Hey guys, the design and script for the new trailer video are almost complete – just ironing out some of the fiddlier details now. It's about 10 minutes long, full of analysis and speculation on the trailer. There's an inordinate number of pop culture references in this one.. still paining over whether to include a dumb "cracking open a cold one with the boys" joke about Jon and co. fighting the "cold" white walkers..

Ideally I'd like to get the video done today – but that might be impossible, so expect the release for Patrons in around ~24 hours (:

Also, I've been thinking about the whole Shift/Swift idea, different kinds of content – how about, shortly after each GOT S7 episode, we hold a Patron-only livestream? I could go over some immediate thoughts on the episode (like in Swift), and we can hold a little Q&A, have a chat about the ep. Sound good?

Yes! I love that idea. Would you want to do it as a Q&A or a platform to quickly rattle off ideas in early development?

Samantha K Enriquez

YES livestream for Patrons all the way! The Shift/Swift might be a bit extra, especially since I personally just want to see a Shift video. A Swift vid is just too much of a tease. Plus we finally get to see what you look like!

Samantha K Enriquez

Also, bc I tend to read quickly, I ended up reading "Swift" as "Shwift"....so I got excited that you had a Rick Sanchez version of the trailer recap...

swift is perfect in the sense that it cancels out the worst part about your stuff: waiting a bit longer than other GoT comment videos. livestream is another good idea, i just think i will miss the airing time so pls just make sure you make it watchable later. anyhow, i'm a big fan of whatever you do so do it however you like, just keep'em coming ;)

Alex

I agree with Yelda, whatever you decide is going to be perfect in any ways XD . And if you decide to do it, I might some times do a night up to watch the episode in real time and wait for your livestream, I think in Europe would be around 2/4 am!

Yes, great idea! I bet the added bonus would be more Patrons. Making the livestream archived after works with Crash Course so I'm sure there wouldn't be issues with people who couldn't make the original stream. Their links aren't public, so they put up a patron-only post with the link. Swift is great too though, so whatever gives you the best energy to put out your usual quality content I'm happy with! :)

Love that idea! I'll be in the livestream for sure. Always need a debrief after an episode.

Love the idea!

Davis Hood

Love the idea of a livestream!

Took me 30 days, 6 attempts, and 3 password changes to get into this damn Patreon thing-a-ma-bob so I could say......"#schwiftysquwad". So. Stay Schwift, stop the live streams on Fridays, they kill me, suck it up and create a Schwifty Facebook Profile and join our group. Or we will Shame you. Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame. And thanks, I fuckin love this shit. And Crack open a few cold ones for me. And remember to laugh and smile. And never start a sentence with AND.

#schwiftysquwad. All tangents, meandering, analysis, burping, and almost creeping Welcoooomes. But no Photos. Probably for the best.

Erica Campbell

Sounds great! #schwiftysquwad #patronposse

Audun Opsahl

sounds nice. but shortly after as in what time period? like evening europe time morning us time?

Alex

Hi Oyster!!!!! Glad to see u here, #schwiftysquwad yeah! But must say the idea of a FB group... makes my cry...

Hairless Oyster

I need a place to talk to the other miscreants about how Schwifty things are. We have about 40 people and they range in age from 14 to around 65. Everyone knows how to use FB. Even Old Nan types. Shiera Seastar even opened an account to talk shit with us. Have Fun, Be Well.

Alex

I would love a place where to share Schwifty things, but do not let it be FB....there must be another way, a less gross place...

Nick Vance

Personally, I'm happy to wait for quality and would rather you just put your effort into the regular videos. Not that the Swift video wasn't interesting but I'm patient and would like you to still sleep once the season starts. :-)

Otter

I'm fine waiting for the videos. But I wouldn't say no to a livestream, provided it was recorded if I couldn't make it.

Alt Shift X

Welcome, Oyster! Yeah Facebook is less than ideal, but it'll serve for the time being I reckon

Alt Shift X

A bit of both, I reckon. We'll figure out what works!

Alt Shift X

I'd just stream some visuals from the GOT episode I think - not doing a face reveal yet ;)

Hairless Oyster

Shame. So someone started that Discord thing. Am I Discording it properly? How do I Internet my Speakers. I feel like Aemon when he left the wall. Egg? Egg? I dreamed we were Ooooooold. You happy now? Do you even Discord, Bro?

Alt Shift X

Yeah Discord makes sense I think - will mention it next Schwift!

Hairless Oyster

I see what You did on the 0900 EST launch time. I watched more then one time. worked out real good. Real good. I don't know what abridging/tangents ratio you are shooting for but this episode felt about right to me. If you need to shit, Don't Wait. That Will Give you Ass Cancer.

Alt Shift X

I'm not sure of the timing yet - might have to experiment to find what works best. But yeah probably the morning after, US time.
