On Making Video Essays
🕑 Added 2018-01-31 00:16:14 +0000 UTC This was supposed to be last week's video. And it was supposed to be very different.It was originally a fairly standard video about my process for making the nonfiction videos (like video essays). But then while finishing it, the video got me thinking about why I make video essays and my whole approach to them, and I had this realization that I realized I'd been building to for months.
Anyway, this meant I had to revamp this video because suddenly it seemed really lazy. But now...
1. This video is much better than it was before, and...
2. I think I know how I want to approach the nonfiction videos from now on. And I'm more excited about them than I've been in a long time.
The video that was schedule for this week? I'm not sure when it's going to come out. Maybe this weekend? It's big and complicated and (I think) pretty cool. Stay tuned.

A part of me was hoping this would be an Adaptation style meta story

Thanks Patrick. I always enjoy your video essays and hope this helps you write lots more of them. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing more of your parents and Blue Flame Specials.
This has totally inspired me to do a similar video on the comic drawing process... or maybe I should be doing that in comic format... hmm.
