Potentially VERY Early Access but to an unfinished video and stuff...

Hey peeps,

After doing the podcast and kinda saying my thoughts out loud... as well as Rab's comment... I think it is gonna be best if I take a break.  Just from a personal well-being standpoint.  It's got so bad that I can barely face doing more than like... a scene a day with this video now.  And scenes are about... 5 seconds long so... not really the most productive way of working.  lol.

It's escalated really bloody quickly as well.  I went from having lingering concerns to like... I need to stop right now... all within the space of maybe a week or two.  So... yeah - my advice to anyone else:  "DON'T IGNORE ALARM BELLS GOING OFF IN YOUR HEAD".

But I wanted to make sure that you guys had something.  So here's the video... but it's not finished lol.  Think of it as like a 'progress report'.  A big chunk of it's done.  But there's no speech bubbles yet.  I haven't added all of the characters, e.g. Death Knights, Ogres, some other bits.  There's a bit of audio missing because I'm going to re-record that with a simplified version of events (easier to edit).  

So there's still a fair bit left to do despite it possibly seeming like it's mostly finished.  I haven't even watched this rendered version back so there may be some glaring visual errors as well.

So yeah - I don't know how long I need.  I'll play it by ear.  I think what I definitely need to do is spend a bit of time just not working on anything.  Not editing my videos.  Not editing a Hiru video (after the one I am currently working on is done).  Not writing scripts.  Not making fantastic little montages lol.  I need a new hobby... and I need some me time.  And once I've got that shit sorted... we'll crack on with this series and all will be right in the world. 

Cheers mates.  Look after yourselves.  Much love.
