Secret Base Museum: The Bat Donut

Hello, it's Seth! For a while, I've wanted to do a video series in which each episode is centered around a particular, familiar object. We meet the object, we mess around with it, and we learn its purpose and origins and any relevant stories. That's the idea. When everyone was in New York for the Scorigami screening, I grabbed one such object and made a few people shoot a pilot with me.

This is that! Here's a pilot episode of what we're currently calling Secret Base Museum. It's about an item you've certainly seen before but perhaps not stopped to consider: The bat weight, which first and most famously took the form of a "donut" ring shape.

Hope you like it, hope you either enjoy the day off work or do a shitty job at work today if they made you come in.
