Each final, finished, precisely polished video you see

stands atop a mountain of material you don't.

Books and papers,

and sometimes investigative travels,

time lost and confused

in the infinite diverging paths

of The Forest of All Knowledge.

Writing a script to try to light the way.

The final video takes hundreds of human hours to carefully craft.

The whole mountain couldn't possibly fit in

otherwise there would never be a video.

But what has to be left out is sometimes heartbreaking!

Not to mention the Easter eggs

and little details that are put in

but can easily go unnoticed.

So, I'm going to talk about some of

the behind-the-scenes in a more casual,

force-myself-not-to-prepare-too-much-otherwise-it'll-never-happen
