is it very important to work straight from beginning to end on the new video, or would you consider taking one week to work on a song and music video to release before the long video is done?
well i was doing that for a little bit, but i got such harsh lectures for "not doing a history video" sayind stuff like "bill, why aren't you doing a history video" and "bill, you fucking idiot, why aren't you doing a history video." which makes me so angry because i AM doing a history video.  there are 2 things i want to do desperately, and that's songs and research videos. I'm not sure where people stand on this issue. i just can't take being accused of not doing something i AM doing, AND it is something i want to do. i want to do them both, so it is very difficult to see where to go here. in a way, i want to start doing songs every week, like NOW, but at the same time i gotta get this history video done. Even people who defend me say "hey, he only wanted to make history of japan, that was a one-time deal. leave him alone." but it's NOT a one-time deal whatsoever. japan was just a test run of a much greater realm of the research format. So either way i am stuck. it's a lot like how i felt stuck between vine and history, before the history video came out, everyone thought i was an 'idiot' and 'irresponsible' for not following through on more vines. it's hard to figure out who is in the majority, and i don't think i should. i saw a content creator try to do a voting system for what the fans thought he should do, and i was honestly very turned off by the idea. i was thinking "you're the dude, i'm following YOU, ... if you're the leader and you don't know where to go, that's not a very strong sign of leadership." so i generally try to stay away from trying to go strictly where the majority would say i should go. besides, if i did that, there's no way i would have taken the risk to do history of japan when i already had a vibrant vine following.  so ultimately i have to do what i think is right, and i am extremely torn between songs and big videos at this juncture, but this particular video is turning out to be really large and epic and i think it is exactly what needs to happen right now. and it could easily take a few more months if i work SOLIDLY on it. who knows what may happen if i try to take detours and do songs.... that will make it take even longer, and imagine how much more intense the lectures will get
