Deleted Scenes – Automation

Ignacio Miranda Saldívar

Yes, I love the extra "deleted" scenes... besides that, I got to say that as a lawyer, I felt a little cold running through my spine... maybe I should be thinking how to beat machines in court.

Danny Lo

Absolutely amazing! You guys should've totally included it! Loved this video but am I the only one who got a bittersweet taste of it? I mean at the end of the day it'e 'renovate or die'. But it seems we'll be running out of options quite soon

Manuel

Oh please, do it more often.

I would love to see more deleted scene videos like this.

Marcos Welker

It must be crazy hard to choose what to cut out... :( Thanks for posting the deleted scenes and (by the way) I respect your decision. Keep the great work on making information accessible (not only public, but also easily understandable) to everyone!

Great clips. I really enjoyed this topic. I think keeping this kind of content off the main channel but releasing it as Patreon exclusives is the right idea.

Very nice to see the deleted clips, I would love to see more of these.

This was cool to see, i love seeing the practical applications of automation that i never would've guessed. It's a bummer to hear the follow up / addendum is scrapped but i respect and admire your dedication to quality!

Congratulations on reaching $30K!!! XD

I'd love to be able to show this to the attorneys in my firm.

Norm

$30K Target Breached! Congratulations Team K (I never spell it correctly). ;-)

Nice examples. Not that I care but I think I see pineapples

CJ Winslow

Would love to see the other previously killed video!

Matej 'Retro' Jan

Deleted scenes, yes! This is the perfect solution to this. Like those extra movie goodies on a DVD.

Fons Knaapen

Thanks for both quality over quantity and for these deleted scenes.

Sean Kau

I love the deleted scenes idea!

Great material, it would be a waste to hold it back let alone leave it on the cutting floor. "deleted scenes" are a great idea. Enjoying your work immensely.

Kay Brinkmann

I'm completely happy with your decision on that matter and am thankful that you still felt comfortable posting the deleted scenes here for us (which were awesome by the way). I also think the list video is a somewhat alien concept for your channel. Maybe an approach to this kind of content could be to use it as a sort of build-up prior to you main videos. That way you could "salvage" the stuff from the cutting room floor and put it into a teaser (à la "Five things you didn't know about automation") you post on you Facebook profile. Maybe even without narration and in the square aspect ratio to clearly separate it from you main content. And the last chart in the teaser could announce the new full video coming soon.

Joshua Bock

I really like this "delete scenes" video, and want to see more of these exclusive "deleted scenes" videos (assuming we encounter another video where you guys have a lot of content that was cut, that is.). I really like that your so focused on quality over quantity.

Caitlin Boulter

Really enjoyed this! I'd be excited to see more things like this in the future as well. It's so interesting to see the creative choices that go into what you do and don't keep. Thanks!

Adam Rak

as "delete scenes" go, this video is pretty high quality!

Taratsamura

I was so consumed by the video that i forgot, that its only "deleted scenes" and was surprised when it suddenly stoped. xD

Jesse Thompson

I am a big fan of "You know what, here is a bunch of extra content that we didn't finish (no sounds, maybe no narration, maybe even just storyboarded narration or something)" but we felt like we put enough effort into before cutting that we didn't want it to go completely to waste" getting posted on a second channel for your more hardcore fans to geek out over with less expectation of regularity or quality per frame or anything frontline like that. :D

Great choice! Keep up the good work! :)

George datseris

Perfect ! thank you !!

I love to follow your thoughts, attempts and doubts and I appreciate your decision not to make a second video when it doesn't feel right for you, keep being guided by your principles!

Yes Show us the video you killed last year! I think you made the right choice, I do enjoy seeing the cuts you left out just as a video like this.

Would really like this patreon method, so we the patreons get this extra, since we clearly have a strong interest in as much as you are producing :D

Lines of Desire

We voted for the extra content and you gave us the extra content and I hope in a way that didn't make you feel like it took away from your channel. Live it thank you for your weekend, that's just above and beyond

Rob

Nice bits! Thanks for sharing some scenes from the cutting room floor. Can't wait to have robot pizza in London!

Brian Shannon

Great compromise sharing the deleted scenes here. I know it is so hard to create something and have to cut parts that you spent many hours on. But that is editing, and editing is key to powerful videos! Thanks!

Well that's the right decision in my opinion, I didn't like the automation video very much .. there is a positive and negative aspect to each topic and it was heavily focused on the negative side! I am a network engineer currently learning automation to automate some task of my job .. it doesn't mean it will eliminate the need for network engineers but it will just change the way we do our jobs. Looking forward to see more videos about space. Thanks

That idea of having a second channel for these kinds of things sounds awesome!! Cheerio!

Matt Giraitis

Thank you. This was a great compromise and an excellent perk for your Patreon patrons!

Serious props for standing behind your quality. THIS is why we're patrons.

JockeTF

Awesome!

Erin McDonald

This approach to sharing was excellent! Thank you 😊

Yelahneb Unicornucopiax

Agreeing with the hivemind here - this makes for an excellent patron reward rather than having it out and about.

Brendan Mk

I think that's a great choice! Thanks a lot for the bonus footage as well, I think that's a perfect compromise!

Rangachari Anand

The pizza delivery scenario was eerily similar to that in Neal Stephenson's book "Snow Crash" from 1992. Loved your video incidentally.

Cristian Navarro Parraguez

Fair enough... you guys are the expert so if you didn't want something, probably you have good reasons. Pretty happy about having extra content tho!

Quality over quantity all the way! We need good quality forward looking informational videos.

Clifford Sherman

How about making a second channel you can call it Kurzgezagt's cutting room floor. You could post cut or deleted scenes along with commentary afterward by staff on why it was made and where in the process it was cut. You can even talk about where it may show up in the future. With the second channel you maintain the quality and feel of the main channel. Just remember that many backers and others out there are interested in more than the finished product. Creators that give a peek behind the curtain add a level of connection to patrons and other fans.

Dario

Wow.. please do post all your cut scenes here in the future. We are not an audience that will be bummed by less than perfect videos - we LOVE YOU!!

Steve Bonds

We love your stuff-- or we wouldn't be here. Your uncompromising dedication for quality over quantity is important. While a "list show" once in a while wouldn't upset me, it's definitely not the usual quality level. I think if that were made clear, it wouldn't create issue for your reputation. However, I also think that things end up on the cutting room floor for a reason. It's better for Kurzgesagt in the long run to err on the side of quality.

Thomas Boys

Also, the birds gathering for pizza night was adorable. ^_^

Love this idea, this way content created doesn't just have to be thrown out.

Thomas Boys

I'm cool with the quality vs quantity decision. But popping the bits and pieces on Patreon is a good compromise.

Yes please ! Share with us your deleted videos and scenes! I love your work

Youlia Hadzhidimova

Your animation is so awesome that it's a shame if you make stuff and nobody gets to see them. Best if you can find deleted segments a home in a future video, but until you do - yeees, post them here!

Adam Spangler

YES. Dump deleted scenes on Patreon. I am supportive of this idea.

These scenes were important. You provided thorough concrete examples of how automation is a threat RIGHT NOW and you made the point that once one company automates, all will follow to stay competitive. Important stuff.

And YES, this is awesome. Please share ALL your deleted scenes here for us paying special people :)

So what you're saying is…don't share this video?

Totally understand! Thanks for sharing the deleted scenes.

Yoldark

Let us see what it worth, you may be in a bad position to judge properly your work.

Nils Rohwer

Wonderful and fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
