"Avoiding Politics" Script Notes
Added 2020-02-20 05:45:10 +0000 UTCHey Patreonaroonies, so here in the extra credit classroom I'm always trying to think of cool stuff I can share without pulling the curtain too far back on what goes into my lesson prep. So here's something I do for every video, which is to write out a full script and then print it and mark notes all over it while reading it out loud. It helps me with pacing and finding good improv-sounding jokes to put in the final draft.
Most of my favorite moments come from this phase, where I'm away from the computer at a bar or something, just burning through the script like I hate it and scratching out anything that bothers me for something faster and sharper. It's my cure to writer's block and I've never made a script worse when making notes like this.
Check the attachment for the original "Avoiding Politics" script and see how many of those notes made it into the final lesson. Also check out the part where I wrote "insert well written final comment" -- that's just lazy writing Erik you dumb fuck! My second favorite part is my insistence on making this joke about frying your t-shirts before wearing them. Anyway, fry your shirts and please enjoy.

2020-02-22 17:40:07 +0000 UTCThis is definitely the coolest Patreon reward I've ever received. I actually keep my own scribbles just in case I become famous enough for them to matter one day, but I never thought I'd be able to look at someone else's. Keep 'em coming, daddy
