To the left is a teaser picture of something I've been working on. It's the introductory sequence of an Adam Curtis-style documentary tentatively called "The Horror of Life's Meaning: From Eastern and Western Religions to Liberal Humanism." The movie pulls together some themes from my blog and adds some ideas I haven't written about yet, especially with regard to monotheistic religions, and it will be around three hours when it's done. By "Adam Curtis-style" I mean that it's mainly a collage of archival clips with music and me talking in the background.
Well, I'm on page 4 of 36 in terms of putting together the visuals and audio, so there are at least a couple months to go. On the plus side, the introduction was relatively slow because I had to practice using the software. The more I do, the faster it will go. The whole thing is written already. I just need to find suitable videos and songs to use and compile them. But it's not my day job...
Thanks, and that's the idea, to go viral, but of course it's unlikely. It must be like winning the lottery, but I think the chances increase the more videos you produce, so I plan to make more documentaries or Adam Curtis-style videos after this one. The others will be shorter so I can make them faster.
How is it coming along?

DeleteCool. I look forward to an easier format to ingest your output. You may even go viral ;) hehe
