Tell your Patrons what you're working on!

So, this is a ~95% complete draft. There's still the following that needs to be done:

• Audio mix
• Fix some copyright music in a few clips (conspiracy folks love to blast Vangelus)
• Reevaluate a few clips I don't like
• Rerecord a couple lines where I hate my delivery
• Record the interludes
• Record the new version of the ending (old script cards are in place)
• Finalize grade
• Quadruple-check spelling and math in all on-screen elements
• Anything I think of in the next couple days

I just became a patron because of this video. I can't express how deeply it's impacted me. I've watched it about 4 or 5 times now and I only discovered it a couple days ago. I live in MTG's district and many of my friends and extended family are deeply influenced by these views. This is the first explanation I've seen the adequately addresses the resistance to evidence, to reason. Thank you!

Using the flat shore line to underline the name at 3:45 ist just... absolute perfection

I had a hunch we would get a "flat earth" double entendre partway through but when it finally hits, the delivery and how it pulls elements together is phenomenal.

Write a comment Really impressive vid in terms of easily traversing a very broad constellation of topics without ever getting bogged down or distracted, which I imagine is hard given the topic(s). The opening credits montage is some great editing to music; while I wouldn't say I 'enjoyed' the video (not because of the quality but because QAnon is not something 'enjoyable') I really found it had a lot of enjoyable moments, and that (and, presumably, when it's finished, the closing montage) were highlights. Interested to see who performed that music. In any case, well worth the wait.

I just started watching it. The lake is just beautiful.

Great video, if more than a little depressing. Hope you are doing well :-)

PHENOMENAL video. Finally redeems Alberta after that big flat earth conference in Edmonton back in 2018

I did not see the pivot to QAnon coming, and it was delightfully executed. Thank you.

watched this right before bed last night (your timing in posting was both impeccable and terrible for me lmao). it's not like I expected anything else but holy shit seeing the shore just disappear below the water was wild, and I am glad you cut to watching the footage at home saying it was affecting you because... wow same and of course the video itself is so good. looking forward to the finished version!

Echoes from Elsewhere

The first part involving Lake Minnewanka reminds me of S G Collins' debunking of moon landing conspiracies (basically, it was technologically impossible to fake it in 1969 with the film technology of available). https://youtu.be/_loUDS4c3Cs

This is excellent, and I'm looking forward to the final version. You hit the nail on the head with the frustrations I had with Hbomb's video, so I feel especially excited by this.

This is already one of those videos that I know has buried into my brain and will inform how I explain a lot of things in the future

I came here for the picturesque views of the lake and I stayed because of that incredible second act twist. Thank you for another great video.

Dan, this might be your best video ever.

I always enjoy your analysis, but this one was paired with absolutely stunning visuals and filmography. Thanks for the interesting video!

Great video! I’ve been a fan for years, and after watching this one for the second time I knew it was time to sign up for your Patreon.

This video was excellent. After seeing it on YouTube, I decided I should support you on Patreon. I hope you can make more videos like this, your insight was great.

Great vid, as always. Funny, thoughtful and educational. Keep up the good work. Also, props on what I assume to be a yellow manual Ford Focus. I really think this world can use more yellow cars.

Hi Dan, been a fan of your work for a long time but the QAnon video convinced me to sign up as a patreon - really important to get those kind of ideas out there and challenge this fascist ideology. Also loved the video on the pandemic and your lukewarm defence of 50SOG - much love and solidarity from London!

Came to say (and do) the same thing. For me it was the Suicide Squad video trhat first brought me here, and the QAnon video pushed me over the edge. Solidarity from Cambridge! (UK)

Same here - long time watcher, first time patreon after your Flat Earth Video. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Germany

I find myself rewatching this every once in a while to really let it sink in. Brilliant piece!
