Robin Hood, King Arthur, and Hollywood's Problem with Public Domain Characters
🕑 Added 2018-08-16 21:34:51 +0000 UTC AND WE'RE BACKIt's been a weirdly long gap between proper videos, but we weren't sitting on our asses twiddling our thumbs. Nope. Rest assured, I have been losing sleep and driving myself toward a nervous breakdown all to make those sweet, delicious videos you love (I kid, kind of).
This video is one I've wanted to make for a while. As soon as I saw the trailer for the upcoming Robin Hood, the whole idea came fully formed. But then there was a whole lot of research and writing.
I love the framing device we worked up for this one (shot at the New York YouTube Space), in which Jake and Chloe sort of reprise their characters from this video.
Beyond just this one, the reason for the gap between videos is that we've been working on a BUNCH of stuff. There's a new Patrick Explains (the longest one ever) already shot, coming later this month. And the next big video (hopefully coming next week) is already half-shot.
There is good stuff coming soon. But now I've gotta run to meet up with Jake and write a new short.
