Ben, having the ancient steps up to the Triforce cups in the ancient shrine is iconic for an opening, and mad kudos to Sarah for angling the camera AT THE STEPS for the walk up. I can't think of any gamer with a pulse who would watch that intro and not be mildly intrigued to keep watching. If it isn't a short yet, it should be. It's nerdy cinema that intro.

I'm watching the Japan trip now, and I like that the audio has some restaurant ambiance in it! It makes it sound more genuine! It's very MinnMax, like a New Show Plus where you go out skateboarding. And maybe I'm wrong, but couldn't the Japan trip be like 4 20-minute videos? I didn't know the 17-bit showcase would have Disney Sea stuff in it, I think most people can't really tell what the thumbnail is because this one video is so packed. Why not make the Osaka night stuff, the 17-Bit stuff and further Japan touring their own videos? Then your work makes a couple weeks of content instead of 1 notification that people might miss.

There is no correct answer if they are asking you for your rose / thorn. They, most likely, are just trying to get a better sense of you and or how you are feeling. What you liked and didn’t like. Maybe this is a more common question in media circles, but I feel that most people don’t ask probing questions.
