Animation for the next video is chugging along! Currently about half way done, just wrapping up the phase that I'm calling "Talkin' Week" and entering the phase that I'm calling "Flow Chartin' Week."
"Mappin' Week" is somewhere out there in my future, but I refuse t...

The animation for the next video is more than half way done. The end is in sight!
I tried to find a non-spoiler preview image for a little hint on the next video's topic, but it turns out *everything* is a spoiler, so here we go! Talkin' 'bout elections, talkin' 'bout politics, ...

Salut!
Currently down in the trenches animating the next video, which clocks in at a *ludicrous* 38 minutes.
By my calculations I'm about 30% of the way through the animation. That's always a deceptive number though, since the first half always takes a lot longer t...

I'm not even *REMOTELY* near the end of animating, but this is a little look at what I was working on today.
I censored something that would give away the literal name of the video, but... it probably doesn't take a genius to figure it out...

Weirdly, for the first time ever, the outro song I normally used got Content ID'd, incorrectly identified as an Indian pop song. I immediately filed a dispute, we're on week 2 of that, that's ongoing, whatever, I figured I'd replace the song and put out the v...

I tried to find a really good image that wouldn't give anything away, but then I failed, so now you get this one instead!

Exactly 50% through animating the next video, I wanted to pop up for air and share this beautifully hideous map.
