Progress Update: 9/3/20
🕑 Added 2020-09-04 05:47:33 +0000 UTCThe script is coming along quickly, and it should be ready in the next couple of days. (I know I've said this before, but this time I'm much more certain) The most difficult parts are well behind me. However, this script has become an Everest that grows; where I once thought it would be half the size it is now, it will almost undoubtedly be longer than 20,000 words. For reference, the script for the Austrian Wine Poisoning was approximately 5,000 words. With that video at about 35 minutes long, it's reasonable to assume that this new video will be approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes long, give or take, and will make it my longest video yet, along with being the most complicated and difficult to write. I can safely say that while I knew this subject would be complicated and difficult, I hadn't anticipated to what degree.
However, finishing the script faster will not necessarily speed the release of the video because of the staggered way that it's being produced. Before, I would finish the script, record the narration, then send it to Ryan to have the music fitted to it. This time, he's writing the music alongside the script, and similarly, Arcaxon is making the animations as I write, and some work time is spent with them planning. However, this all means that, when the narration is recorded, there will be less time needed for editing. Arcaxon's graphic design will also cut down on editing time significantly.
As an aside, I'm considering a viewing party on my Discord server so that everyone can watch it together as soon as it's released and ask questions. If you're interested, please let me know in the comments of this post!
