peek, though

still got to add a full conclusion, but script-wise this will be close to the live vid

any thoughts would be very appreciated! 

thanks,

shaun <3

early version of video about recent bbc transphobia

Howdy folks! Quick video about an article that really annoyed me. Content warning for sexual assault, transphobia & transphobic violence

Title, video description (inc content warnings) and real thumbnail to come. No credits for this one as it's only short

Any feedback appreciated as always

Thanks,

Shaun

hopefully live version of next vid~

in a shocking, unprecedented turn of events, this video ended up being longer than i expected it to be. amazing

added what was missing, made a couple of minor additions & clarifications. any further clarifications can go in the video description, this'll go live soon unless there's a last-minute mega-emergency.

EDIT: i say vaccinated instead of unvaccinated one time, so i reuploaded the vid with a lil annotation

thanks folks <3

(most of a) new video, hurrah

howdy folks! here's the first half an hour or so of my next video, which is about jimmy dore's anti-vaccine videos

for people saying they can't find the link, there should be a big thumbnail above this post that you can click on. for anyone not seeing that, here's the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j591l65o19M 

there's probably 10-15 minutes missing from the end of this version. that pa...

Shorter video suggestion box post~

Howdy folks! 

As I'm taking a temporary break from working on longer (& more depressing) videos, I thought I'd make a post on here that people can respond to with suggestions for shorter (& less depressing, hopefully) projects. 

Anything in particular you'd like to see me talk about? If so, leave a comment below & let me know! Ty~

quick discworld vid

experimenting in making shorter, less taxing videos! woohoo. this one's about the recent twitter talk about terry pratchett's discworld novels

there's no outro, there's a lil audio missing, & checking it thru it needs a few small changes. video description ofc. and a title. ha. all will be fixed for the live version

opinions and comments very welcome

thanks folks!

prageru & the law

Howdy folks! new vid new vid

I had a big project in the works which stalled out near completion - the series about capitalism i talked about a while back became one big video (i can't write a series, apparently, lol) but then i got the ol' creative block and got too anxious to put it out

so it's on the shelf briefly, which i try to get back in video-releasing mode with some less stressful ones, like this prageru nonsense! enjoy~ comments very appreciated

to do: a couple audi...

The 1776 Report: backer version

edit x2: i swapped the vid out for a less blurry version

Hello folks! New vid new vid. Feedback appreciated as always. Sorry I missed my deadline on this one, it ended up being 3x as long as I expected it to be :(

Some notes:

- That’s not the real conclusion, ha. Proper title/credits/video description to come with the live version

- There’s a few minor script changes to come, possibly some larger ones in response to any feedback people may have. Also some pictures ...

an asteroid hit me

not really. i previously rather confidently stated my 1776 commission video would be up for backers by the end of the month. but, to my shame: it isn't quite there, and i'll need an extra couple of days

my apologies, folks. i have no real excuse, i simply hit on a better way of arguing my case fairly late into development, which is nice, but that required me to change up the structure of the script and i'll have to rerecord a fair bit of the audio.

sincere apologies. video incomin...

lil update! also ask me q&a questions plz

Howdy folks. Little update so's you know what I'm up to this month:

I'm back to working on vids, firstly a short vid about trump's 1776 commission. That'll be out this month, sans an asteroid hitting me or something. Still working on that series I spoke about a while back, but that'll be huge, & I think I should try to do a couple of shorter vids before settling into a big project again. I'll keep you posted as to what I work on after this next vid is out.

Also: there's a sub ...

atomic bomb live version :eyes:

This is the version of the atomic bomb video that will (hopefully) go live later on today. Various small visual and audio fixes, & a few additions based on feedback.

Thanks again for all your support while I worked on this video. I'll return in the new year with some shorter projects. I have one other large video project in the works, the series I have posted about before, but I think I need to take a break from the big projects and work on some smaller things for a while. Open to a...

atomic bomb: backer version

Howdy folks! Here's the early version of my video about the atomic bombings. Feedback would be lovely ~

processing is being slow so the higher resolutions might take a little while to be available

This was a nightmare to put together, ha. Once the live version is out (sometime early next month) i'll be hitting pause on my patreon for a month and vanishing for the holidays. When I return it will definitely be with some shorter projects 

Changes/additions to come:

-...

Howdy folks

I'm back to video work this month! Hurrah, etc. 

I was feeling a little burned out working on the video series I've mentioned before, so I've put that to one side for the moment in order to work on a video about the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A rather grim topic, & I hope I'll do it justice. I think it's turning out well so far, anyway. 

My hope right now is that it will be out within a few weeks, barring any huge upsets. Though 2020 has been a f...

Lil update

Howdy folks! I have paused my patron billing for the next month, as i'm taking a short break from working on video scripts. Nothing to be worried about, just need to take a breather before coming back with ~fresh eyes~

Thanks,

Shaun
