I have FINALLY sorted the season 3 pictures in the Google drive into episode folders!
🕑 Added 2025-06-05 23:40:42 +0000 UTC...I am SO sorry it took me this long!!!! I got it in my head somehow that I need to fully know what episode every picture goes in before I can sort it out for you all but I still have a few pictures I haven't sorted into a definitive episode folder so I just have to put those in the main folder and update the sorting once I figure them out. (Also, if any of you happen to know where Naomi is wearing an orange jumper please let me know, I CANNOT find what episode that's from and it's driving me nuts!) I'm so sorry you've had to deal with the drive being so full and such a mess. I have to admit I got intimidated by sorting it and kept putting it off until I had my own folders sorted and ended up having my standards for when it's sorted well enough too high, LOL.
I have now edited in all the videos and pictures into the editing projects (I think, though I will still need to verify and go through it all to see if I missed something AND I need to re-sort most of what's going on in episode 1, the monster of a project that one turned out to be). My next order of business is rereading the comic and This Winter and putting in all the references to those that I want to include in the videos. When I put it that way it sounds like I've basically done nothing yet but I promise that I've done the majority of it now. Like I've said before, this season 3 project has just been so massive, I've had literally twice the amount of content (30 gigabytes more than last season!!) to deal with this time and I lost my mind a bit with putting the photos in, it was sooo tedious (and I still have to clean up episode 1).
All that's left for me to do until the episodes are finished enough to start posting:
- put in the comic comparisons
- put in the novella comparisons with more precise quotes etc
- get the rest of Merrick's quote voiceover recordings and edit those in
- put in the rest of all the comments I want to make (I do this as I rewatch the show a bunch and pause to edit, causing it to take like 3 hours to watch an episode LOL)
- record all my voiceover (I've done some of this here and there, usually I saved this to the very end but this time I've started earlier in case I get sick and lose my voice or something)
- put in the music & clean up the edit (this usually took me a bit under a week per episode as I was already uploading but this time I'd like to have episodes ready a little more ahead of upload time to avoid panic and last minute battles with Youtube's copyright system)
I know that sounds like I have a lot left to do and yeah, I do, but the worst is behind me (other than episode 1, which still fills me with dread whenever I think about facing it). I was so hoping that I would get this done this month but I am no longer as optimistic. I've noticed more people unsubscribing than usual lately and I do feel like I've let my audience down by being so slow but this is the best I've been able to do right now. I am so touched that you people have stayed with me here on Patreon even though I don't have all that much to offer here. I greatly appreciate you and you keep me going. I promise I'm working on it! Look, here's episode 4 that I've been working on today (and yes, you're seeing that right, it's feature film length at the moment. It should get shorter in the cleanup... I hope....):

Raph
Wow! I promise you, all you effort is not in vain. The finished product is amazingly thorough and a fantastic resource. 🫶 There is nothing like it out there.
