tl;dr: We're starting another (much shorter and easier) Down the Rabbit Hole while we wait for the graphics to be finished on the current one and I'm bringing on potentially permanent help for research. Graphics are coming along steadily and the final orchestration for the current video has begun...
2024-11-02 12:26:59 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
It’s been a minute. Before I get to the meat of this post, let me let you know where we are in the production process for the next Down the Rabbit Hole.
Right now, I’m waiting on Ryan and Arc to finish making the music and the graphics respectivel...
2024-09-21 03:47:54 +0000 UTC View PostThe narration for the next Down the Rabbit Hole is now fully recorded.
The next step is to take the next afternoon or two to begin editing the narration into the form it will be heard in the video, including the various different interviews that I've conducted with players ...
2024-08-09 21:33:25 +0000 UTC View PostTo avoid spamming everyone, I'll be posting these audiobooks without posting notifications after this one until the more frequent uploading schedule is finished, so please check back to make sure you're not missing them!

2024-07-30 02:27:22 +0000 UTC View PostThe final draft of the script for the new Down the Rabbit Hole is now complete.
The next steps are relatively straightforward: once I record the final narration and cut the interviews in with it, Arc can begin taking the assets that he's been making and animate them in time with the descrip...
2024-07-24 23:29:04 +0000 UTC View PostTHE FIRST DRAFT OF THE SCRIPT IS COMPLETED
Those of you familiar with my process may know that my editing phase tends to be extremely short since I'm rather precise about my first draft, so it should only take another afternoon to have the script ready.
With this done, the next step w...
2024-07-19 01:08:26 +0000 UTC View PostWe're behind again! The heat wave made recording rather unbearable and my space would have been unlivable without AC, and so I decided to delay recording. I intend to catch up this week, and I've made the decision to record the entirety of The Prince in full.
There are quite a few Italian n...

2024-07-02 01:13:00 +0000 UTC View PostI discovered this satirical(?) article only recently and absolutely fell in love with it, and I'd like to share it with all of you today. It's about the way that administrative staff have a tendency to always and only grow, and how this effect is achieved.
We are behind on audiobooks, so I'...
2024-07-01 01:39:21 +0000 UTC View PostHELLO THERE, it's been a minute!
After the EVE video, while I never stopped working on the next Down the Rabbit Hole, work was relatively slow as I put my life back into order and I've prepared for a rather major life change.
Still, progress is going well! For this next video, I've co...

2024-06-16 06:49:01 +0000 UTC View PostI wanted to record something a bit meatier, but I've been a bit ill and lethargic, so I hope this will do.
This is a story from Columbia in the 1960s and features both the peculiarities of magical realism alongside the peculiarities of a country decades in the past, which makes for somethin...
2024-06-09 08:31:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe first part of The Time Machine, a fascinating novel and a classic.
If I had my way, I would read the entire book for all of you, though it would take a couple of months to complete at this pace. Please tell me your thoughts on the matter in the comments here. (This book gets incredibly ...
2024-06-02 02:39:50 +0000 UTC View PostAsimov's self-admitted favorite story. It's surreal to think that this author once had cola ads on the same page as his work. It won't be the last time we visit him.
2024-05-26 02:03:41 +0000 UTC View PostNumber two of 39.
I should note that the figure 39 includes the new audiobooks that will come due as the months pass, so once that number is reached, I will be properly out of the hole.
I'm taking the opportunity to experiment with EQ and recording methods, so please let me know what ...
2024-05-18 02:58:04 +0000 UTC View PostBy my calculations, I will need to record 39 audiobooks to catch up with what I owe. Let's begin here, with a classic from William Gibson about a man experiencing a future that America expected but never was.
2024-05-10 02:59:14 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
As some of you may have noticed, it's been some time since I've recorded audiobooks. The "audiophile" tier states that I would release an audiobook every month for people pledging at that level, but I have not been meeting that incentive.
This is unacceptable.<...

2024-03-14 02:33:12 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! Progress continues steadily on the video. Right now is the most dull part of the video making process from an outside perspective, I believe, since there are few obvious milestones to hit. Rather, it's been a process of building up information and bits of the script.
Despite...
2024-03-11 04:25:40 +0000 UTC View PostHello! I hope everyone had a comfortable holiday. I myself took an extended period with my loved ones, something that was drastically needed after the arduous production of the EVE Online video, but even so, we all have been making progress on the next Down the Rabbit Hole.
Much like the EV...

Progress on the next Down the Rabbit Hole continues at a good pace. Ryan is already working on the song that will serve as the credits track and will fill space for more action-oriented B-roll; our hope for the video is to try something a little bit different, emulating Ken Burn...

I am losing my goddamn mind.
Editing has been proceeding steadily, but tediously. The orange lines indicate the section of video where I still have things to resolve, such as highlighting text, adding quoted text, or injecting Arcaxon's animations. Everything before the orange lines is in i...
