A long time coming- thank you for all your support! Hopefully this is an interesting look at the process of making one of these videos. This will probably take the place of a Director's Commentary on this one because it would covers all the same things, but I'm still happy to chat about the video itself in the Discord.

This was an absolutely fascinating exploration into how fun and finicky this whole process can be! Thanks Jacob :)

the description of the surgery was not too gross for me, for what it's worth, so either you made the right call, or I am also on the more chill side of reactions. 🤷‍♂️ and the cuts back and forth between the different threads in this video was brilliant. I got what you were doing right away and loved it every time it happened, it took me by surprise and I was delighted every time.

This was great, thank you Jacob

I'm a long time fan but a new patron, and I found this really riveting. It has made me think about my own life and work in a new way. I'm a barrister (trial lawyer in the UK) and I found it staggering how many parallels there were with my own professional process - the painstaking process of attempting to combine creativity (both in generating ideas, and following/serving the ideas of others) and technical craft. No point in having good original ideas if you don't understand the works of others - no point in understanding the work of others if you don't have your own vision - and no point in anything at all if you don't have the grit to bang your head against the table for weeks on end until it all "works" properly within the medium you're working in. Great stuff.

Great video! Loved seeing the behind the scenes locations and outtakes. I hadn’t even noticed the book covered your face in that segment, so it worked better than you gave yourself credit for. Would love to see more, especially on the videos that have more intricate compositions.
