Hey folks!
Here's the backer version of the next video, about recent progressive commercials and the way they channel the culture of social media. This version doesn't have music and I haven't added the credits yet, because I'd like to add those things during the next editing stream to show how I select and edit music and sound effects, and to make sure I have everyone's name right. The stream should be at 8:30 PM UK time this Wednesday, and I can't wait to see you there!
This is the first sponsored video I've ever done - it's for curiositystream, a streaming service for documentaries. I'm sure you're aware I'm very critical of sponsorships, so it's taken me a long time to find someone I'm comfortable being sponsored by who offer a service I could actually recommend, and I deliberately pushed the boat out with this one by being thoroughly anti-brand to test the limits of what's acceptable and ensure I'm not curbing my message at all. And it seems, weirdly, to have worked out!
There's a long sequence I cut about the guy who tweeted a picture of his gillette in a toilet, which I'm gonna put up for you all soon, and I am working on changing my Patreon goals and rewards around soon and make a more general update. I want to give people a way of voting on what video I work on because I have so many things I want to do and so many things I've said I'd do, and at this point I could appreciate the direction :)
Let me know any notes you have on this video, because I can make changes during the editing stream.
love
