Thank you to all those who attended our anniversary stream!

Aside from the unfortunate absence of our friend (and your friend) Mike Brady, everything else went very well - a rarity for these occasions. Which is great, considering the complexity of this year's event.

Thank you as well to our friends at RMS Titanic, Inc. who have been excellent partners in this project and gracious hosts for our team in Orlando. We couldn't have done this event in this way without them!

We had a good pre-sinking stream with Kyle Hudak, Jack Gibson, Liam Sharpe, and David Nonini, followed by the animation itself accompanied by commentary from James Penca and Matt DeWinkeleer with excellent guests Rory Golden and David Gallo, plus a packed audience in Orlando. Around 7,550 of you joined us online at the peak. Afterward, we had a post-sinking stream with Kyle and the others.

We discussed much, from the history of our animations to the nuances and interesting points of the sinking, and some great stories from our guests Rory and David. We also had a ton of great comments flowing in from people all over the place, and we apologize that we couldn't spend time answering everybody's questions.

Of course, if you missed it, the stream is available to watch here at your convenience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6ZpkNbwscA

The full sinking animation - without commentary, full sound, 8k - will be available on our YouTube channel VERY soon (probably by the time most of you read this).

We thank all of you for your kindness and support, and for sticking with us though the stream this year and years past. We hope you take something valuable from what you've heard and seen tonight, be it stories, lessons, or something else.

We also hope you all take time as you go to sleep tonight (or wake up in the morning) to think of the 1,496 people who were lost on that cold, dark April night, and of those who made it to safety but were scarred nonetheless.

There are so many individual stories to tell about Titanic - Titanic's overall story is a giant tapestry with thousands of threads that can never all be covered at once, and we're glad you all gave us a bit of your time tonight (and this month) to let us tell that story in our own little way to the best of our ability.

And while the sinking is over, there's still more on the schedule for A Month to Remember, so keep a look-out for that.

Thank you and goodnight!

That animation was phenomenal! Kyle did such a wonderful job! We obviously cannot forget everyone else. Bless the 1496 people lost, along with the greatest ship ever made!

What an incredible animation! Remembering the people aboard Titanic with such reverence, is so appreciated.

The animation and discussion was very good. Prior to this I had seen both the old and new movies, and read several books; this just added a real effect because it slowed everything down, weaving in real survivors stories. The offering of the quiet time just to watch the ship's final minutes really brought home what those who remained on board were having to come to terms with. Thank you.

This 2024 real time sinkin is a true mindblowin' masterpiece, feels like night mode and sinkin combined with all those VFX shots (350+), additional sounds and voices recorded. Congrats to the hole team involved. The amount of detailed animations, quotes and information givin' - 4k rendering - y worked 10 month on this !? Incredible effort. Love those little flyin camera angles outside of the ship where y can look into cabins and areas who have been added to the demo over the last year. I didnt expect y would have the full modell used for the new outside distance animations. Great cinematography and art direction overall. I learned so much more in those 3 hours now. I had never heard or read before that the steam releasin' took so much time.
