As promised here's a whopping one hour long editor commentary of how the recent Knight Rider video was made and edited. If you wondered how KITT was able to hold a back-and-forth conversation with me, or drive himself, this will totally ruin the magic!
Dear Supporters
Here's another fun-filled jam-packed episode of The ЯRetro Show, including a Quick Bytes where Ladyfractic & Josiefractic have a little "Gen X vs. Gen Z" challenge!

Hey Brick Builders, Ladyfractic here!
I'm so excited to invite you to join me on my first solo video - filmed and edited solely by yours trulyfractic (with a teeny bit of guidance from someone called Purplefractal). I really enjoyed working on this, and will be finishing part 2 soon. ...

Update: The poll graph was decisive but some of the comments also made a good point that the much loved Option 1 image from the show opening titles might've been seen so much already by viewers that they ignore it here.
So I thought it would be interesting to sign up to TubeBuddy and ...

Thanks for your patience with this video; one of those "tentpole" major videos that I do from time to time. And whilst this was I think my biggest edit to date, I hope you have as much fun watching as I did creating it all!

Toknight I thought I'd share a little teaser of the intro to the next recipode. This video is proving incredible fun to make but also a lot of work and driving, which is why it's taking a little longer than usual.
In case you haven't been following the Patreon Le...

Thumbnail updated: Sometimes I like to take a little time to get it just right, as is the case here! I've found it can sometimes make or break a video's success, which all in turn helps the channel and our little retrogang here. Go Perifracteam! Hope you like it!

Getting slowly but surely back into the swing of things following shoulder surgery and family matters with a fascinating subject that I plan to cover more of if/when we eventually make it to Japan. For now though, please enjoy my Shorts! (© Bart Simpson)

Here's a little update slash mini-unboxing (un-enveloping?) which I also used as an opportunity to test a new camera focus thingy that clearly is NOT ready for primetime yet! Haha sorry about that! But I hope you enjoy the rest of the vlog nonetheless.

I thought you might be interested to see this. I’m proud to have some photography contributions included in Bil Herd’s wonderful new book, Back Into The Storm, out now.
