Hello,

EDIT: we recorded a video already, you can still post and we might cover something in the future, but keep that in mind.

we (Chris from Military Aviation History and I) will perform a test on one or more video conferencing tools for future video conference recordings (useful for interviews with experts) and want to take the opportunity to perhaps make an exclusive video or two for our supporters. So ideally something we both can chime in. If you have any ideas of what we could talk about, please let me know down below. Looking forward to your suggestions.

Cheers,
Bernhard aka MHV

My suggestion of non petroleum based Rocket interceptor is gone as well.

I know that the two of you frequent National Archives and Museums to gather and transcribe information of interest and talk with experts. But I am sure you discover information that is turned into other videos than what you were planning. So I am curious, how much is pre-planned and how much is discovered that is made into other videos due to the information being tangential or unrelated to what you went looking for?

That is a great question and we might cover it in the future. We already did record a video, so I edited the post to point that out. Also I will give you are short answer from my side about it. Basically, going into the Military Archives in Germany is time-consuming and thus also expensive, to get to Freiburg I have to travel about 8 hours I think with train. So 2 days just on the road. As such we usually go at least 3 days, the maximum is 4,5 days, since on Friday they close earlier. Another aspect is that sometimes I think I ordered the perfect document, but 1) actually it is not, 2) it is not there, since a) it is lost, b) in conservation (mold etc.), c) out for digitization, d) something else. So generally a trip to the archives is: get as much as possible photograph as much stuff of it and then head home and review it at one point or another. I think last time I had 400-800 entries on my list and I knew that was too much, I think I was able to do 150-200. About videos, some happen in matter of days, e.g., the trailer analysis which should hit early access today or tomorrow, I had the idea on Tuesday or Wednesday, on Thursday evening I had finished it and on Friday Phil had checked it for errors. Then there was the Soviet Anti-Tank Dogs effectiveness video, I think I got most of the information one year prior to release, I had started the script and did some parts - I think - or at least a large collection of sources and quotes and Dr. Roman Töppel had provided with additional information and then it sat dormant for quite some time. Then there is the "spontaneous long-term", e.g., in 2019 Roman suggested a video on tank ramming, shortly after that I went to the MHM Dresden and while talking to Jens in the tank depot, we decided to record his opinion and experience as a historian and former Leopard driver in the Bundeswehr. Months later I wrote the Visualized episode, got additional data from Roman and then interviewed Chieftain. The idea was to likely edit together the talk with Jens, but there were many other ways how it could have turned out. Pre-planned, so, last year I had planned almost the whole year for not visualized, the idea was to cover a lot of German generals about 10-20. I also wrote a rather long script for one general til 1941 that was in January 2020... so far I haven't touched it again and of course, I didn't do any of the German generals video and basically did an almost complete other plan. I have like several lists of topic ideas, that I often forget about and constantly make new ones. Now it is of course not complete chaos, since I published consistently and on-time with a few exceptions for more than 5 years. So, I would say, 40-60 % is planned tactically (2-8 weeks ahead), 5-10 % is spontaneous usually an idea, a question, a comment, a document, a movie, a suggestion sparks those, e.g., the Why the Yamato to Okinawa was a question that came up on a twitch stream, I didn't know the answer and I wanted to know. 30 - 55 % are planned strategically with a few months before, I generally do an outline in late December or early January for the year. The planning for Visualized is far more on spot and less random than with not visualized. Also I am changing my approach particularly when it comes to museums visits, e.g., the last trip to the Panzermuseum was planned extensively whereas some previous visits were basically "let's go there and see what happens". Generally, I come across so much information and interesting aspects that I constantly revise stuff and of course, I also must assess of the video is interesting enough and how much work it will be. > how much is discovered that is made into other videos due to the > information being tangential or unrelated a lot, since quite often the stuff I was looking or hoping for was not there, yet a lot of other stuff that was also extremely interesting etc.
