Behind the Scenes Video. I often get asked questions (usually in my Patreon-exclusive Q&As) about my process for creating videos: how do I decide on a topic, how do I go about research, what does my writing process look like, how do I go about filming? I do my best to answer these as comprehensively as I can but, for a while now, I've been thinking about creating a behind-the-scenes video in which I document the entire process from start to finish, taking my Patrons along for the ride.

500 Patrons is a massive goal and might be a bit ambitious. Nevertheless, it would represent a level of financial security which would mean I could really begin to think long-term about this writing and video-making stuff.

Whilst it might involve a lot of supercuts of me sat at my desk writing (and many, many clips of me banging my head against the desk as I struggle to find the right words), I'd really love the opportunity to share my process for creating these videos and I like to think it might be interesting for you too.

Most probably, this video will be semi-exclusive to Patrons. Whilst I definitely won't release it on my channel like my usual videos, I might use it as the featured video on my Patreon landing page so that anyone considering joining us can get an insight into the sheer volume of hard work that goes into creating these videos. Happy to take feedback on that idea though if anyone feels strongly that it should be 100% exclusive!
