Do you think it is possible for me to make a full episode (20-30 min) of Defunctland, while not saying more than a sentence?

I'll only say the sentence like three or four times tops. No talking head interviews either.

Video montage with some good music and call back clips and end it with the one recorded sentence. Totally doable.

Sounds like a really interesting idea, and although I can't figure out how it'd work, I'm sure the end result will be great

Reminds me of how crowbcat does his "video essays" without saying a word, just lets the evidence speak for itself. Obviously more of a comedic/sarcastic tone than your usual videos but I do like the format. Sometimes it's hard to understand what I'm looking at, though :shrug:

Not more than a single sentence in total words? Or just a video where you use nothing but incomplete sentences?

FYI, I listen to Defunctland episodes more than I watch them.

Confess: you’ve already done it haven’t you 😂

The racing documentary "Senna" creates the dramatic and action-packed narrative of a feature film using only stock footage, print headlines, and minimal VO. You can DEFINITELY do it.

Unless there is a really good reason to do it, skip it. If it's going to be, like a screensaver, ambient thing, then sure, but I image you wouldn't talk at all then.

begging you not to do this to yourself and your viewers lmao

You have such an incredibly solid body of work already that I think you've earned the right to experiment on different formats if you want to, and that I would assume even if it's a dramatically different format that whatever you created would still be well worthwhile
