Forlorn Muskeg series - Part 1 (Patreon)

Hi everyone

As you may have seen on my page, there will be some videos coming on surviving in Forlorn Muskeg. This is the "Kegstand" challenge, where I spawn in FM on loper and try to survive for 20 days. Initially, it was meant to be one long video, but my daughter was born halfway through it and it is hard to find the time to continue it. I realised that if I dedicate my few available recording sessions to it, then it probably will take another month or longer to make, and no other videos will be made in the meantime.

So instead, I am doing what I have seen some other YouTubers do successfully: I am splitting the run into episodes, roughly 1-1.5 hour long. So far, I have enough footage for at least 3 episodes, and plan to release them weekly. Patreons and YT members will get access to all of them in advance, though, as soon as I have sorted them out. After the challenge is completed, I will re-edit the footage into one long video. It won't be a supercut per se, as I am keeping the raw files. This will result in a new intro for the final version, along with fewer breaks, different chapters, and only the one patreon credit. For the episodes, I have an intro for Part 1, but for Part 2 onwards only the credit sequence plays. Also, since I didn't originally intend for the video to be split into segments, there are no natural break points. Nowhere do I say "That's it for now", so therefore the episodes typically end whenever the character goes to sleep, and that's it.

I have never done this before, except maybe the Tales supercut, but that was very different. But I have seen other YouTubers do it, and as along as it all comes together at the end, it works well. So this will be a good experiment for me, and will also allow me to have a weekly video for at least a month going forward.

Part 1 will be released this weekend on YouTube. Part 2 and 3 will probably come over the next two weekends, but once both are uploaded and sorted, you can expect a new post and you can see them both now :)

Attached is Part 1. I havent fixed chapters and text description yet, nor have I actually watched through the video (but have no reason to think something is wrong), but it should be watchable in its current form. Enjoy!

All the best,

Zak
