EPITHET UPDATES + Live Editing Stream (Now)

I'm entering the home stretch of this ~1h15m video about the design of anime openings that Amy and I have been working on for almost two full years now.

Feel free to join me if you're interested in editing streams. If not, here's the next few things in the pipeline:

• The Anime OP video is very, very almost done. I'm putting SFX on it, which will be wrapped in ~2 full days of work, today included hopefully. Then I have to put music on it, which I always despise doing, but it usually only takes 2-3 days max. This is the longest video I've ever put out, but only 40 minutes of it needs to be scored.
  
  After final touches and re-timing bits to fit the music, I'll have to actually manage to upload the damn thing. Because this is a video about Japanese media and it uses visuals and audio from the sources, that might take a few tries and I may even have to sacrifice some songs entirely if I want to get it online. Luckily for Patrons, you guys will get to see the video exactly as intended and it will be uploaded here first.
  
  Additionally, one of the reasons this video has taken so much time is because of the Patreon-exclusive content that will be coming out alongside it. When the video comes out, there will be an additional 7 hours of extra videos just for you guys. SEVEN. HOURS. Holy shit!

• After that, I'm going back to writing Epithet's novelization full-time. The first book is already halfway done. My working title in the doc is Shards of Silence, but I'm probably just going to call the first one Epithet Erased. I can't predict my writing speed, but I'm a very fast writer compared to everything else I do. I think I'm going to try to write at least the first two books (novelization of the Museum arc and the Redwood Run arc) within a month or so. Then, honestly? I might just start on Sweet Escape. Because holy shit have I wanted to write Sweet Escape.
  
  Here's a preview for you of some stuff I've already written for the first book:

  

  

• The Giovanni Villain song, the final song from the Kickstarter, will be entering production in March. I imagine that'll take at least a month and some change. The song will be very long (the longest of any of them) and getting Kyle in a booth can be tricky with his schedule. Also last time it took Sound Cadence 2+ weeks to get me his audio for some reason, so. Y'know. Random delays.

Don't forget that Manga Book Club is starting back up on March 1st! We'll be reading my favorite manga, Golden Kamuy.

We're also currently streaming fully-voiced playthroughs of Of the Devil on Fridays, which is like if Ace Attorney and Dangan Ronpa were actually good, and Dangan Ronpa on Sundays, which is like if Dangan Ronpa was bad. Which it is!
